I am looking for other riders/drivers (4 vehicles maximum)to cross China from Laos to Kyrgyzstan in May 2016. Much cheaper as a group but must stay together for the duration of the journey (60 days).
Anyone interested?

Crossing china 2016

We are interested in forming a small group to cross china when and where you have indicated. We will be travelling from Australia to Italy, leaving around March. We would like to go unguided. Are you working through an agent to cover, driver's licence, plates and whatever other paperwork the country requires? Can you give me more information, thanks?

options on Yunnan-Xinjiang, China

Hello guys,

Nice to meet you. I worked for a China adventure tour company who focus on driving/riding tour in China. Hope I can help.

Self-driving in China is now under control. Here would provide several simple notes:
1. normally China operator needs at least 2-3 months for national permits applying.
2. if motorbike and cars would make into one group, please note the road conditions as motorbike cannot ride on the highway in the most area in China.
3. for age: in principle the rider cannot beyond 60 years old and driver cannot beyond 70 years.

The route you choose from Yunnan to Xinjiang is very classical. But there always have many options on route choosing. as you plan 60 days, your tour will be excited.

Maximized 4 vehicles is a good consideration! Then the travel agent can take care everyone well.

Anyway, you need a professional local tour operator to help. Actually some users contacted with China NAVO Tour already. I'm not sure if you find a suitable tour company, we are always here for service.

For more specific info about China riding and driving, plz feel free to contact at abby.zhang@navo-tour.com.

Welcome to China~

Kolkata to Oslo

Hi,

We are planning a trip to Oslo from India in May 2016 on a 4 wheeler and would like to go through China. Since the costs are very high, we are also looking for other cars to make a group. We plan to travel through.

India - Tibet - Kyrgyzstan - Iran - Turkey - Greece - Italy - Switzerland - Germany - Austria - Czech - Poland - Norway

It would be great to have some more travellers along!
Please do let us know if someone might be thinking about this.
Any suggestions solicited.
Thanks
