Hi Mate, I will be interested to see how you get on with a travelling visa for Myanmar, the last people thru as far as I know were Suzy and Simon Harbath from England, it took them months to even get a restricted visa. That was in August 2004. Best of Luck.

When you make it to the USA, I can almost certainly provide free camping, possibly a room, showers etc. Southern Colorado area, a nice place to ride. Give me a shout when you get close enough to plan.

Hi Bharadwaj...this is Kailas from kerala. All the very Best wishes for the trip. In fact, i'm also on a prelimnary prep phase for acheiving this feat. I will be highly grateful if you could explain your preparations in some detail. Especially the bottlenecks suffered for such a tour from an Indian perspective.
I'm currently planning the itinerary for the rtw. I will be going to the west and coming throught the east. And one question: You have said that Myanmar visa is pending. Are Indians able to cross the Imphal border into Myanmar? I heard the border is closed now..Please enlighten ...Thank yu

P.S this is my first post to HUBB.Hope I'll also transform my horizons unlimited

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.
