Myanmar overland
 

I know there are many threads on the topic, but just trying to keep it active and stay on top of latest info. Wanting to drive across from Thailand to India at the beginning of 2015. Any advice from people currently doing it or in the future would be great. Permits, travel agency used, cost?
Cheers

Look here. I just posted there something because we want to do the same in July/August but from India over Myanmar to Thailand.

Hey ryanvg
We are serious about forming a group at about that time. We still have to decide on our departure date but hopefully will leave Australia in Oct. Are you riding from Here as well?

Hey guys

Thought I'd jump in on this one as my wife and I will be arriving in Singapore early feb and heading for the UK via Burma and Iran.

We'll be travelling in my LR Defender so no bikes I'm afraid but definitely up for splitting the costs across either or both of them. We can always take the guide with us on board too :)

Send me some details of when you're anticipating heading there and I can l let you know what we've found so far,

Hi Guys, I'm also looking to do Myanmar sometime early in 2015. In the Planning stages for a Melbourne to England trip starting in August. Going solo but more than happy to join forces along the way, especially for the Myanmar crossing. Anyone contacted one of the Myanmar guys for tour details? I've seen some good posts so can send links, etc if ya want.

Cheers,
:mchappy:

We are leaving Australia in October. Haven't contacted an agent yet as it is difficult to workout how long we will take to reach Myanmar. I have Tins details but other posts here list cheaper options. It seems it is becoming much Cheaper!

Really interested to see where you go with this one as we're intending to cross around March 2015 and also heading from Aus to the UK. At this stage I've got a couple of quotes but they're looking mighty expensive at $5k for 9 days!

Any extra advice would be welcome,

Ben

Hi Everyone,
Still planning Aus to UK trip, now starting a bit later, hopefully early Sept. Planning to do Myanmar early 2015 (Jan or Feb). Another couple (overland15) are planning same either March/April.

Keen to join forces with anyone traveling at that time.

We have a couple of quotes from Tin (Bright View Travels & Tours) and Mutu (Welcome to : Myanmar Expert Travel and Tours Co., Ltd.). Can forward details if you want.

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Everyone,

We are also hoping to travel in Myanmar inFebruary or early March 2015. We want to do a round trip entering and exiting to Thailand. Hoping to go one way to Indian border with one group and return with another. We probably have 2 groups interested both in 4WD campervans.

Regards
Barbara

I have formed a Google group for interested travellers so we might be able to
share quotes, ideas etc. and hopefully find some compatible travellers
Myanmar-2015@googlegroups.com to request to join.

Google group
 

Seems the googlegroup has a glitch, so if you want to join Myanmar 2015 group discussion, just email me your private email address and i will add you.
Cheers!

Great to see there's so many people coming together for Myanmar in early 2015!

I'm planning to do it around March, will be in SEA from Mid January, so also looking to get into India this way. However, depending on the bike I''ll get I may be interested in doing a loop and returning to Thailand as well, then fly to Nepal...

Looking forward to see how this develops!

As google group not working do you want email address via a post here?
Sinky

Hi yeah just pm me with email thanks

We are looking at the possibilities of crossing myanmar overland aswell and might be interested in doing so end of 2014, early 2015.
Seen itiniraries of 9 days which include daily stretches of around 400km and that does not really appeal to us. Travelling on a Honda CT110 does not mean big distances in short times ;-)
Still, interested!

Cool a postie - love it!
Hey, have a number of people looking to cross Myanmar (Thailand to India BTW) early next year. A mix of bikes and cars but hopefully we will have a tour organised soon. Most of us also want to do the longer trip. We are interested in one tour run by Mutu. He does a 12 day trip.
Checkout the following google group:
myanmar-2015@googlegroups.com
We have heaps of info there including who we are. We have lots of new people showing interest now. If you can't view or join then contact Overland15. Liz should be able to send an invite to you.

Cheers, Rob.

Iris and Neils

We're in Kuala Lumpur right now, picking up the bikes tomorrow from the airport (flew them in from Borneo, will discribe that somewhere else on the hubb)

Turn's out that there's a minimum of 5 posts before you can send PM's , so DrRob: I'll try again to send you one, to subscribe to the googlegroup...

Hi! I have 2 other bikers with me and we plan to ride across Burma from Thailand early next year. One way ticket for us, as we will continue our ride into India, Pakistan,Iran, Turkey and Europe final destination Amsterdam, Holland.
Mighty glad if we could team up to cost share the Burma portion. I have not made any query to any agent yet.

Guys, I'm planning a Myanmar crossing for this December from India to Thailand. So far 2 riders have confirmed, maybe 4. Looking for 2 to 4 more to join us. This would be a slightly longer itinerary of 13 days and less long riding days since we'll be on Royal Enfield Bullets :cool4:

Plan to be in Moreh by Dec 1 and Mae Sot by Dec 14. We're continuing on into Laos and Cambodia :scooter:

Hi guys,

We (my wife and I in a 4x4 MAN truck camper) are looking for a group to cross Myanmar from Thailand in April / May 2015.

Please let me know, how far you are with the planning and if we could join the group.

Thanks

Guido

Hi Postie,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
I can't pm on this site for some reason.
Please send email to roostersoverland@gmail.com.
We have a couple of groups forming.
Cheers
Liz

For that matter anyone is welcome to join our google group. Just email me directly as above.
Liz

Email sent mate. Cheers :)

It seems there are a number of groups developing here with slightly different crossing times.

I'm currently forming a group to depart from the MaeSot border post around April 10th taking 9-12 days to cross.

We currently have four members and are looking for more to bring the costs down. One Land Rover and two motorbikes.

Drop me a line through this forum or with a private message if you're interested in joining our wonderful adventure!

Ben

I've tried joining the google group, and tried emailing roostersoverland@gmail.com to be added - seems to still not be working!

Can someone please add me so I can join in the conversation? my email is davidmvsmith@gmail.com

I'm looking at crossing Thailand to India, late May 2015.

New group for Myanmar crossing
 

Hi guys

I've started a new Google Group for a slightly later crossing than Liz and her gang, who are due to leave at the end of April.

We are currently a group of 2 vehicles, 7 people in total and would welcome other travellers either in 4WDs, cars or on motorbikes.

If you email me at bensout@gmail.com

i can add you to the group and we can start building the date and tour company.

It looks like Burma Senses are coming up trumps but I do have other quotes too.

Get in touch and lets make this happen,

Ben

Woman walking Myanmar
 

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!
Angela

.. GO Angela!
 

It's gonna be HOT and very humid - and growing wetter - in that region (inc the subcontinent) at that time of year Angela. Please prepare yourself.

'Athena' has wheels, therefore you have definitely come to the right forum to seek whatever help and support you might need going forward.

Best of luck with your endeavors. :thumbup1:

My respect

Keith

PS - Nice website you have there at: shewalkstheearth.com
(a shameless plug for you .. :yes:)

already contact the agent in Yangon, interested? i can email the itinerary!

cheers,
Mario
