What's your leaving date? I was going to be heading south through Iran but the politcal situations gone awol and visas aren't horses for courses so I might end up going through Central Asia and down through Kashgar to get into Pakistan instead, which would place me somewhere in Central Asia this summer.
|
So where are you headed this time? My leave date is around the 19th of June
Yes Iran isn't quite so good right now! I'm having a hard enough time convincing my parents not to chain themselves to my bike to stop me going without mentioning Iran and Pakistan haha! |
1st stop is attempting a land crossing across the West Papuan and Papua New Guinean jungle, which means I need to get to Indonesia. So I am thinking of going through Russia to Ulan Ude and then dropping south to Ulaan Batuur before heading west, back up into Russia, down into Kazakstan, Kyrgzstan, Tajikistan, China, Pak, India, Thailand etc etc etc

Sounds pretty cool! how long do you have??
|
It depends how much I get from selling my crapshack of a house, how frugal I can be on the road and how much work I can find while I'm away. I'm aiming for about 4 years but I might be able to make it last a bit longer!
Be warned, I started off just aiming to have a four month trip but this is seriously addictive stuff |

I would be crossing from Jayapura to Vanimo, boat to Wemak and then loop back inland and west into the highlands proper. The plan is to cross the entire island. This is going to be more than 'problematic' I think but it will be possible using a combination of boats and machetes. Some of the locals with bikes have promised to come and help me hack a path through some of the jungle! The final destination would be Leh - shipping to Aus from there. I wanted to go to Port Moresby because my mum used to teach there at Segari National High - but by all accounts it would be a huge effort for very little.
