Update
Hi guys,
I just emailed an updated spreadsheet with everyone's details from this thread. If you haven't provided your email addresses already, or if this thread is new to you & you'd like to keep in touch with other Stan travellers: send me an email and I'll update the spreadsheet and post it out to everyone.
My contact details can be found on my website: Panomoto *** Pan-Continental Motorcycle Journey
(Please note: I'm busy enough doing all the visas & other travel planning, but I'll try my best to send out updated spreadsheets as good as possible until my departure in 3-4 weeks).
Bjorn

On our way to London
Hi Paul,
Me and a mate are shipping to Nepal on this Friday. Looking at our options once we enter Pakistan. Want to do the Karakorum highway and see what the costs are to get round to Kyrgyztan via China or now possibly airfreight from Islammabad to Bishtek.
Plan B is back around the south to Iran and through to Turkey.
Will keep track and look forward to seeing everyone on the road.

I am in India at the moment. I'll start towards Pakistan in about two weeks. I'll do a big circle through Iran to avoid Afghanistan and then Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey and finally Greece. So, I will be at the 'stans during the summer. CU on the road!

I'm in Dushanbe, Tajikistanm now.
The odometer has passed the 10.000km mark.
Am leaving tomorrow to go to the Pamirs .. hope the roads aren't too bad.
From there North to Sary Tash, Kyrgyztan and then East to Kashgar, China.
Still some 5K to go to Nepal ..
The 'stans are unlike any other place I've ever been. Not the easiest places to visit/travel, but worth all the effort and visa hassles ..
Ride safe & CU on the road.

Turkmenistan embassy in London
Just to let know that our experience, contrary to earlier reports, was that the Turkmenistan embassy in London was very accommodating for a transit visa. Guy named Ata was great. Unfortunately, I think our collective experience in this group just goes to show that embassies and civil servants are completely random. M

Hi everyone, I'm going from London to Kazakhstan via Ukraine and Russia, on Yamaha XT660R, leaving July 19 and hoping to get back for mid September. Am I too late to get onto the 'Stans' mailing list/spreadsheet!?
Would be good to know if anyone else is going to be roaming the Kazakh steppes in August...
cheers
Abe

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. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
