I just read though the whole forum and I believe I'm caught up. I'm on a year long service trip through Asia that will end in August and I plan on buying a bike in Tajikistan in late August. Your itinerary sounds amazing and I already have a 10 year Chinese visa but I can't commit to a trip in early September being that I'm not sure how long it will take to acquire a bike.

Is anyone planning on riding in the northern istans (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan...) in September/October? Or even taking any rout from Asia towards Europe? I'm looking for a partner but having a difficult time finding one. Any other forums you would recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I'm doing the same trip this Summer. It would be ideal to share the costs of guides while crossing china from Kyrgyzstan to Pakistan.

Hi tom,
that sounds ideal....thought i may be a little late for getting a group together, but that sounds like a super route, meeting in Kashgar sounds great, shall we fix a date and try to sort out guides/permits etc before hand or do you think its easier to sort there? Are u any good at the organisation part of things?
Emma
Ps. fab that you're able to join also mike - lets try and get another couple of people together....

hi tom, sure thing, gotta do a days work but will send email early eve, I was thinking to maximize time in india that I would probably get my visa in Bishkek for india Pakistan and china meaning I will be getting there around a month early , I imagine some time late june, the plan to cross late july ....would that suit you too? perhaps we could meet in Bishkek and sort guids from there....bet prices would be lower than trying to sort all from here...what are your thoughts? Emma

Yeah, if we organize for a date for meeting in Kyrgyzstan then we could take it from there. Get quotes for the prices before, but then shop around in Kyrgyzstan for the guides whilst awaiting visa confirmation.

Yes all sounds good! Bishkek in late June and crossing late July.
I have read on a couple of forums that you can only apply for a paki visa in you home country or sent your passport there, so be aware of that
Also i wil do some more research about the obligations to drive in China.

Cheers

Thanks in advance.
