I am interested in doing it in the opposite direction. How much does it cost and is it all inclusive? Do I arrange the Visas? 

its not that easy, we need to hire a myanmar guide, i have a friend there who runs a travel agency, he is organizing all the relevant paperwork. we pay him for this service...we hire the guide for 3 weeks he comes and picks us up at the border and drops us off at the other end... there is no way  (yet) to do it without an (expensive) guide...

we are also organising the relevant permits for the indian side as it requires special permit (Naga land)

 

the route from KATH to Bang is below, we are still working on the return trip

Good idea, good luck man. I rode in India and Nepal too for many months. Great rides and roads in a different universe.

But all I know you cannot pass through Myanmar from India to Thailand.

Is it changed? I hope that!

 

Yes, you can now. Requires a special permit from the Myanmar government to crossover from Moreh to Tamu.
 

 

 

 

Wow, that is surprising! from when? It is really goood to know so i can ride my bike from Thailand to India now! thanks for the info.

and, do they give it to everyone? which route are you taking thorough Myanmar?

please give us some more information.

Thansk a lot. exciting news1

 

 

Check the details in the Lonely Planet Thorntree Myanmar forum, including a few travel blogs by those who have done it.

Having got back from Nepal yesterday, this sounds like a fantastic trip! Unfortunately I don't even get enough vacation days in a year to join the trip... maybe if I ever retire !!

Good luck with the venture.
