Help Please !! Overland Route -India-UK
 

Hi All,

I am looking for information regarding the planning, routes on the internet, but so far i have been unable to find a correct route of countries to travel thru.

I would really appreciate if you could help me in anyway regarding this trip. Since I dont know anyone in India who has done a trip like this before, it has become really difficult to get correct information.

Honestly, I am a little scared of doing this trip on my own, but I still want to do. A trip like this will not be possible without support from Family, Friends and all those who can help me with their suggestions.

Could you please tell me, what route should i take from India to reach UK?

Someone has suggested : India-Pakistan-Iran-Turkey-Greece-Italy-France-UK....Is this correct or is there a shorter and safer route?

If you do know of any web links or any other info which could help me, please give them to me.

Thanks in Advance.

We are on our way from Australia to Europe.
Keep an eye on this website as it is amazing how you can meet up with people along the way. We are doing the route you have suggested. We are in Pakistan at the moment. Held up in Islamabud by the Iran embassy. They are so slow at giving out a visa. Suggest you get the Iran visa before you leave home. We had to apply, then go back in 8 days (we used this time to do the Karakoram Highway) and then it took another 4 days to get the visa. Cost us $60 (Australian) for a 7 . . . yes a 7. . . day transit visa that we will have to renew as we go through Iran. It is easy to renew we are told, but will cost us we are sure. Hope this info is a help.

Hai,

Great idea. Just make the journey.
A route I would sugest:
India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Bulgarie, Roemenia, Hongary, Tsjechie, Germany

It has more historical places of interest.

If you want more detailed discriptions just send a mail.
