Route planning - Europe to KKH
I’m planning a trip (motorcycle) from Europe to the Karakorum Highway next year, then into India/Nepal … I’m hitting a few countries in between and have the following in mind (I’m skipping most of Western Europe because I lived there for 20 years):
7 days: Get to Brindisi (ferry from Italy to Greece) from Brussels
14 days: Greece
30 days: Turkey
21 days: Syria
14 days: Jordan
7 days: Lebanon
40 days: Iran
40 days: Pakistan
This timing would have me leave May 15 from Brussels. My goal is to be off the Karakorum highway by the end of Oct, early Nov. Can I still ride it at that time of year? I imagine snow and ice will set in quickly … are the time estimates for the above countries in line with traveling leisurely? I really don’t want to rush things … I know that’s a flexible definition. What’s your opinion?
Thanks,
Kevin
