Australia (ship bike to) India overland to UK. 2015.

Looking for fellow traveller(s) for trip from India overland to Europe and UK to then visit Manx GrandPrix in Aug 2015. Will spend some time travelling around India then to Europe via Pakistan, Iran. If at the time it looks not possible then plan B is via China, The Stans and into Europe. Am at organising stage so far, looking into all visa, Carnet and preparing bike. Will be shipping bike from Brisbane around April May next year 2015. I was initially looking at doing the trip in reverse from UK to India but it is cheaper for me this way. Anyone interested please drop me a line.

Hi nwildsmith, I worked for an China adventure tour company who focus on riding and driving tour in China. for your plan B via China, some info for your reference:
1. if you would ship your motorbike to India, then enter China from India-Nepal, it will be Zhangmu border of Tibet of China, the procedures will be complex and the price will be high.
2. might you can consider another option like floor 2 ShaneBaby, ship to Thailand, then you can cross Laos to China via Mohan border of Yunnan, it will be much easier and cheaper.

For China part, the documents and guide is necessary, also a supporting vehicle, so if you have more riders to join you for China part, you can share the cost. sure, make a group with ShaneBaby will be a good idea too.

This is for China part, if u have further questions you can contact me at abby.zhang@navo-tour.com; hope i can help~

Cheers~

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.
