Pakistan to Europe
A group of three bikers planning to travel from Lahore, Pakistan to Europe, via, Iran Turkey. The trip starts between April 2nd and April 10th. I am looking for some help with accomodation for three people and bikes in Zahedan, Yazd, Isfahan and Hamadan. The bikes are all BMW one R1150R and two G650GSs. Keep looking out for more info and shouts for help on this thread.

Pakistan to Europe 2010
Hi folks,
We have finalised the visa formalities for Europe and Turkey. Turkish embassy advised me to get a carnet for all the bikes. We go for the Iranian visa tomorrow and will keep you informed about the carnet requirements for Iran.
I am still looking out for any help for accomodation in Zahedan, Yazd, Isfehan and Hamadan.

I suggest you get yourself a guide book for accommodation. I arrived late in the evening from Turkey without one, couldn't find a cheap hotel and paid big money the first night.
I also suggest you stay clear of Zahedan (police escorts ...). Go to Bam instead and stay at Akbar's Guesthouse. N29 05.420 E58 21.747
Yazd: many people stay at the Silk Road Hotel in the centre of the old town. The only problem is that there is only room for one bike. Mine stayed outside. It's ok, but you can't leave any luggage on it. There are some petty non-Iranian criminals around, so don't walk alone in deserted streets, particularly at night.
Yes, you need a carnet for Iran and you will also use it for Turkey. See you Automobile club.
I also recommend strongly to buy third-party insurance for the bikes at the TR border. Before leaving TR go to the Automobile club in a big city and try to buy Green Card insurance for Europe. It is required and may well be checked at the next border. It should also be available at the border (e.g. Greece, but no guarantees).

Thanx Peter...
Some more queries..
1. What would be the cost of staying and eating on an average per day in Europe.
2. How much would the carnet's cost per country.
Regards
Kishor

Pakistan to Europe
Yes Tigerranch, the EU visa is done the plan is to take a ferry from Igoumenitsa (Greece) to Italy and then onto France, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy and back. If we can get visas Romania and Bulgaria while in Turkey or Europe then might come back through Romania Bulgaria Turkey. But this is no biggy.

1. Hard to say, but if cost is a concern I suggest you bring camping gear, bearing in mind it can get chilly at night in Europe.
2. Only your AA can answer that.
Happy travels.
