Enough Time? Russia-Indonesia Return With 6M Carnet

Hello HU members,
I'm leaving on a trip to Russia/Asia this June and because of my carnet expiry date I'm tight for time, do you think my route/schedule is possible?

Departing Date 01 June 2016
Carnet expires December 31 2016

7 months to get to Indonesia and back into Europe where carnets are not needed.

Note: I have a carnet with the RAC and it can not be extended because they have stopped issuing carnets.

Any questions please just ask!

Time wise schedule is with grate reserve. Only few comments to route plan- there is no direct boarder crossing between Mongolia and Kazakstan, and between Tajikistan and India.

I knew from Mongolia to Kazakhstan I will be passing into Russia briefly yes?

From Tajikistan into India you need to pass though Pakistan ? Or is there any border crossing ?

And not between Thailand and Indonesia. TS obviously need to have a closer look at maps.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
