Overland from Sweden to Southeast Asia by public transport, no car, no limits
Route Map
33 stopsAn ongoing overland journey from Sweden to Southeast Asia, entirely by bus, no car. The route goes through Bulgaria and Turkey, then into Iraq during regional tensions. A flight to the UAE was followed by an overland crossing into Saudi Arabia; further tensions blocked the planned route to Pakistan, forcing a return to Turkey.
From Turkey the journey continues east through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan into western China — currently in Tashkurgan. The route ahead: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the borders of Australia.
