London to India on 4X4
 

Hi,
I am new to this forum and I'm in the early stages of planning an overland trip from London to Kolkata.
I hope to travel through Europe, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Central Asian Stans, China, and Nepal before entering India.
Can I get your suggestion re which vehicle would be ideal?
I have Toyota Landcruiser in mind.
Many thanks

Welcome to HU!
For a trip like that, the Toy will work well, assuming you have the appropriate budget. Lots of other vehicles will work well too. Are you planning on leaving it in India? Or driving it back? Read up on Carnets - do a search here, and you'll find lots of very important info.
Be sure to do lots of browsing around here there is a load of information in many categories.

Welcome!

Enjoy the stage of planning, take your time for find the vehicle/gear who is a perfect fit!

Locking back the most important stuff is always the trip itself, not what you did use for it. So dont overrate vehicle, brand, gear.

Surfy

Many thanks for your advice. I shall do more browsing and certainly look up Carnets. I am hoping to ship the vehicle from India back to the U.K.

Thanks a lot

Remember to bear in mind the cost of a Carnet including India can be 200% of your vehicles value. A factor many overlook.
