Crossing Myanmar/Burma March 2014
Hallo,
Some agencies are organizing the trip to cross Myanmar but is really expensive.
I know about one german guy organizing a 14 days tour the 20 of februray, it cost 2000 euros. I have heard about one group crossing the 5th of february 2014 but I am not sure.
Just right now one friend of mine is crossing in 3 night and 4 days (crazy) wit a small group, he organized this group with a good contact that he have in Myanmar providing escort, permits, hotels and food with a real cheap price.
I am in contact with him and I am trying to organize also a small group for the end of february beginning of march. The cost will be 1000 DOLLARS p/p for 7 nights with all included and sleeping half of the nights in our vehicles. If there are more people the cost can decrease untill 600 DOLLARS p/p.
Right know we are in India (Chennai) with a James Cook 1979 coming from Spain if someone is interested to cross Myanmar with a real cheap price please contact us, our web is somnisbus.wordpress.com

Hi everyone,

We are still very keen on crossing Myanmar. We had originally hoped to do so around this time, but of course our plans have changed.

We are now interested to do the crossing from India to Thailand at the beginning of Feb 2014. Our Indian visas expire on the 4th... so we need to get through beforehand

If anyone has any contacts with agencies to arrange all necessaries, please send me a message with the details. Of course if anyone is interested in joining us we are always happy to share costs and experiences with others!

Thanks,
Kim

Hi Amandre,

Yes, my husband and I are interested for sure. Can you please send me a personal message with more details of the itinerary? Also, your contact information would be very helpful as well.

Do you know of any special permits that are needed on the Indian side to exit at Moreh? We would need to get the applications in for this as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Kim

Everyone seems to be crossing from India to Thailand. Is anyone crossing the other way from Mae Sot, Thailand into Moreh, India?

If you are kimagogo, then I'm in! I have arranged a tour guide & lead car to take us across if you & anyone else is interested for a 9 day/8 night tour for 1,674 USD. Take a look at the thread I've just started for full itinerary & details. Otherwise, I'm more than happy to join someone else's tour

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.
