We already know that one group is going to cross in October but it will be so early for us that's why we try to find more people to cross and make a new group. We are now in Delhi and we also want to visit Nepal. We don t have any plan in Myanmar but we want to visit it. We just want to reach Thailand, the place where we want to live without taking a ferry.

News about Myanmar 2014 from India to Thailand

After working on it some time, we finally found an agency who offer us to cross Myanmar on Dicember of 2014 during 12 days for 1200$ per person.

We are now 9 persons in that group. If we find more people to cross at the same time, the price will be cheaper for everybody.

If somebody need more information, let's contact us!

We are going to meet up 15 th Nov in tamu, border town in myanmar with our tour guide, necessary support vehicle and tour guide...
price depends on participants... at the moment we are 3 people…
Everything is properly arranged and up to full standard.
We will be staying in standard but not luxury accomodation.

We are well travelled, fun and adventurous!

Let us know if timing suit and we shall give you exact price figures in next few days. In any case it will be far cheaper than all other competitors as we have good connections to our local tour operator.

Visa

Im interested in crossing Myanmar from India, to Thailand, in that dates. Currently in Moscow, riding around the globe in a motorcycle (KTM990).
But before I even get there, I need to know if the Visa for Iran is easy to get. An how long it takes. I´m planning on visiting the Iranian Consulate somewhere in Turkey.
Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks!
Martin

To Rainbow

Hello Rainbow!

We didn't spoke about getting the Visa but we already add you in the group and send you all the information about crossing Myanmar in November.

We already went to the embassy of Myanmar and you have to apply from monday to friday between 10.00 and 11.00 only.
It's seems to be quite easy to get it: fill the form, 2 fotographs, flight booking -a fake one- and in 2-3 days you will get it. Also don't tell that you are going by land otherwise they will ask you a lot of documents more and you will probably never get it...

We hope to get some news from you !
