Route from UK to India
 

I'm sure someone has done it!


Has anyone got a map that shows a route requiring minimal (if any) offroading?
And also, what is considered a reasonable timeframe to allow for a non-rushed or hurried trip for such a journey, assuming you were going to Mumbai?
Oh, perhaps I should mention........the trip is on 2 wheels!!

Hi Chris ,
Have a look at Alex's blog here at HU Traveller Alexandros Papadopoulos's Ride Tale
He did the route in 2009/2010 and finished in Mumbai too. I think I remember him telling me the roads were great almost all through, except few parts here in India. Some parts of our highways are great offroading tracks, especially in the monsoon :).
Do give me a shout when you are in Mumbai.

I went from India flew to Krygyzstan Uzbekistan Kazakhstan Russia Finland Sweden Denmark Germany Netherlands Belgium France Uk. Skipped China due to cost otherwise had planned India Nepal China Krygyzstan .....

Except for a strech of 220 kms Road in UZ all roads were ok. I was riding Enfield Indian make 1994 350 cc.

Although this is very sad news, it could be worth noting for overlanders planning routes to/from India...

Starting off with Gordon May's route wouldn't be a bad idea Route As far as I know he did zero off roading.
