Thanks for all the replies!

It's very encouraging to hear so many others planning something similar - I think i'm gonna have to shelf the 'ship the bike to bangkok' plan, keep in touch with those riding overland and go from there! Hopefully this thread will continue to help a few of us on this route to at least cross paths at some point!

Cheers,

Chris

The excellent plan! And an excellent route! It is not a pity we can join. We go on this route, but in August, 2012. We leave Moscow, further on a route: Ukraina-Moldavija-Rumynija-Bolgarija-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-Indija-Shri Lanka. In India and Shri Lanke we remain for the winter and we come back to Moscow in the spring of 2013, through Pakistan-Iran-Armenia-Georgia. We go together with the wife on one motorcycle.Honda Africa twin. We will be glad to all joined! Sorry for my english.:)))))))

Josef

Hi Josef,

Same route but probably a couple of months behind you. Though I think there should be a few others doing this route nearer the time you are. Still keen to find someone/some people to travel iran to india with mid November this year if anyone interested?

Chris

Meanwhile we changed our plan a bit. We are going now first to NZ and then all the way back over land. It´s better because of the rain seasons. We will start end of Ocotber going arround in NZ for a while, then January going to BKK up North to Laos, Cambodia, going down south again (... Malaysia, Indonesia, etc..) all the way to Dili over land and then to AU, from there maybe to Katmandu and back to Germany, somehow mid / end next year ... would be nice to have a live map where we all are any given time ... but ...

cheers Sascha and Kerstin

Hi folks, I have a similar route. I'll start in Delhi mid Sept., going up North to Kashmir and Ladakh, entering Nepal about end of Oct., flying the bike from Kathmandu to Bangkok, Nothern Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, southern Thailand (~end of Dec), Malaysia, Indonesia down to Australia (~ june). Would be fun to meet some of you!

Hi Tom, great jouney. We are doing partly the same trip at the same time. Till you are in Thailand we are in NZ, going from there to BKK (about January) and up north about January and then we drive down to Dili to cross to Darwin, maybe we meet on the road somewhere! Have a safe trip.

Hi guys,

I see there are lots of you heading a similar route in a similar time. I came down from Berlin, Germany to Instanbul, will stay here for a week or so and then (late sept) continue on through Turkey and Iran. Is there anybody of you around still and interested in a meetup in Istanbul or somewhere down the road?

Wish you all a great trip,
migo

hey guys,

We are currently in Dubai having gone from London to Morocco - to Ukraine - to Iran Via Georgia and we now getting the bike serviced and waiting to get our bike flown to Nepal where we plan to head round India, Nepal maybe try get through burma or round china and continue on to Oz.

We think we will be in Nepal from November for 2 ish months, then India for 3 ish months, we have no real plan or time line. Always open to meet other bikes to ride together or just have a beer and catch up.

We could get Visas for pakistan as we left the UK over 4 months ago and that meant we would not have made it to the pakistan border in time.
