Delhi to London Bus Trip – 20k kms, 70 days & 18 countries!

by travelmynation
Worlds longest bus journey

It is probably the wackiest idea put into action but in 2021 this will be a reality. In the 1960s the longest bus route in the world was a staggering 32,669 kilometers that went from Calcutta to London! The trip took you across 11 countries (at that time) in a double-decker bus nicknamed ‘Albert’. The journey set you back by 145 pounds that would now be approximately 2,000 pounds! But now the trending one is the recent Delhi to London bus trip!

And now a Gurugram based company, Adventures Overland is offering the same service! You can embark on a Delhi to London bus journey that will span across 70 days, covering 20,000 kilometers. And all this is set to take place in May 2021! And yes, it’s pretty expensive but you will get to zip through 18 countries on the way! The bus you get to travel in will be a highly customized luxury bus offering all creature comforts and facilities.

Route for the Delhi to London Bus trip

This epic journey has been broken down into 4 stages that go through 18 countries and 2 continents. So you know you will have plenty to see, lots of food to try and people to meet!

Stage 1 - South East Asia (11 nights and 12 days)

The starting point of the bus tour is in Delhi from where it nudges towards popular Indian cities of Lucknow, Muzaffarpur, Siliguri, Guwahati, Kohima, and finally Imphal. This marks the end of the India tour and then the bus proceeds towards Myanmmar.

Crossing the border into Myanmar you will get to explore destinations like Kale, Bagan, Yangon, and Kyaikto on the way. Explore the local cuisine and click pics of the gorgeous pagodas around the country as you get mesmerized by the beautiful landscapes of Myanmar. From Myanmar, the bus then moves into Thailand where you will get pit stops in places like Tak and Bangkok.

Stage 2 - China (15 nights and 16 days)

After enjoying Bangkok, you bid adieu to Thailand and head towards Laos for a short stop at Luang Namtha. It’s an overnight stay so you won’t be able to see much. But the next 14 days in China will ensure you get tons of sight-seeing done in places like Chengdu, Ruoergai, Xining, Jiayuguan, Dunhuang, Hami, Turpan, Kuerle, Aksu and Kashgar.

Surprisingly, the most time spent in China will be in Kashgar which is an oasis city in Western China. This leg promises to be really exciting as you get the opportunity to come up close with Pandas in Chengdu, visit the Magao Caves, and see the massive Gobi Desert.

Stage 3 - Central Asia (21 night and 22 days)

Wow, that’s a long one but much needed since you drive through the humungous Russian country, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. Stage 3 starts with the ancient city of Bishkek where you get to experience the central Asian bazaars, local cuisines, and reminiscent of the age-old spice business.

Drive through the gorgeous city of Tashkent and explore Samarkand, which is known for its cuisine! After covering these smaller nations, you enter Russia, the largest country on the planet. India is said to be approximately 19% of the size of Russia!

Stage 4 - Europe (15 nights and 16 days)

This the final leg of the journey before you head back the same way you came from! It begins with the beautiful Baltic nations of Latvia and Lithuania. There were both parts of the Russian empire and broke free after World War I.

It would be a great experience with a partner but it is expensive as it averages out to $250 per day, one can do a super luxury tour for that kind of money.
