Why travelling in group?

Hi friends,

I'm wondering why you want/need to travel in group in Myanmar? And why do you need a guide? I have been travelling in Myanmar for 1 month by bicycle in 2003 and again in 2006 without any guide or agency.

Now I'm planning about riding from Cambodia to Nepal in 2015 or 2016 (by motorbike) going through Thailand, Myanmar and India. So, I'm interested to know about getting visa and crossing borders between Thailand/Myanmar and Myanmar/India. I don't want to travel with a guide in Myanmar at all. It would be great if people here could share their experiences.

Thanks much!
Freddy

Hi

By motorbike you need a guide, a travel agent, a govenement person and a driver. Costs for about 10 days by yourself are anything from 3000-10000 usd. So it's good to find others.
When in 2015 are you going...? We might be planning something.
You also need a permit to go to that province in India via motorbike, then burma you need the four people and you can only exit into thailand, not laos.

cheers

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.
