Greetings Axel & Suse

Hi Axel & Suse

I will be doing similiar trip next year together with my wife. We are going on two bikes. Will be traveling from Poland to New Zealand. We will be happy to join you and share the costs. Actually we are planning 3 stages where it is required.

Stage 1 - China (KKH) from Kyrgyzstan to Pakistan / around 4/5 days trip / we are planning to enter China around 10.09.2018

Stage 2 - Myanmar and Thailand from India to Laos / ~10-14 days for both countries / entering Myanmar early November 2018

Stage 3 - Thailand from Cambodia to Malaysia / ~4 days / entering Thailand early/mid December 2018

There is also Karl riding from Germany to Australia around same time. He posted a thread on ADV rider forum but is not replying lately. And also Bento from Netherlands planning a trip in 2019 but perhaps we could talk him into 2018 :)

Best,

Lukasz & Marta

Bento 24 Oct 2017 08:30

Not have an exact planning yet but also doing Europe - Australia so keeping an eye on this.

jjjjcccc 24 Oct 2017 18:10

Hey, I'm also planning on crossing China in the same place. Will be travelling from UK to India, me and my girlfriend on two motorbikes. Its looking like we would enter China at the end of October though, but would be great to team up and share costs

YannisHD 26 Oct 2017 06:47

ddw,

Will you be shipping your bikes there or doing rental? I'm interested.

Hi, late October will be not good if you plan to go to Ladakh in India. Entering China at the beginning or middle September will allow you to reach Ladakh in early October. At that time all the high passes might still not be covered with snow. And that region is definitely MUST SEE ;) Perhaps you might reconsider your plans :)

Cheers,
Lukasz

Thanks for the advice Lukasz. Yeah my main concern is it getting late in the year to be going through those mountainous areas, Pamirs too. Have you been to Ladakh before?
It looks like i should be able to get to India at that time of year though but wont be able to explore the mountains properly... or am i wrong? :)

I visited Ladakh in 2012. It was beginning of October. I think first week. One week later Khardung La was covered with snow. I talked today with XT Adventures. They are couple that visited the region this year also at the beginning of October. To be safe it is the latest time to do it. So October seems to be still fine for Ladakh but later the roads might be closed.

KKH Crossing
 
Hi,

I'm looking to cross the KKH around September next year, my timings are really flexible.
I'm on a motorcycle and travelling with my partner (two-up).

Any ideas on costings?

Cheers

I found 1000$ per bike on this forum. This certainly needs to be checked..
greets trolik

Jastrap 9 Nov 2017 09:42

Hi Tarzan and Trolik,

We are already collecting offers from Chinese agencies. If we form a group big enough (10/12 people) I think we can have a price below 1000 USD. It is 5 days crossing from Irkeshtam (Kyrgyzstan) to Khunjerab (Pakistan). Hotels, tour guide, paper work etc. included. Send me your email adresses or name/surname in a private message so I can give you details. We have a Facebook group where we are discussing details. I think Axel already invited you.

We are still open for more people ;)

Cheers

Hi guys,

It´s Carlos, from Spain. It´s my first message in this forum.
I´m planning a tour around the world leaving in July from Spain. I´d like to cross from Irkeshtam - Kasgar - Khunjerab, on same dates as you. Mostly around 15th September, but of course I could do it first if you guys already have an organised trip on 3rd Sept.

It´d be great to share costs for the tour "guide".

Waiting for your confirmation and next steps then.

kind regards,
Carlos.

Hi Lukasz
we are two up on our BMW GSA. We're doing UK to Australia leaving UK early June. Sep 3rd is ideal for us to cross into China and then down to the KKH. Can you PM us details/costs if you still have room in your group?
Thank you :mchappy:

gordaansiosa 9 Jan 2018 14:08

Hello all,

I don’t know how many of you would be interested, if any. After China I intend to cross Myanmar and Thailand, starting mid-October. I started a thread for this, as it is also needed to have a guide in both countries.

Thread link: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...r-2018-a-93867

Aaron.s 9 Jan 2018 21:37

I'm also interested. Kiwi guy recently finished the Americas and currently in Oregon.

Jastrap 27 Jan 2018 12:32

We already have two groups for crossing on September 3rd.
First group is 10 people, other is 8 people.
Still looking for at least 4 people to form 12pax and 10pax. If anyone is interested please drop a message.

Hola!
Nosotros somos una pareja con una moto y estamos planeando cruzar China desde Kirguistán y hacia Pakistan en junio/julio porque salimos en Abril desde Barcelona. Te queda demasiado tarde? Cómo llevas el tema visado? porque en el consulado chino me dijeron que imposible, que para que me hicieran el visado necesitaba un billete de avión de entrada y salida del país...

saludos!

____________

We are a couple with a motorcycle and we are planning to cross China from Kyrgyzstan and to Pakistan in June / July because we left in April from Barcelona. You are too late? How do you carry the visa subject? because in the Chinese consulate they told me that it was impossible, that in order to get a visa, I needed a plane ticket to enter and leave the country ...

regards!

Silvester112 5 Mar 2018 14:35

Hi.
We are traveling with a 4x4 van and searching for a group to cross China from Kyrgystan to Pakistan.
Can I join your group Marc?
Or any other group?
We prefer to cross in August but beginning of September is ok too.
We would be happy to get a reply.
Thanks

We are two brothers feos Barcelona, we are planning to cross China on September 2018, to go to India. If there is any group made that is going to Pakistan or anywhere close to India and where we can fit we would be very happy to share the cost and adventure with you.
Please contact mobydickaroundtheworld@gmail.com
By the way, does anyone knows if it’s possible to go from Kyrgyzstan straight no Nepal? To enter in India without having to go trough Pakistan and like that save one visa?
Thanks in advance

For those of you that missed the September group I have another going mid/late October (dates flexible). Let me know if keen to join and spread costs.

Josien 30 Aug 2018 07:42

We are two people in a car. It is a last-minute plan, but we thought we could still try. Would love to hear.
