Yesterday been informed by a Turkish friend who is hiking in the area on the way to Katmandu for mountaineering purposes that:
-Myanmar-India bordergate is closed for all foreigners even for hikers ..
So he has just bought a flight ticket from Thailand to Calcutta for 90 USD..Train and bus for the rest of the destination....
-Other option to reach Katmandu is through China and Tibet but Tibet is also closed..
Here is his face page to get in touch if more information needed..
