Hi Londonbiker, you have a PM. Planning a ride to lhasa and forward to India from the UK - may 2019. I am sure there will be more people travelling around that time.

Hi all - Anyone here looking to go through China into Pakistan in 2019?

Ideally late-September

Open to the idea of a crossing from Kyrgyzstan but also very interested in the newly opened border from Tajikistan which is a shorter time in China and hence should cost less

Hi Londonbiker

I am from the UK (Scotland) but currently living in Spain. I plan to start my RTW trip in May 2019, probably from the UK as I need to change bike before I start my trip, and apart from the N Africa part this was a route I was planning to take. Get in touch to see if our schedules etc. are compatible.

I'm also planning a china crossing early 2019. I'm based in London. My Current plan is to ride from the UK to Turkey, get a ferry from Baku to Central Asia and then explore for a bit. My end goal is to get to Thailand via India and so need to pass through China, would love to find a group to split the guide costs with. Give me a shout
