Guided tour set up through Western China and Tibet, need people to join!




So far there is a 4 x 4 and myself (moto) headed on the attached route. The 4 x 4 helps with costs as the guide can ride with him instead of having to use his own vehicle. The more the merrier as it drives the costs down.

Leaving the Kyrgyzstan /China border mid September. Let's check out the roof of the world!

Good luck, torugart pass took us just over 6 hours three weeks ago. Avoid getting there late, they work to Beijing time and lunch break is from 14:00 to 16:00. The jeep in our group had a blow out and wheel changing problems so we got there late. Then they didn't want to let us in and we waited ages for clearance. All our paperwork was correct, the guide waiting, they just wanted conformation. I would have liked a day or two longer in Kashgar but time is precious, we lost a full day processing the vehicles and licences at the traffic police HQ.
Enjoy.

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.
