Dubai to India by ship

Hi,
am Austrian and planning a trip from Austria to India overland starting this summer/autumn,

Just in case the security situation doesn't allow to travel through Pakistan then during this time i am just thinking about other options and can remember that i have heard or read somewhere that there are also ships/dhows or vessels leaving from dubai going to Mumbai in India in about 6 days...
no idea whether this is still valid, has anyone of you heard about this as well and do these ships really also take passengers with them?

Many thanks, Georg.

Hi

I am rather sure, that there is no ferry service from Dubai to India for traveling. However, if you take a flight to Lahore city in Pakistan which is close to India Border (just 30 k.m). You can continue your overland travel to India. Because there is one International Bus service from Lahore to Delhi via Wagha Border. I also had took this journey from Lahore to Delhi by bus (12-hours).

cheers.
