Sergio do you have prices you expect? Can you get a quote for comparison? I have been told by a few of the travel agents that quoted that we need to lock in the trip very soon to give them enough time to process documents.

If you are genuinely interested please let me know. I have already put down a deposit with RideChina but they will refund if the trip doesn't happen with them.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Sergio

Seems like the common way to go.
Do you mind sharing the travel agent contact you mentioned that you think can do cheaper quote so we can contact them.

Cheers

Hey sorry for the slow reply hard to get wifi when we are on the road. We have a group of 3 vehicles going with NAVO tours 21 day tour leaving Laos on 25th of May.

I contacted Irene, she said she would give me a price and never came back to me, but she also mentioned with only 2 vehicles cross will be too high to cross china.

Lisa from Navo has been really really helpful. With the group of 3 vehicles we are now paying CNY 16, 500/vehicle + driver with additional CNY 2800/extra guest.

Hey Forestwiz,

Can I ask the name of the company you used to cross at those prices? Interested to check out the website before e-mailing. Thanks

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.
