Itinerary
Hi Nixa,
We're 2 people, both going on BMW F650s (Dakar). I'm going to do Europe on my own and then meet up with my travel buddy in Turkey – around end of June probably, then do Iran for about 2-3 weeks before we hit the stans.
I've just finished the first half of the Stans travel plans:
- Turkmenistan 5 days (Ashgabat, gas crater, Kunya-Urgench)
- Uzbekistan around 2 1/2 weeks (Nukus, Muynak for the Aral Sea, back to Nukus, Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand)
- Tajikistan around 3 weeks (no definite route yet, but would like to go via the Wakhan corridor)
- Kyrgyzstan around 2 weeks
- China via Kashgar to KKH around 5-7 days
It's gonna be stinkin' hot most of the time, but I guess we'll just have to get up with the sun, get a coffee & muesli bar and then straight into the saddle... trying to avoid most of the afternoon heat.
Maybe we'll meet somewhere on the road, or could share the guide costs for China. I'm in touch with another 2-3 people who might(!) consider China/Kashgar.
I think we could get 5-7 days in China including all the paperwork down to around $600-800 dollars each, depending on how many people we are.
Bjorn
