So which route are you going to take? Burma?? You can't actually go overland from India to SE Asia unless you go via China which I understand can be pretty expensive. I had to fly my bike from Bangkok to Kathmandu.

If you want to stick to your plan going "overland", you will be faced with the almost impossible task of getting your vehicle to Burma. Put simply, that won´t happen.
Or, you have the possibility to go to China, which will put the Himalayas or other considerable natural barriers on your way, especially wintertime. And also Chinese bureaucracy, miles and miles of red tape, which based on what Ive read mostly on this site, seems to be negotiable, somehow, but by no means easy. Or cheap. Or quick. Very troublesome, expensive, and time-consuming. But possible.
These, plus the almost total absence of passenger ferries in the region, are the reasons why most people freight their vehicles across the Bay of Bengal.

We went through Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan, but the cost is really prohibitive. However, if you are one of the many Indian millionaires then try contacting transhimalaya.com. They were very good and efficient.

Are you sure that is the right URL?
When I try to access, transhimalaya.com is not operating (URL is for sale).
Please correct the URL if you made a typing error.

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.
