Hi All,

I'm crossing Kyrgyzstan, China, Pakistan the 16th of September together with Joe. It is a 4 days trip. Costs are 2090 USD for one person, 2620 USD for two persons. So the more people will join us the better. Please PM me if this also fits your schedule.

You are all welcome to join!

Still looking for travel mates
Hi again,

we are still on the lookout for travel mates to share the cost :-)
The deposit has been paid to the tour operator.
The dates can be altered until 40 days before the crossing at the latest, so let us know if you have other wishes date wise and we might be able to figure something out :-)

Hey Mia,

Definitely keen to cross krygz-china-pak around mid-late October. I'm an Aussie bloke riding my triumph from London to Sydney, will be entering from the stans to krygyzstan. Does that time slot work for you? How much would it cost for me to join (1 bloke, 1 bike)?

Hi Dutchie,

You would be most welcome :-)
The price would be 1277 USD for you. Less if we can find more people to join us.

We plan to cross only in the beginning of November. We could change it until the very end of October. Don't know if that is too late for you? I think there is also another group here on the HUBB who plan to go earlier in October.

Mia

Krygz - Pak
That should work well for me Mia. I have to spend a good few weeks in turkey, if not a month, as I will have to apply for my pak visa via post to Sydney - I haven't heard of anybody getting their visa through the pak embasssy in Turkey unless they are turkish.

I'll be planning to get to Turkey early august and leaving start of september, so late october/early nov works well for me. Let me know the details so I can get the ball rolling

Cool!

Maybe so far we can just stick with the scheduled dates 4th-7th of November then?
Reason why we don't want to go too early is that we want enough time to see and hang around in Central Asia ;-)

I get the idea that we might have quite a similar itinerary? We well be travelling in Turkey in August, then September in Iran, and October in the Stans. Maybe if you want, we can try to meet up somewhere earlier on route and discuss?
You can e-mail me at miaesper@hotmail.com and I can send you the quote I got from the Chinese tour operator that way if you like. Also you can read more about us and our trip on our blog if you're interested: https://meeptheworld.wordpress.com/

New dates and more companions
Hi everyone,

The dates for crossing Torugart-Khunjerap have now been changed to 25th-28th of October. The Khunjerap pass is due to close for winter on 1st of November.

Also, as it looks now we will be two cars and one motorbike.

More companions are still welcome but last sign up is around 15th of September.

Hi Mia,

We are a Swiss couple with a truck looking for this passage at the same time. We are currently in Iran, heading for the Stans next week, if the Turkmen agree... The dates in November would have fit perfectly, but we should be able to make it for your current fixture too. So, please send us a PM if you think we can join in.

BTW, I thought the Khunjerap closes 1st of December?

Thomas
