Hi Thierry!
Yes I know, the guided tour costs are astronomical, yet having said this the border permit costs themselves are also quite substantial. A crossing of China is not yet ‘cheap’ by any means, but at least one can save on the cost of guide after Xinjinag.
@ Yokesman...which site are you referring to?
Have a look at my latest blog, Ricard’s contact details are at the end  Click here
I should have perhaps detailed the fact that China Tierra de Aventura does not yet advertise this service and this is why I took on the task to outline as much as possible and share as much info as I can, to save them having to answer all the repetitive emails. Hopefully, by the time my second post is done, most overlanders will just contact him for a quote...knowing all the requirements involved.
Anyway, I’ll try and get Part 2 posted today! Cheerio to all
