I hope to set up guided trip this year, would like to share with others.
we will be 2 up on a motorcycle, so have no space for guide to sit.


travel West - Zahedan to Bazagan (Turkey) is route.
Arrive in Iran 1st October for approximately 2 weeks in Iran.

Cities to visit.
Would like travel agent advice on places to visit, everything we can do in 2 weeks.To include:-
Shiraz Carpet Bizzar.
Ishfan Temples.
Terhan, short visit perhaps 2 days.
Caspien sea cost, bit relax.
Mountains, deserts & Bizzar.

contact me here. or travel agent.
Joe.

If we can get a china crossing sorted (not looking good at the moment though :-( ) we might be interested.
Would you consider extending to 3 weeks ?
Are you ok if 4x4 join you or would you prefer bikes only? We have space for the guide.
Any ballpark figure on cost?

Thanks!

travel agent says US$180/day. + 3 days to get to border.
at that price 2wks is a bit of cash.

Cheers Joe. We're out i'm afraid.
China looks like it's going to work, so we'll be coming in from Turkmenistan rather than zahedan.
Hope it all goes well!
Helen

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.
