Day 5: Applying for Iran Visa in Germany
Indian Hospitality in Germany
We finished our breakfast, got all the paperwork ready and left for Iranian Embassy. It was a 10-15 minute drive. We reached and approached a counselor, we passed them our approval codes and to our surprise they replied that they have not received confirmation on any of our approval codes. They told us that nothing can be done unless they receive the confirmation and they were going to close as their work hours are only till 1200 hrs.

Day 6: Road Trip from Germany to Switzerland
Wildkirchi, Switzerland
Woke up with the excitement of getting our hands on our Iranian visa finally. Quickly enjoyed our breakfast, put our stuff back in the car and left for the Iranian Embassy. Upon arrival our eyes were searching for that familiar face who had helped us a lot yesterday. There he was on his counter, the smile he gave us as he saw us approaching widened our smiles further.
He gave us the good news that visa has been approved and now we need to go get the money order to pay for the visa expenses. There was a bank outside that issued them, so without wasting any time we were there in a jiffy… [Read More]

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 🙂
Akhil
