Hi Mathias !
What is the route through Pakistan ?
How do you get the Visa for Pakistan ?

I only received one quote to Nepal - from Voyage au Tibet, it's the same than Tibet Reisen - lots of french people travel with this tour operator
Navo Tour has not answered yet.

Cheers,
Isabelle

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

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 :-)

You only need a tour operator for china. For Pakistan you organize your visa in the embassy or consulate in your country. We might be a group of 2-3 overlander already.

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.

Isabelle

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

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 all!

We are Jeroen & Nicolette from Holland and we are also interested in joining. We drive a Land Cruiser campervan and need to decide if we want to take the KKH or the route into Nepal. Can you keep us up to date on your plans? We'd love to visit Kashgar on a Sunday by the way, the market should be pretty impressive. You can reach us at jeroen.willemse@gmail.com.
Thanks!

Best regards, Jeroen

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
