Amsterdam to Delhi; how long will it take?
Hi there,
I'm planning een motorbike trip from Amsterdam to Delhi (last quarter of 2008) Anybody done the trip? How much time would I need to do the trip so it would still be a holiday with the occasional sightseeing?
Still any roadbooks lying around? :-)
Looking forward to any replies.
Greetings,
Roland

Sorry to hear @Dnicolleti that you couldnt manage a Pakistani visa. I feel sorry for you as you might have missed the most fascinating place in all this route. I would agree with @Emanuel that Pakistan is wonderful and has to be experienced and is simply indescribable, contrary to the media profiling.

The website is under construction and should be completed soon. In the meantime you can stay in touch with them through my email as I happen to be its current president.
A few friends would be leaving for a few days wandering in the Deosai plains on the 22nd of September ie after the month of fasting. Would look forward to your company, if at all possible.
Regards
Dr Omar Khan

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.
