Surely you'd want to go from Italy to Nepal via Ladakh?

Dear Ilesmark,
Nope I wıll have to draw an eıght fıgure on the map and go straıght to nepal as ın Italy they are ıssuıng only 3months turıstıc vısas whıch are valıd from the date of ıssue. Therefore I wıll be ın Indıa wıth only 25 days remaınıng before expıratıon. The plan ıs to get the nepalese vısa at the border and drıve to kathmandu to sort out the new Indıan vısa than drıve back followıng the Ganga.

Today I am just chıllıng out ın Van.

BTW do you know any good shıppıng company that would handle the hıppıng from Teheran to Karachı?

Thanks and see you soon

Hi Sputnik

Why do you want to ship from Tehran to Karachi? It's driveable, isn't it? There's enough people on this HUBB who have done it.

Re getting the Nepal visa from Italy - I agree this looks like a problem. But have you considered simply getting the Nepalese visa in Tehran, Islamabad or Delhi and then spending all the time you want to spend in India and THEN entering Nepal? Also be aware that it's generally not that difficult to extend a tourist visa for a month or so in a place like Nepal.

Mark

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.
