Australians for Tibet
OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL AUSSIE TRAVELLERS- I am undertaking a self-drive tour (right now its 5 French in their vehicles and the aussies would be in my vehicle) with Tibet-Tours entering via Kathmandu,Nepal on the 10th of August through Tibet, China and Exiting in Laos (total 25 days.) Only groups with nationalities of 5 or more will be granted Tibetan permits... So currently in my tour group we have 3... Aussies already, thus we are required 2 more....
The fee structure for the tour company is a total amount which gets divided accordingly amoungst the whole group.... Costs associated with this, is shared price of tour company which is appoximatley 450 Euro (thats right guided tour, 25 days for only 450 Euros) Vehicle permit costs you would NOT have to worry about (owners of vehicles are taking care of that).... So the costs associated for you would only be around 450 Euros for tour + individual visa costs (very minimal, cant recall exactly) + chip a little for fuel costs + day to day living expenses
This will be a great opportunity to see Tibet and China in a unique way... Many of you will know Tibet has remained an extremely elusive place to westeners throughout its history.
Any further details please drop me a line and I would be happy to send you a full itinerary.... Or alternatively if this is not for you can you please share this post....
Many thanks

Cheers

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.
