Overland in a van?
Hi everyone,
A friend and I are looking into converting a Mercedes Sprinter LWB into a camper (nothing fancy, mind) and driving to India from the UK. Depending on the political situation, our route will be either:
- Europe->Turkey->Iran->Pakistan->India
or
- Europe->Turkey->Turkmenistan->(various 'stans)->China->India
I've been researching the practicalities of it, CPDs, insurance, visas, etc. and it all seems doable, however I was a little surprised when I came to this site and saw that everybody else is using motorbikes or 4x4s!
Is there something I'm missing? Are the roads that bad, or are you guys just looking for more off-road adventure than we are? I'd appreciate any advice you have.
Thanks,
Des
