Yes the trip was fun, but we were lucky!
Three weeks after our picture was taken, 28 people were killed were I was lying under the wing.
But back to the routing, also talking to the aviation department in Teheran and receiving many positive signals we were not able to receive a permit to cross Iran.
That way our routing was:
VNPK Pokhara, Nepal
VNKT Katmandu, Nepal
VILK Luknow, India
VABP Bhopal, India
VAAH Ahmadabad, India
OPKC Karachi, Pakistan
OOMS Muscat, Oman
OMAD Abu Dhabi, UAE
OERK Riad, Saudi Arabia
OEHL Hail, Saudi Arabia
OJAQ Aqaba, Jordan
LCPH Paphos, Cyprus
LGRP Rhodos, Greece
LGKR Kerkyra, Greece
LIDR Ravena, Italy
EDMW Deggendorf, Germany
EDKD Altena-Hegenscheid, Germany
EDKA Aachen, Germany
The last stops in Germany were just for meeting friends and family
We flew about 5600nm in a little over 50h flight time. Due to the head wind and to use orographic wind the altitude enroute varied between 50ft and FL90.
