Hi Floris:

Thanks for posting the quote info.

That looks similar to what I have been quoted,
though my more inexpensive quote (below) does
not include accommodation, meals, fuel, etc.

What I received was:

1 person - $2,350 USD
2 person - $1,555 USD
3 person - $1,290 USD
4 person - $1,158 USD

With respect to the weather, it seems to be better
to enter China a little later, to avoid the rainy season
on the wind/weather side of the Himalayas - and also
to avoid potential delays due to road washouts.

What route are you thinking about after the KKH ?

Have you been watching the security situation in Pakistan ?

It seems pretty dodgy right now - though I think that
the northern crossing (KKH -> Abbottabad -> Lahore)
looks like 3-4 days, so not too much time in that area.

Re China, we are travelling across the Torugart Pass into China leaving Naryn 20th August for Kashgar.
We will then take 28days to travel across China (avoiding the BIG cities as we have lived previously in China) to Laos. We have appointed a Chinese agent/guide and currently finalising the itinerary.

We have a seat in the 4x4 for a guide.
if anyone interested in sharing all or a part of this journey, let me know.

Andy

KKH in September 2014
Hi AccelRus,

I am planning to take route 2 from Torugart to Pakistan during the 2nd week in September. Together with my best mate, we will be traveling on two R1200GS.

I have received similar quotes from StanTours and Navo (a bit more expensive).

Let me know if this works with your timing. Would be great to join forces.

Cheers,
Joe

Hey AccelRus!

First question - are you russian?)

I'm planning to cross China by KKH too at the same time as you do. Approx. dates of entering China is late September - early October. Starting from Moscow at the end of August.
My route continues through the same countries. I'm heading to Indonesia.

Bike - Africa Twin, 1 rider.

It would be cool to join a group. Looking forward for a message from you.

Thanks!

BikerT, Joe GS and maxim_unanov:

Thanks for the responses !

I sent each of you a PM - as it is easier to chat via e-mail,
plus we have a group of 4-10 people all looking to cross China
in the fall, with a number of routes options on the table.

Maybe get in touch via e-mail and we can see where everyone
is at with options, etc.

PS - not Russian - Canuckistanian...

Cheers

Stuart
