Shipping XRV750 from Uk to India

Hello Biking Family

After many years of dreaming, it's TIME! Yes, I am mad enough to want to take my trusty Africa Twin over to India for a 6 month jaunt. I know, I know, I've lived and travelled in India over a 20year period so I guess I am (almost) prepared for the grief that is only to expected in such an undertaking. However, the prospect of hot sweet tea as the sun rises over the Himalayas with a decent trail bike between my legs can't go unrequited much longer.

So - question - who of you has already done UK to India and can you give me any pointers on how to go about it and with whom?

OR

Maybe you have shipped India to UK, in which case you may know decent clearance agents or transport co's in India??? There must be some, just connecting with the right ones...

Thanks for your feedback.

Nepal is an option for you?

I haven't done it but looking around in here in the past, a lot of posts indicate that there is less hassle by shipping via Kathmandu, Nepal compared with the big cities of India.
Probably less bureaucracy and less buckshee.

I have just returned to UK from a short visit to Nepal, on foot only because of circumstances, and I found all of the people to be very friendly and helpful; there are posts in the HUBB that recommend particular shippers, but I don't know, not having done that, so far.

here by the way.

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.
