Kathmandu to Istanbul on a 150cc Indian Honda Unicorn
I have been living in Kathmandu for the last 3 years and I am ready to leave the country next year. The ultimate way home would be to take my trusty ol' 150cc Honda Unicorn (yes they named it a Unicorn, but it's not as bad as the Hero Honda Hunk). Thinking it will be much more reliable and getting parts for it mid-route would probably be easier. I have seen the same bike in Turkey and I think it was called a 150CBF or something.
I am also in no rush to get back home, so the bike will do around 130km/h and have great milage (think it's 60km pr liter, but I might be wrong).
I am planning to drive down to Mumbai, catch a ferry over to Iran and then make my way towards Turkey.
Is it possible to get an IDL with a Nepalese drivers licence? Will my little unicorn stand a chance?
I am looking for any information I can get. Searches didn't yield anything useful and I am not able to pm people who seem to have some knowledge until I post some threads. So this is me getting my finger out and researching my next adventure.
My hopes were to drive all the way home to Norway, but I am not sure how much that will cost me in import tax.
Any feedback is highly apreciated.
