Crossing Myanmar in March/April 2015 from Thailand to India

Hi guys,

We are going on a trip from Singapore to Germany in early 2015 and will be crossing Burma / Myanmar in March or April from Thailand to India.

Is anyone of you interested in joining our group to split the costs for the guide?

Cheers,

Hauke & Anja

Hi Hauke,

I'm looking at crossing then, by motorbike so I am very interested. Could you let me know (either on here or by private message) more details on costs, timings, and where you plan to cross?

Thanks

Ed

Join the Google Group

Lets have this conversation in the group I've setup.

Once we have dates finalised I can share the costs with you there from the different companies I've contacted and we can try and get the best deal possible!

If you head to https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!forum/myanmar-2015

Specifically this thread - https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm...15/zgRq64S5OPU

But let me know if you can or can't join and whether I need to invite you? Not sure how these groups work!

Looking forward to overland adventures,

Ben

Walking and looking for collaboration

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Horizons Unlimited. In fact, I'm new to forums. I heard about HU while walking across the Gibb River Rd in Western Australia. A young lad who was riding his motorcycle RTW stopped to offer me water and some gatorade. He mentioned this might be a good place to connect with travelers, especially if I'm in need of advice or assistance.

I am a woman walking solo around the world. I walk mostly on donations and share 10% to an organization supporting girls and women. I don't have a big budget but in times of need I won't hesitate to spend what I have, especially if I need to pay for a permit or a guide to get across Myanmar. I am determined to cross Myanmar without having to take a bus due to Visa and transit restrictions. I have walked every step so far and hoping that Myanmar won't change that.

However, I am having two challenges in particular with Myanmar.

1. Getting a permit to cross from Thailand at Tachileik and then on to India via Tamu. I won't be going into Yangon (where the permit offices are) but rather staying North just above Mandalay so I can attempt to make it to the Tamu border before my Visa expires. I have heard that even with a permit for the Tamu border crossing- an expired Visa (even by one day) can be rejected for entrance.

2. Making it across Myanmar in 28 days. I will have to walk about 50 km (31 miles) a day. This may be grueling but with some help it can be done.

Does anyone have any connections to the right company that can help me get the permits for the border crossing if I can't make it in person?

I'm also open to paying for a guide if I absolutely have to to travel beyond Tachileik.

Or, for those of you that are riding across soon, keep an eye out, I pull an orange and black cart behind me that has a sign reading She Walks the Earth. (She Walks the Earth - Woman walks the world) I'd love to share a cup of tea ;-)

PS- I may not make it to Myanmar by April, it may be more like May-June- or July. I am currently walking north in Viet Nam on Ho Chi Minh.

Thank you!

Hallo,
ich bin auf meiner Rückreise nach Deutschland auch an einem Transit durch Myanmar interessiert. Kannst du mir sagen wie der gegenwärtige Stand ist? Welche Schritte muss ich vorher erledigen?
Besten Gruß
