Holland Mongolië China Thailand 2016

Hi everybody
I'm totally new here and maybe a bit early but I want to give it a try.
Next april we are leaving for our next trip, now to China and further.
We are already in contact with NAVO tours in China. They will be able to arrange our trip, permits and guide over there. As we want to go for a longer trip including Tibet we will be staying in China for about 40 days.
This turns out te be quite expensive so we are looking for other cars to make a group.
We will be travelling through turkey Georgia Armenia, Iran, the Stans, Mongolië, China and further.
Enter China september or october. This way the rairy season will be over when entering Laos and Cambodja.
We live in the Netherlands, drive a small 5 ton Iveco Daily truck and have been traveling for many years.
It would be nice to get to know other travelers with the same idees!

It would be great to have some more travellers along!

Hi jasalulu,
Because of the Earthquake early this year there is no border open for cars, so it will be impossible to drive from China to Nepal. They say it will take some time to rebuild, hopefully in 2017.
Please send a Pm If you still want to to make the trip.

UK to Thailand 2014

Hi everybody,

If I can help with any info about your trip, I would love to, My wife and I made a trip from UK to Thailand last year in a Mercedes 814D over a period of 5 months 28 countries it was amazing,we are still in Thailand and are just about to start a short trip to Laos starting tomorrow, we have traveled extensively in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia and have found that no two border crossing's have the same rules.

our web site's are Plodd - A Trip of a Lifetime and www.overlandersthailand.

Hope you get some interesting info from both sites

Dave

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.
