Suggested route through Kazakhstan
Looks like the corona virus is forcing my hand, so my long thoughts about trans Asia trip is becoming a very strong possibility. I intend crossing from China into the Kazakh border with a bike tour in May/June 2020, but might as well continue on to Europe. Of course aware that the border is now completely closed thanks to the virus scare.
Looking for suggested routes through Kazakhstan, leaving China either through Korgos or Alashankou, dependent on not having to produce an ATA. I would like to get through with the least hassle, to enter Russia and turn southwards to Georgia. I am South African, so no need for Russian visa, but need a Kazakh visa. Riding a newish and meticulously maintained Benelli TRK502X ADV bike.
Any suggestions or anyone interested to join? Intended route is through Kazakhstan, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, then entering the EU in Greece and final destination Portugal.
