Burma's been closed for a couple of decades or so. Although there is some fiant hope recently that they have begun starting to normalize relations with the rest of the world.

Hey look, it´s the weekly "can I go to Burma" thread...
Probably less than 5 succesful trips thru the whole country reported in the past decade. They seriously don´t want you there with your vehicle. Plus you´d have problems to even get near the border in India, as those are sensitive areas. So the simple answer is still no, just like a week ago.

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.
