Hi there,

I have recently bought an old Honda Deauville & now planning to do ride to Central Asia via Europe, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, back to Iran & shipping motorbike to India/Malaysia (I am an Indian national & cant pass via Pakistan)

I am planning to start my trip in/around Sep 2022.

1. Anybody interested to join or already planning an overland trip ? If you have a car, I might not be able to keep up as I am fairly slow rider :).
2. Does anybody know how to get transit visa for Iran, Central Asian countries being an Indian national ? Can this be done on the road (applying for Turkmenistan visa while in Tehran) kind of thing ?
3. Is it possible to get into Russia from Kazakistan now ? I have heard Russian land borders are all closed at the moment.

Look forward to hearing from fellow travellers.
