Is it possible to ride from Europe to Singapore via China right now?
Plans for this upcoming epic trip keeps changing. At first the ride was from Europe to Vladistok via Turkey, Caucuses, Central Asia, Mongolia, and Siberia. And ship my bike back home. That was before the invasion of Ukraine. And now since Russia is a no go for many obvious reasons. I was looking at going through Pakistan, India and into SE Asia. But see now the border between India and Burma are closed. So this leaves me with passage through China from Kyrgyzstan (preferably along the Northern slope of the Himalayas through Tibet and then come out of China into Laos. The issue I see with China is its nightmarishly bureaucracy and costs of getting my bike registered into the country. Chinese drivers license, guided escorts, etc. Yes I know even if I was able to take the Pakistan/India route I would still have to go through China for that 1-2 day trip between Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan but taking the Tibetan route although would be an epic route in itself. I'm not sure how do able this is. The only alternative I was thinking was to have my bike shipped by truck from the Kyrgyzstan border all with way through China to the Laos border? Any suggestions?
