looks like 3sep kkh group is full? sinky, given you are shooting for 3sep kkh departure, do you have a firmer date in mind for a burma crossing?

i'm wondering if a later departure group/individual would still be able to link up with a burma crossing somehow

kim, looking back on the pricing breakdown for kkh crossing, i assume that rider visa/entry requirements into china are covered as well? so its just personal expenses (food, accom, fuel, etc) and guide's tip that need to be factored as extra? i wonder if there will be budget conscious options at the intended stops...

Hi k3nny , would plan to enter burma 12th October .hi drew. Taylor chapman . Wuming , would this date work for you guys , if so that's a group of 7. Sounds good to me . Let me know

We will postpone our trip one month. We will be willing to cross the Chinese border the first days of August.

Hi Sinky, yep October 12 would work quite nicely for us. We could do anything up to about a week earlier than this, but would prefer no later than the 12th.

Groups not full, as I said there is not a limit I just thought that if we had enough people to make it two groups things might work out easer. I will post the quote below which lists what is included but basically, we need to arrange and pay for our own Visas, food accommodation and gas PLUS the food and accommodation for the guid (plus tips).

Hi, welcome to the thread.
I have updated the second post in this thread and added your proposed enter dates. Hopefully someone will come along who has similar plans. Or maybe someone from this group will change their plans and want to go earlier / later.

Hello everybody and thanks Kim for the post.

I am Jaime, from Spain.

I still don't have fixed dates, but hopefully i could either join first or second group, so, i will follow the link and update my situation asap.

Just in case, i contacted an agency with included all the expenses at 1.750 $ for one bike. Maybe the price for 4 could be better than the one we already have.

Just let me know if you need further information.

The budget is the one that follows. It adds 2.319 $, but i had a counter offer at 1.750 $

Just check that it includes Hotels.

Insurance fee: 6.6.$ /bike ( above 250 CC)

Tour Guiding Fee: 83.$/day x 4days =332.$

Guiding vehicle fee:700.$ (Entry from Irkeshtam to Kashgar and Kashgar to Tashkurgan)

Hotel in Kashgar a twin room.(double bed bases.) 50.$/day/room x 2days =100.$

Hotel in Tashkorgan twin room. (double bed bases.) 50.$/day/ room x 1day =50.$

Hotel fee for guide and driver in Tashkurgan:42./day/room x 1room x 1day=42.$

Meals fee for guide and driver 9.$/person/day x 2person x 4days = 72.$

Total:2319.9 .$

I have a range Rover and would be interested in doing the trip and carry the guide so a separate vehicle would not have to be hired as I did for the trip that wuming organized in 2012.

Hi guys , think we have a group of 8 - 10 interested I have route and price details from tour co so if you can pm me email address I can send them out and we can start exchanging details and planing after christmas .sinky
