We are British so currently have to have a guide. We plan to leave the UK this summer.
Hope to hear from you

Hi Suede,
I have essentially still not yet solved this 'problem'. But, if I don't find any better option, I will plan to fly by the most economical Europe-India plane route that I can find.
However, I am interested in the possibility of a shared guide to pass through Iran.
Do you have a ballpark estimate of costs?
Do you plan to continue East, through Pakistan afterwards?
What is your planned timing?
I have planned so far:
- Leave UK 04/07/2016
- Europe & Morocco for a couple of months
- Live in Granada (Spain) for the month of October.
- November onwards I would like to ride to India, over the course of 1-2 months.
I have heard that there may be private boats travelling from Bandar Abbas (southern Iranian coast) to India. So, perhaps it is possible to arrange transport on one of these, but I assume it will only be possible to investigate this in person at the port.
Until recently I was still kind of hoping that the 'guide' situation with Iran may change in the near future. But, I haven't heard anything about it in a while. Have you heard anything more about this?
