How to: Overland Myanmar + video
 

Dear Hubb'ers

Thought I'd share the great experience we've just had crossing Myanmar from Thailand to India with Burma Senses.

I've written a blog post all about it on our Best Life in the World website which you can find here.

Managed to find time to edit a quick video of the trip too which is here.

If you need any further advice feel free to ask!

Now book a trip and do it :)

Thanks for posting this information and great video! Can't wait to go there!

Does that mean that you have to take a guide? I was looking at crossing into Myanmar from China at Muse. Then riding to Kolkata, possibly via Mandalay and Bangladesh or along the top via Myitkyina into Assam. I thought the northern route would be more scenic.

You crossed into Myanmar and left to India. How easy were the border crossings?
Was there lots of paperwork involved?

Great video! Looks like a wonderful fun country to visit!

Hi Goandays,

Not sure how easy the entry into the country would be via the northern Chinese route having not experienced it.

There was significant paperwork to do on the way in through Thailand which was handled by our guide, including issuing of our Myanmar registration plate etc.

exiting the country at Moreh wouldn't have been possible I doubt if we didn't have the officials there. It was a document-heavy departure!

Best of luck though, you'll love it!

Great report and video. Well done, Ben!bier
