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,
Isabelle

Same route, same means of transport...
 

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 there. My name is Rob. I am a biker from Holland and planning a trip to Australia this summer. Leaving in august and planning for the first part of the trip the same route as Stefan from Germany. I am very interested in your plans.
Perhaps in one way or the other we can do a part of the route together.
Let me know if you are interseted also.
Met vriendelijke groet

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

Hi Mathias and others !
We are still interested in crossing from Kirghizistan to Nepal, whatever the border..
I also have quotes from two tour operators
Let's keep in touch
Cheers,
Isabelle

Hi Mathias !

Hi together: I've found a partner for Kyrgyzstan - China (Tibet Route) - Leaving to Nepal / Mymanmar (Depending to border situation of Nepal).

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.

Hi all!
My name is Javier and we're travelling through central asia with a 4x4 campervan. We're currently in dubai an on early May we'll cross to Iran. We're want to cross china in september to enter Nepal by tibet. September totally fits for us so we're interested. My email is javi@javisanchez.eu. I can't send PM because 3 posts are required, so Capt. Mathias can you contact me in order to know the cost?
Thank you very much!
Javier

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

Kyrgyzstan to. Nepal
 

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

Hi Sue !
Will contact you !
