Trans China
Hi Legs
It seems there are many more groups heading South through China than North, is that why you're going to Europe and heading East rather than heading West from Australia or was there another consideration for you? I've read that constantly driving into the setting sun can be tiring so east bound travel is easier in that regard.
I'm looking at leaving at the end of March but whether I go E-W or W-E remains to be determined and I think the likelihood of being able to join a group through China is going to make all the difference.
I would have PM'd directly but I can't do that yet.
Cheers,
Azza

Hi KayJay -
I am planning a similar route but in late week of Aug-2013 and exit to Pakistan.
So far, I am alone and this is my second year trying to make this route happen!
I was wondering if you can share some info. on who is organizing your trip in Nepal and what all you require for border crossing till Lhasa?
Also, with your R&D and other findings is it true that thee is no way we can do this route on our own? Travel agencies can just manage the paperwork and permit requirements.
I was planning to buy motorbike in China but does not seem like that is an option!
Are you renting in Nepal or you riding your own bike?
Any helpful tips from you will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Imran

Hi Imran,
Can't understand why you feel you can't buy a motorbike in China.

Hi Vette-
I am not a residentin China or hold any kind of resident visa for China, that's why!
I have been in touch with NAVO and they confirmed that I need a Chinese license to buy or rent Motorbike in China.
This is if all is by the rules.
Do you know otherwise?
Thanks.
