planning a trip ..amsterdam to india
 

advise and info on such a trip would be appreciated..... this will be a winter trip...nov..... trip is via...UK, AMSTERDAM, TURKEY, IRAN, PAKISTAN, INDIA.

hi,

first of all wish you a good ride. dont take too much stuff with you, try to arrange visas before you leave, europa is expensive try to leave europa as quick as you can, no need camping turkiye as the accomodation is cheap, prepare your bike.
and dont forget to drop me a line before you arrive to istanbul.

enjoy

I am myself leaving on a trip from Sweden to Thailand during this week and what I have experienced so far is do the visas in good time before the trip, not so easy to get visa to Pakistan and Iran takes quite some time.

Crossing Pakistan
 

Sounds like a fabulous plan. Before entering Pakistan drop a line to me or Pakistan Bikers Club. We will be more than glad to help you and show you the best kept secret of the modern world; The Incomparable Pakistan.
You can also contact Kabul Bikers and different Indian Bikers associations which can make your trip easier and much more fun.

Hi Pete and Caf,
Got your private message which I cant reply due to insufficent posts. You are most welcome in Pakistan and October might be the best time here.
Have a safe and enjoyable journey.
Regards

In Amsterdam, Going same way to Pakistan/India and further
 

Biffo,

Just saw your note saying UK, Amsterdam, Iran, India, and I am just applying for my Iran visa which i hope to pick up next week in london. I have no set departure date, but my rent is only paid up till October just by Schipl airport Amsterdam.

It would be great to know someone else on the road in the same direction, I was not planning on doing to much in Europe so catch up/slow down possible with a meet up in cappadocia turkey ?

Riding a BMW F650 GS dakar, with TT39 tank modification, and TT panniers which are too big and took a battering in Mali.

Sander,

I have just come across the pakistan visa, which appears to have changed since i last looked for the UK, (or maybe i just didn't read it correctly).

Pakistan need a Sponsor for the visa application as well as hotels, how did you go about this ?

Did you use a visa service ? or just go to the embassy in Amstertam ?.

Andy.
