We are trying to find out what will be the most reasonable way to get into KKH from China. We are plannig to enter China from Kyrgystan. Since the Caravan Cafe is closed, does anyone know any other agent who organise crossing via China. We plan to do it in 3 months time. annyone interested?


Cheers,

Hi,We are 3 french people doing a long road trip this summer from India to Paris, via Pakistan, China and Khirgizistan. We plan to arrive at the Pakistani-Chinese border between the 21st of August and the 30th of August. We will then need a guide from Pundjerab pass up to the Khirgiz-Chinese border, as asked by the chinese authorities. We have received the following quote from a travel agent:If the 3 motorcycles and stay in China 5 days the cost is: 1300 USD The cost in detail is as following: 1 Permit for enter China: 50 USD
2 license plates: 30 USD *3 motorcycles = 90 USD
3 Insurance for the guest: 10 USD p/p *3= 30 USD
4 Insurance for the third person: 40 USD *3 / motorcycles = 120 USD
5 Fee for the Customs: Khoqirap Pass: 200 USD for three motorcycles
Turgart pass: 200 USD for three cycles
6 Driving License: 20 USD *3= 60 USD
7 Service for the guide: 80 USD a day * 5 days= 400 USD
8 Trance for the guide: 150 USD. ( Kashgar Khonqirap Pass and Kashgar- Irkeshitan pass).

Does anyone know a bit about the details? For instance the customs fee seems huge, and I don't know what "Trance for the guide" means... Furthermore, is there anyone willing to join us on this tour, to try and reduce the fixed costs?

Thanks a lot,
Best regards,
Samuel

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
