Entering China?
How are the rules right now? What to do to enter the country on a bike? Can I go from Kashgar via Tibet to Nepal?
Cheers joe |
Joe,
I am planning to do the same route. From what I have gathered, it is possible to get from China to Nepal, You will have to go direct to ktm and to get a visa. Don't know about getting the bike across. I will let you know what I find out. good luck |
Bordercrossing
I know from our guests last year, that you can enter China with your bike. You have to pay a lot of tax like 400 Dollar and you'll never get it back because you'll leave the country at an other border.

Or, for less money, you could fly in to China, buy a motorcycle and ride it out.

Entering and driving trough China

OK to pay what is needed to get my bike in China( and to loose this money)... But does this mean that I can drive it trough Tibet to Nepal? I hear you need to involve a travel agency and that you need to be accompagned on your trip... Keep me updated please, and Thanks Pol |

After you're in do whatever you want. The road to Nepal from Kashgar through Tibet is hairy and well armed. Several of the districts along the way require extra-special permits. On the road I met a Chinese LD rider who taught in Lhasa and strongly recommended not doing that road by yourself. He was about as serious as any rider I've met anywhere. But hell...you can try if you want! The road mentioned is the purple one below. http://www.carlparker.com/images/maps/WCRoads.jpg Be easier and better ridin' if'n you went east a little on the southern route around the Taklmakan desert towards Golmud..then south to Lhasa from there. Got a BIG desert out there folks with lots of gas stations plus you can travel a portion of the silk road which is almost never visited by 4ners. ;) Whelp, for more road info and comments check out...
