Roadtrip – London 2 Jammu
Day 37: Car Fixed. Left for Turkmenistan Border. Spent Night in No Mans Land
Thanks to Father-Son duo (he is brother of my friends (brother from another mother) friend from Uzbelistan) and offcourse the amazing mechanic (more of a machinist) without whom car would had stayed back in Uzbekistan… [Coming Soon]
Day 38: Entered Turkmenistan. Fixed Car and left for Mary, Turkmenistan
Finally around 8-9 AM, Turkmenistan let us in and we were back among SUV’s and Diesel. Getting out of customs took some time but everyone has been cordial and warm with us. I could feel Dhanno crying out loud for a much needed service but we were not sure where to get it done… [Coming Soon]
This is such a great idea 🙂 I’ve heard of bicycle tours, people who hitchhike and of course people who road trip within a country, but driving on such a vast scale and for such a good cause I have not heard of before! Kutos to you, and thanks for inspiring me to keep going on my own journey
Thank you Zoe for your kind words. It was indeed an amazing adventure and thank god we did it. Wishing you the very best for your journey as well 🙂
Akhil & aarti please you can give technicla inputs of how to get permission for entring a vehicle ( indain Origin ) in the various countries where you had travelled through .
Hi Shoeb,
It would actually depend on which country/ies you wish to enter?
1. Many countries accept “Carnet-De-Passage”, it is a visa kinda document for vehicles.
2. China has its own mechanism and charges heavy duty on vehicles entering China, they wont even recognize international license.
3. You are free to cross borders within Europe provided you have valid motor insurance.
Let us know if you have any other questions 🙂
