Himalaya - Carnet de Passage En Douane



My motorcycle's passport
Today we get our Carnet from AAM, with these documents, we will be able to explore Nepal, India and Pakistan and the rest of the horizon.
This is my motorcycle passport as well, it requires custom stamps whenever you enter and exit the country.
Carnet is an important shipping document, whether by sea or air. When we place the booking on the air cargo from Bangkok to Kathmandu, we have to produce this document in order for Thai Airway to accept our booking

RM500.00 for the processing fee
AAM only charged me for the above fee, is that all? That is so reasonable for a 1 year duration, but with 1 condition, you will have to become a member of AAM (RM100.00 yearly).
The beautiful part is that i will still get back my Bank Guarantee or cash deposit (whichever i prefer) from AAM when i complete the Himalaya Xplorider . Of course I must get the custom stamps of all the countries i have visited exactly like my Malaysian Passport.


International Driving License (RM150.00 yearly)
Well, to be on the safe side, we need an International License when we are travelling by motorcycle or vehicle abroad. Hey, that's inclusive of our neighbour country like Thailand, but .... you know, many of us are taking things for granted.
