It would be nice to have a small group of riders to share cost of approx. $1200 (or more) for the LOI and the guide required during the Turkmenistan crossing. Visiting this country is a must!

Ok, maybe we meet us in Kyrgyzstan mid/end of June.
Yes it was been hard for me to skip Turkmenistan. The costs you mentioned I can confirm (for 3-4 days!). Additionally to visa costs note that there are fees for your vehicle at the border. It will be approximately 180 USD for motorbikes and between 200 to 500 USD for vehicles, depending on their size. But besides costs I don‘t want to get escorted all the time.
We are free and wild, aren‘t we…
