Hi Holger,
great to hear from you! I wrote you an email with some preliminary information.
We got first offers from different agencies with the cheapest being about approx. 725 USD per person (bikes a little cheaper, cars a little more expensive).
We agreed on the last week of September for traveling through China.
The itinerary is with all the tour companies like that.
Day 1: Entering China from Kyrgyzstan (Irkeshtam border OR Torugart Pass). Border formalities. Drive to Kashgar. Arrive in Kashgar
Day 2: Formalities at the traffic administration in Kashgar. Here, your temp. Chinese driving license and number plate will be issued. This process might take most of the day until 5 pm.
Day 3: Kashgar - Tashgurkan: Drive on the Karakorum Hwy. to Tashkurgan. 5.5 hours / 300 km
Day 4: Tashkurgan - Pakistan: Border crossing. Around 3,5 hours / 200 km into Pakistan
If somebody else is interested - let us know - we will wait for some more offers and then work on reducing prices, clarifying all the details and so on!
Cheers,
Bernd

Hi bodenseeoverlander,
I have only started planning my trip a couple of days ago so have a lot of work to do !
I am also looking at a September crossing but ideally early-mid September as I want to be able to ride the North of India and crossing in late September may mean the roads close by that time
Are you fairly fixed on late September?
If so, that is fine, i will let you know if my plans change at all.
Alternatively, if I am to do it alone in early September, would you mind sharing some of the information you have gathered so far with me so that I can also look at a similar option?
Thanks in advance
