Myanmar

Can anybody help with a contact in Myanmar re tagging on to a group from the Thai border to India early January next year. In 2015 I did a solo trip from Vladivostok to the UK through Mongolia and the Central Asian republics. The bug has bit again so I’m so I’m planning to do a trip from Asia India Pakistan Iran Turkey. Info regarding Myanmar and Iranian visas would be helpful.
Regards Robert.

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.
