Pakistan to Tajikistan: Options?
Hello,
I am planning to get an Enfield in Nepal and drive it back to Europe overland. Instead of the conventional route (India-Pakistan-Iran, etc.) I would follow India and Pakistan and from there I would like to visit Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. To go from Pakistan to Tajikistan seems I have the following options:
1- Via China and Kyrgyzstan. I have been quoted USD 2000 for the guides and paper work (the price of the motorbike), which is unaffordable for me. Anybody has got cheaper quotation to do the KKH - Irkeshtram route? I want to do that in the minimum time, I was in the region last year.
2- Via Afghanistan. Is still the Kybher Pass closed for foreigners? How relatively safe is the Peshawar - Kyhber - Jalalabad - Kabul - Mazar-e Sharif road? Is it doable?
3- Fly the motorbike from Islamabad to Dushanbe. Any idea of how much would it cost?
Thanks for any information
