India - Nepal - Bhutan

I was hoping to take a bike through India, Nepal, and Bhutan. My head is in a whirlwind looking at different guides etc... I am lost when it comes to carnettes etc... Is it possible to do, without being a citizen of any of these countries?
All of the tours I have seen are way out of my price range. My hope is to do this trip in one direction, and head through China afterwards by public transport etc... Are there one way rentals? Can I buy a bike and sell it elsewhere? Any suggestions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
-Liam

If you are on a budget you may have to discount Butan. I worked with someone who's old teacher is the Butanese embassador for the UK. After several conversation it was determined that there is no cheap way.

The cost is roughly $250 a day which included everything while in Butan. There is no way to lower that cost even if you have your own vehicle, it seems to be a flat rate all tourists have to pay.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
