Dreams of turn the world but you are afraid to fly? Now you can. And have the most incredible travel experience of your life.
In this article:
That's right: it is not necessary to take a plane (although, as an experience, we recommend it). Today you can travel in around the planet also in cruise, in train or in coach. You can take advantage of an organized trip, or do it yourself. Either way it will be incredible and will carve indelible memories in the heart.
The best bonuses
If it is the idea of the bus that tempts you, you can take a peek at Bus to London, the tour operator's new travel proposal Adventure Overland. The departure of the round-the-world bus tour is set for next May, from New Delhi. Instead, the arrival will be in London, after a total of 20 thousand kilometers in 70 days. Eighteen countries were touched upon, with stops in Moscow, Vilnius, Prague, Brussels, Frankfurt and the ancient Uzbek cities (to name but a few stops).
But what does it mean to travel the world by bus? Let's find out together.
Around the world by bus: the journey
Bus to London is a "customizable" trip. You can take it in its entirety or you can hop on and off at any of the stops of your choice located between India and England. In addition, it includes a Caspian Sea cruise before arriving in China to explore the Gobi Desert, climb the Great Wall of China, meet giant pandas in Chengdu, and then take the Silk Road.
In more detail, these are the countries touched by the world bus tour:
- India
- Myanmar
- Thailand
- Laos
- China
- Kyrgyzstan
- Uzbekistan
- Kazakhstan
- Russia
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Poland
- Czech Republic
- Germany
- Netherlands
- Belgium
- France
- United Kingdom
A departure date, in truth, as of today is not there. The website reads "May 2021," but it will be the progress of the pandemic that will determine how and when the trip will take place.
"Every route in each country is designed to ensure safe travel. We take care of documentation and permits to ensure that the participants' entire focus is on the experience. We ensure our clients have an experienced, English-speaking local guide who will travel with the group the entire time," Sanjay Madan and Tushar Agarwal, founders of Adventure Overland, explained to the Mirror. .
The bus was customized to meet all the needs, comforts and amenities for such a long trip. "Providing a niche and classy experience in a safe environment is our top priority. The route of this trip is tried and tested: we have already made three trips from India to London on the same route, so that participants can board with the knowledge and confidence that they are in good hands," the organizers emphasize.
How to get to Delhi ? By flying or by train
To travel the world by bus taking advantage of the Overland Adventure program, you must reach Delhi, the starting city of the tour. You will, therefore, have to take a flight.
But if you really don't want to fly, if the fear is too great or you prefer to savor the rhythms of slow tourism (having the time), you can always choose the train. There is in fact the possibility of making a incredible overland starting from London or one of the next stops, to be reached perhaps by car: Brussels, Paris, Vienna, Munich (there are in fact two itineraries and they cross in Istanbul). Of course, one has to put in more than 15 days of travel time. But at least you will stay firmly on the ground!
