Darwin in November - December

Hey

Darwin in December it is usually around 34deg C during the day, down to a superb 24deg during the evening.

Will most likely rain each afternoon.

Will be about 80 - 99% humidity.

November is a bit cooler.

The month or so before Nov is called the build up for the wet. Darwinites start to go crazy around that time. :)

Have fun

Homer

Yes, Your mad. And if you need any other compliments let me know :-)

Give a little more time to Iran if you can, maybe less in Europe. partly because you can spend the rest of your life on European trips as you get older (what we plan anyway), but soak up the further afield places while you can, and while your there anyway.

We loved Iran, spent about 3 weeks there 3 or 4 years ago. Scratched some of the surface. The Iranian Embassy in Dublin is one of the best ones in the world for getting your visa. No hassle. I did it in person and was amazed to see they are used to UK people flying in for the day to apply as it's so much easier than in the UK.

Hi!
Pretty much planning the same trip, starting form Switzerland beginning of June.
However still very concerned if any border will be open again then. Do you have already any information regarding this, or are you going for the plug-and-pray approach?
IF all works out, we might be interested in joining a group for the guide-required places.
Cheers!

Hi all
Looking at a similar London-Sydney trip in Spring next year. Was looking at the Iran-Pakistan-India link and wondered if anyone had up-to-date info about visas, guide, and vehicle access criteria for Iran (I'm looking at riding a GP450 or Himalayan).
Thanks in advance.

Winter time is when you do the top end (Aussie winter) you are planning to arrive smack bang in the middle of summer & like somebody said its monsoon season (or as the locals call it) "The Wet" stinking hot 100% humidity & its also cyclone season (wetter than wet) not forgetting the mozzie`s.

Mezo.

Hey Gary,

We are planning on leaving from the Netherlands this year as soon as the covid situation is better and will be doing taking the either Iran->Pakistan route or Kyrgyztan->Pakistan(crossing china). We really want to do the stans and it depends on if we find a group big enough to cross china into pakistan otherwise we will take Iran->Pakistan->India->Nepal.

We will be doing slovenia, croatia, montenegro, bosnia and albania too.

Cheers
