Escaping India
 
After doing some looking around it appears that india is the hardest place to just ride out of on a motorcycle. Almost impossible to go through China unless part of some big tour group. The only advice about Burma is to go around, and last time i checked Pakistan to Iran is in the middle of 2 countries currently at war with the U.S. I would really like to head south to Austrailia, but that means going through Burma. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Search and thou shall find as well.
 
a) Forget burma. It has always been considered as impossible, now even harder. Search the HUBB and you will find.
b) China is expensive, but possible. Search and thou shall find as well.
c) Pakistan should still be possible. (it obviously is: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...o-please-35125)
d) Iran is definitly no problem, unless you are american or female (sorry girls)

I personally have gone from Europe to India last August till November, and Pakistan was no problem beside the crappy roads. (not worse than india) But I have left Pakistan even before the state of emergency, but have been told by Private Message, that even during the state of emergency, it was no problem. (in baluchistan)

If you ask me, Pakistan is reasonably safe, as long as you stay away from the big cities.

About getting to Oz, I took the plane from Mumbai to Sydney. Can provide all details if interested. (To lazy to type the whole story right now.)

If you provide us with a bit more information, I can of course answer your questions a bit more detailed. (Your nationality, your bike, carnet, visas, how are getting to india, why you think its funny to put as your current location baghdad...)

I flew the bike from Chennai (aka Madras) to KL. See report at www.planitearth.co.uk - UK to Australia 2007 - Home Page then click on 'planning' then on 'trip transport' for details...
