Not sure if this is possible again but in 2008 when I wanted to do this it was not. As a tourist you couldn't register the bike in your name anymore which is necessary to get a carnet. That's why people buy an Enfield in Nepal. However be aware that buying an Enfield in Nepal is much more expensive!

Oops sorry didn't see you are Indian. Then it should not be a problem but I'm not sure how to get a carnet.

Classic overland route to Europe is India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, ... Once you are in Turkey there are two options. You can commence to Greece or Bulgary. My prefered route is Bulgary, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, England.

If you are Indian I am pretty sure you will not be able to travel through Pakistan.

It is not possible to get a CDP for an Indian bike, the RAC of India have been banned from issuing them for years. Also I think you will have problems to get a Pak visa. If your friends says they did this, why don't you ask them how ?

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.
