Hi Mia, please note that the border from China to Pakistan can be closed end of october, cause the pass is on an altitude of 4200m and the pass is then closed because of snow.

Hi CaptainMathi :-)

Yes we are aware that the weather could be problematic. However, we have been writing with the Chinese tour operator Kashgar New Land International and they have informed us that the pass closes officially 1st of Dec but advices us to cross 15th of Nov at the latest before the heavy snowfall.
Do you have experience with the pass closing earlier than that? We are happy to hear from anyone who have experience with driving the Karakoram at this late point of the year :-)

Hi Mathias,
I thought it was still not possible to get a visa for Pakistan...
but we won't follow this option because we wanted to cross Tibet.
Cheers,

We would gladly be a part of a larger group to save some money and meet new people on the road, but unfortunately we won't be able to get there before October (we are planning to leave London in mid-August).

Hi there!

I´m a biker from Germany planning to start my tour to Asia in mid-August as well. I want to travel via Turkey, Armenia and Aserbaidjan to Iran and then continue over Turkmenistan and Usbekistan to Kirgistan, from where we could join heading to Nepal in order to lower costs. (In fact, if you plan a similar route we could also join earlier, because Turkmenistan has comparable travelling restrictions as China - the more you are, the cheaper it gets to pay the unwanted company...)
Anyway, I´m sure I could make it to Kirgistan until mid-October to meet you there, as I know most of the route (till Mashad/Iran) already. Please send me a message if you´re interested.

Stefan from Ulm, Germany

Hi guys,

I've got the information, that the border to Nepal will be open starting from May 2016. Its the border point Rasuwaghadi – Goh (Kerung / Kyirong): https://goo.gl/maps/uPQ7jWefBnD2

I am checking this alternative and asking tour operators about the price. Start would be the last week of Septmeber. I am with a 4WD and two friends, so we can host the guide.

Cheers, Mathias

Kyrgyzstan to Nepal Sep 2016
Hello,
We are planning to do the same trip from Kyrgyzstan to Nepal via G219 later this year, flexible on the dates atm. We have a Jeep Cherokee which is already in Bishkek from the previous trip.

Mathias, I sent you a pm - Please let us know.

Lhasa is optional for us, as we'd prefer the shortest route in to Nepal.

If anyone else is planning this journey let us know. Appreciate if people can share any quotes from the travel agencies too.

cheers
Che
PS: We = My wife and I, and our 2yr old.

Border opening in June
Hi
I saw on a website last night that a local paper was reporting that the China Nepal border will reopen in June this year.
We would like to drive from Kyrghistan via China to Nepal, leaving the UK in June. It would be great to join with others to share the costs of a guide. We are reasonably flexible on times, just want to get to India for the winter.
If anyone is interested in sharing costs please get in touch. We are a mature couple in a Toyota camper.
Thanks
Suede

Hi
We would be interested in joining you. How long do you plan to take from Kyrgyzstan to Nepal? We are a couple in a Toyota camper van and your dates would fit well for us. I saw on a web site last night that a local paper is reporting the Nepal China border will re-open in June. We have three seats so could host a guide. What have you been quoted for the crossing. I haven't tried to get a quote yet for this route.
My email is sue@nworth.co.uk if you want to message me.
Thanks
Suede
