Hello TC, US$20,000 does sound high.
We've been quoted 2500 euros per bike from Kaz (Urumchi) down via the Taklamakan to Lhasa, then the low road over to Kashgar and out into Pak. About 3 weeks I expect.

Actually met the guy in Sept and I've asked him a few times if this is the full price and it seems so, but still learning the ropes with China & prices and moveable goal posts. I think it may reduce costs a bit to keep it in one province (Xinjiang + Tibet - or whatever they call it)?
I asked but not sure if a bigger group gets a substantial reduction. It seemed to be only 10% when I estimated 4 people or so.
I read all groups are charged at 10 pax minimum - if you are 1 you pay for 10. Not sure if this is an urban myth.
Any trans China experts? Let's hear it.
