Due to conflicts in Myanmar, we could not enter Myanmar from China through Riuli-Muse route. We tried to enter Myanmar from another side. As a consequence, we visited Laos and Thailand (both these countries were not part of our original itinerary) and tried to enter Myanmar through Tachileik border. However, we could not get adequate clearance from Myanmar officials to be able to cross the border. Therefore, we did not consider it useful to spend our days at the Tachileik border without any affirmation. We decided to return back to India for Christmas and New Year celebrations with family and friends. We returned back after 7 months on the road. 

But The Lifetime Journey doesn’t end here. With our strong determination to accomplish our road journey we will be flying back to Tachileik, Myanmar on the 8th January 2017 and on the 9th January, we will once again commence our journey by road from Myanmar to Mumbai.
