Kyrgyzstan -> China -> Pakistan in August (or Georgia -> India)
We are a group planing to go Georgia (9.7.), Armenia (11.7.), Iran (!3.7.), Turkmenistan (20.7), Uzbekistan (Classic Silk Road Cities) (24.7.), Tadjikistan (31.7.) (Pamir Highway), Kyrgyzstan (10.8), China (12.8.) (Karakorum Highway), Pakistan(16.8), India(22.8).

I think this 6 week trip packs a lot of highlights. It involves also 9 difficult border crossings, lots of visa, permits and guides.

We still looking for travel companions (whole trip or part) to keep costs for guides etc. low. I guess we have visas and permits well organised but we need to start the application process this months.

So If you want to drive the nicest parts of the silk road + Parmir Highway + Karakorum Highway this is the time. You never know when the next land slide blocks the Karakorum Highway for years to come.

The group current consists of trucks and cars only but everybody is

Hi Max,

Is this trip really a marathon?
I drove a lot of your route last year and I can see that you are going to be driving almost every day.
You are going to miss out on any intimate connections with the locals and insights into the countries you get from stopping and absorbing. It is a pity really because you will never go back.
Be prepared for fuel difficulties in Uzbekistan where diesel and petrol are hard to find. We found only four places where it was available between Tashkent and the Kazakhstan border via Khiva. There is so much to experience in Tajikistan it is a crime to rush through.
You wont be able to do any speed on the bitumen on the way to Murghab without getting airborne.

Hello Kurien
I am from Canada and I plan to go to India either from the UK or from Greece via Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan. I will continue on to Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and back to Greece and then fly back to Canada.
Maybe we could coordinate.
