You can visit either during winters when the landscapes is covered in crisp white snow, or during summers when the warm light of the sun illuminates the vast tracts of forests and striking blue lakes.
If driving to nearby countries is subtle for you, why not go all the way to Turkey and experience a different culture altogether! If you decide to drive further from Italy, and you must! If you wish to add a tad bit of romance to your road trip from India to Europe, then you can simply ride on to France. To make this international road trip from India even more rocking, you can go on to United Kingdom from France, either via a ferry from Port de Calais with drive in drive out facility, or through the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle that was specially made to transport vehicles across the two countries.
Not into modern cosmopolitans? We got you covered. Take a detour to Czech Republic and be transferred back in time as you set foot amidst its historical towns, buildings with an ancient architecture, and its medieval looking landscapes.
You can either drive through the earlier mentioned route, or you can go through Russia, depending on which type of cultures you wish to experience on the way. The unbelievably elegant architecture of the mosques, mausoleums, fortresses and palaces lying hidden in the ancient cities of this erstwhile gem of the Silk Road will make your jaw drop. So stop thinking, and go! And if you know of any more international road trips from India that one can take, pop them in the comments below.

Yes, you can take a road trip from India to Singapore provided you have the required travel documents with you. The road distance between India to Singapore is around kilometres, and one can reach there in about 96 hours exclusive of rest time. You will also need a permit for your car so that you can be allowed to drive on international roads. Though hectic and extensive, a road trip from India to London is totally possible.
See how these three women traveled from Delhi to London by road and take tips on how to plan yours. Yes, Indian nationals are allowed to travel to Nepal in their personal vehicles with an Indian driving license.
However, you do need to acquire a permit at the border of Nepal to be able to enter the territory. In order to travel to America, one needs to carry the following documents to their visa interview: 1. Your valid passport and your old passports, if any 2.
These are just theories put forward based on observations and statistics. They have not been proven in any significant way. India has recently become a hub for motorbike and scooter manufacturers.
The bike culture is quite strong with people from all walks of life using motorcycles. Cities like Pune are littered with motorbikes and scooters, from cc commuter bikes to full-blown American cruisers. The problem is that Indians drive cars the same way they would ride a bike. For example, a person on a bike can change lanes with ease, fit into small gaps in traffic, and park almost anywhere. When driving a car, this mentality means chaos. Indians routinely turn a single lane road into multiple lanes leaving no space for emergency vehicles or even room to breathe.
We also tend to jack-knife through traffic and constantly cut into any lane we feel might be going faster than the one we are in. There is a correlation between a higher concentration of bike ownership and driving poorly. Based on a survey by CityLab , European countries like Italy and Greece have a higher number of two-wheelers per household and are also known for driving worse than their neighbours.
Similarly, Thailand, Indonesia, China, and India all have a high percentage of two-wheelers in use and these countries have significantly more road fatalities than Japan or South Korea. This theory has a basis in the above one. Having ridden around on a few bikes and scooters, I can honestly say that it is painful to stop for a long period of time at a large junction.
Slowing down on a two-wheeler possesses it share of risks as well due to the inherent lack of balance in these vehicles. This is where the momentum theory comes in. If you have any more feedback, please please let me know! It was later reported by the same correspondent in early October that the Pakistani consulate in Birmingham also refused a visa on those grounds, but that the Bradford Pakistani consulate had no problem issuing a visa for overland travel, and he can now travel!
Also, you MUST get the Pakistan visa in your home country, before you leave, you cannot get it en route. I'd suggest planning the trip out carefully before you start to book anything, using a simple spreadsheet, so you can see which days you'll be in which place. The Istanbul-Tehran train only runs once a week, and together with the twice-monthly train which will perhaps run more frequently when the Bam-Zahedan line is completed this will probably determine the rest of your timetable.
Each leg is ticketed separately, even on the London-Istanbul section, so you can stop off wherever you like for as long as you like, be it Paris or Vienna or Budapest or Istanbul or Tehran. Where, how often, and for how long you stop off on the way is entirely your decision. Check the Foreign Office advice on Iran and Pakistan at www. Traveller Noelle Virtue reports travelled from India to Europe in March "Although we didn't have any problems in Quetta itself, we were told by a member of the police and several others that it wasn't a safe place for foreigners to be.
We left Quetta on an overnight bus to Taftan with no problems and no escort. However, once we crossed to border into Iran we were told that we needed an escort to Zahedan and that we would have to pay for a taxi to take us and the escort there as buses wouldn't take foreigners. Once we got to Zahedan we were taken to the police station where we awaited a squad car to take us to the bus station for onward travel to Kerman.
This involved changing into 3 different squad cars and showing our passports again to each police officer. The whole process from the border to Zahedan should take 1. We heard from fellow travellers that the train is still in operation between Zahedan and Quetta but that it's not a great experience and they had difficulty finding a hotel in Zahedan that would take foreigners.
They also had to be escorted everywhere in Zahedan during their stay there. It's not so much a question of 'buying a ticket to India' as an exercise in project management, arranging all the various tickets from a variety of sources and being prepared to buy some on the way as you go.
The critical administrative issue is getting an Iranian visa. See the Iran page for advice on agencies in Iran to contact for this. You'll also need to arrange visas for Pakistan and India. For Pakistan visa arrangements, see www. Turkish tourist visas can be bought when the train reaches the Turkish frontier, so this isn't a problem.
See the London to Turkey page for more advice and information on booking this journey. If they can't do the train out of Iran, you can book this at the station in Zahedan, but check that you can still get a visa without onward tickets. Trains within Pakistan and India are most easily left until your arrival in those countries, and booked at the ticket office.

Traveller Frank Sprenger rang Zahedan station to get confirmation of the train situation in August The Zahedan-Quetta train usually runs twice a month, it departed yesterday [August 3rd ] and will do so again on the 28th Iranian Calendar this should be in 15 days from now.
We where told that departure days vary a little depending on demand. But as I said, usually every two weeks. The journey time is "usually" around 30 hours. Best to phone, or have someone calling the station, a few days in advance to confirm the departure day and time.
Be careful as Hotels often get a commission from bus companies! Space should be no real problem as there are not many passengers using this train for cross border traffic, mostly Pakistani.
Accommodation for the international portion is bench seating only.
