Pakistan -China - Kyrgyzstan Late -June 2016- Want to Join?

Hi all,

We are planning to ride from Pakistan through China to Kyrgyzstan June 2016.

Anyone interested to join us?

We are in contact with Kashgar Newland Travel Agency from China. It will be a four day trip from Pakistan to Tashkurgan via Khonjirap pass, a stopover in China in Kashgar and leaving China to Kyrgyzstan via Torugart pass or the Irkishtam pass.

Total distance: between 600km and 685km (depending on which pass to ride). You only ride on the 1st, 2nd and fourth day.

We have received a quote ($2800 for 2 people and two motorbikes, so $1400 per person+motorbike). This price will be lower if more people join.

You can contact me directly on leonie AT amsterdamtoanywhere DOT nl

Cheers and happy travels, Leonie

Hi Leonie,

I am planning to ride from India to UK.

I will be in India at the end of May 2016.

I already have my India, Pakistan and China visas and would be keen to ride and share the costs with you through china.

What dates are you looking at?

Hi,

Is the link agency that quoted you the fees to cross China?
Kashgar Newland International Travel Service
I am planning my own RTW starting in March 2017 from Los Angeles California shipping to Australia and heading north to Russia. I am looking to cross China north towards Russia around March of 2018 when the weather is a bit more favorable in the northern hemisphere. This gives me plenty of time to find riders and spend a great deal of time in south Asia like Cambodia and India.... I will be volunteering with the GoCampaign to help the children.

The quote you've outlined is good as RIDECHINA.com quoted much higher around $3,000 if I collect 7 or 8 people. I think that is too much money in my limited budget, looking to lower the cost.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Madeleine

Hi Leonie,

I hope your trip is going really well. I think we were in contact months ago re crossing Myanmar together..? Anyway, we're a bit behind you. Myanmar was great, now in Nepal researching the pricey China crossing and foreseeing what has happened to the GB pound since Brexit happening in my bank account I was wondering if you have now completed the China leg of the journey, and if so, how was it? Would you recommend this company? They seem to be the cheapest around, as far as I can tell. Cheers for any help, Celia and Tig

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
