Its possible
Hi There,
Its very expensive to get the required permits for china when we checked the best we could get was $150US/day. That was because we needed to have a special guide with us throughout the entire section in china.. Due to the costs we decided against it and followed the boarder up from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia and onwards to Japan then we put the bikes on a ferry and sat on the beaches in Sydney before returning to Brisbane to pickup the bikes and continue our trip.
The easy choices are:
Turkey -> Iran -> Pakistan -> India -> Malaysia -> Singapore/Indnonesia -> Australia
Turkey/Ukraine/Belarus/Scandinavia -> Russia -> Kazakhstan -> Krygyzstan -> China -> Pakistan -> India
Russia -> Kazakhstan -> Krygyzstan -> Kazakhstan -> Russia -> Mongolia -> Russia -> Japan -> Australia (very easy)
There are numerous other routes but these seem to be the most popular... The iran route seems to be the most popular by far.. we did the last one in 2009 taking 6 months and had a blast.
