Has anyone recently purchased an Indian Bike and driven back to Europe via Pakistan, Iran, Turkey etc...

I am aware that I can not technically register an Indian bike in my name in India as I am not an Indian resident. I also believe that I can not get a carnet for an Indian bike. Technically it is not possible however people still undertake this amazing trip home.

I would appreciate any information on peoples experiences of border crossing without carnet and how much it cost (including special donations!)plus any other useful information, contacts of useful officials or general advice anyone may have.

I am currently speaking to others so will update anyone with information as and when I get it.

Many thanks

Why take risks when you can buy the bike in Nepal and legally ride it back?
