Hey guys,
I guess you are not very flexible anymore? I want to cross the Chinese border from Kyrgyzstan too, but I need to do it around 29th July-1st of August because I have to make it through Pakistan to India on time to go to a wedding.

Hi, Got2Go,
I'm very sorry, but I must be working in Europe until August 5; on 6 August my plane arrives to Osh where it's my bike. Thus, 7 August is my first possible entry day but, as border seems to be closed in weekends (so I've read, al least), we'll have to wait till 8 August.

Hi … I’ve been riding north through East Africa for four months, now in Ethiopia and awaiting visas to proceed through Sudan and Egypt.
From Egypt, I’m working on shipping my DR650 to Europe and proceeding to Tajikistan > Kyrgyzstan > China > Pakistan > India > Myanmar > Thailand.
My issue is timeframe. It’s hard to say when I can make it to Kyrgyzstan given inevitable delays of overland moto travel. For instance, my visa for Sudan should have been ready last week here in Addis Ababa but I am still waiting. Shipping out of Egypt is not likely to be quick and simple.
Upshot – I aim to join one of the three (?) groups riding Kyrgyzstan > China > Pakistan in either mid-June, early August and mid-August. Should have a better handle on timeframes by early April and will be in a position to sign on officially with a group then.
In the meantime, please feel free to PM me details or other info, and I’ll keep and eye on this and other Kyrgyzstan > China > Pakistan threads.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been in touch with Bing at Navo Tours a number of times since September 2015 on the China crossing, Bing has been very helpful and responsive.
Thanks!
Mark

Dear Travellers,
I am driving a 4x4 van Mitsubishi L300. I am looking for a group to join to cross China entering from Kyrgystan to enter Pakistan as I want to reach India. The perfect time for me is first half of Septmber but I am willing to adjust just to save some money.
Please let me know if I could join your team.
I am interested in the dates that you have in your plan at the moment.
I am in Poland right now, leaving early May!
Cheers!
Michal Mochon

Kyrgystan-China-Pakistan (Karakoram) Oct/Nov 2016
Hi everyone
My boyfriend and I are planning to cross Kyrgystan-China-Pakistan via Karakoram in late Oct or early Nov 2016. I don't know if you'd be interested in teaming up to share the costs? We are already in touch with a tour operator through China (4 days) but have not made any fixed agreements yet. We are by Volkswagen van.
Best regards, Mia

3 bikes confirmed for August 8
Hi Mia,
Our crossing China is scheduled for August 8. Three bikes already confirmed and another one in doubt.
We, and our agency, are looking for a few more partners, but we 3-4 bikers will go on that date, anyway.
Good luck.

It's 1000$ in case of 4 bikers, 4 days. No problem in sending you the quotation.
At the moment, we are already five, thus it'll cost less.
More bikers are still welcome.
Remember: on August 8 we're entering China through Irkeshtam pass.
