India to Iran and beyond from the end of Feburary

[ShaneBaby]

Im in a bind I think. I think this is possible weather wise. Any input welcome. But Its going to be cold. I dont want the hassle of visa extension and Indian import extension on Carnet. So I will be leaving India late Feb when my visa runs out solo on a DR 650 after hopefully snowboard for a month in Gulmarg Jammu(epic heli boarding too) heading through Pakistan if its safe at that time ofcourse. Someone must be keen ? fly a bike to Kathmandhu and come snowboarding then ride back to Europe go on you know you want to

Doubt if you are even allowed to cross via Pakistan from India.

Why do you say that? I know 7 people that have done it in the last few months. Has something changed very recently that I dont know about?

Should be a doddle

Hi there,
Sorry for not reverting back.
HUBB has a strange issue of not notifying via emails.
I have faced this over numerous threads. Inspite of subscribing, i do not even get notified when anyone replies to a post / thread.

So no offense about not replying back.
I ran into this post by chance again.

It's great you are able to cross overland from India to Pakistan.
I wonder if its allowed only for foreigners (non-Indians) only?
Have heard that it is restricted for Indians to Overland into Pakistan.

Many overlanders have made it it to Europe Via Pakistan/Iran/Turkey way up to central Europe .

In Quetta, There are many hotels where overlanders stay and continue their journeys by road next morning.


Pls let me know if you guys are planing to undertake this trip this year 2015 , then i am with you guys too.
