enfields & india border crossings?

varla · 01-06-2008, 11:51 AM

I am in the process of planning a self-supported Enfield tour starting in Oct 08.

Questions:

Is it possible to take a rented bike over the border into Nepal and/or Bangladesh or is my only option purchasing a bike? It looks like Bhutan is out of the question due to the requirement that US citizens book with a tour agency. I'm aware of the visa requirements & entry points (in addition to nuances of Indian driving - just visited Bangalore & Mumbai).
Is there an advantage to hauling a bike via train versus riding over the border(s)?
Would it be easier to pick up a bike in Delhi (v. Kolkata)?

thanks,

Michelle
