Turkey to India via Iran & Pakistan
 
Hi all.
I'm from the UK and am looking at riding through Turkey and into Iran. I'd then like to ride down to the border with Pakistan and cross Pakistan into India. Does anyone know if this is feasible at the moment?
Thanks in advance.

Totally feasible, did it myself daily recently.

Depending on your citizenship/passport (i.e. British) you may need guide in Iran.

Easier to get Iranian visa through agent, do not apply direct.

I came from Turkey via Kurdistan then Iran, quieter/faster border.

There are others doing this now, search for posts here and on FB.

Note that to enter India from Pakistan you will need a paper visa - the e-visa doesn't allow land entry. Information on this is inadequate and conflicting, however after a fair amount of research this is my understanding. You will need to get the visa in your country of residence.

Second this! Do not count on getting an India visa in Islamabad.

Hi David
Could you share your routing?
I’m USA passport, but my motorcycle is in the UK, the 70k mile long way from Texas USA. (USA passport).

I’m looking at UK to India next spring/summer. Then?

Thanks

So you guys are saying that U.K. passport holders can get entry in to Iran.
I thought this wasn’t possible so had been looking at Iraq instead.

You can enter Iran, you just need a fully escorted tour package.

Iraq has no such restriction, but doesn't help in getting to India.

You are unlikely to be able to to it following my routing. Iran tends to be a little restrictive with US passport holders.
