Hello Sarah and Thomas,

Nice to meet you. I worked for a China adventure tour company who focus on driving/riding tour in China. Hope I can help.

The route you plan:
Route 1: Kyrgyzstan - Tibet - Nepal
Route 2: Kyrgyzstan - Tibet - China - Laos

are both popular for driver/riders from all the world. And it's worth to go of spectacular landscape and exotic native culture. But you'd better to have a final decision on route or the organizer will be complicated as the different areas will cost differently.

Generally speaking, Xinjiang and Tibet are the most expensive areas in China. So for the two routes, the part of Kyrgyzstan - Tibet will be the similar, and for route 2, you will extend longer one and will cost more than Route 1 in total.

Anyway, for China part, you need a professional local tour operator to help. Actually some users contacted with China NAVO Tour already. I'm not sure if you find a suitable tour company, we are always here for service.

For more details, if you need, welcome to contact us: abby.zhang@navo-tour.com.

Wish you have a great year of 2015!

Abby~

Hi Martin,
thanks for your reply.



Fortunately we received, despite of the post in the hubb, some emails from other interested travellers and we all tend to cross from KYZ through tibet, china into Laos in September. Nothing has been fixed yet and be sure we are pleased to put you in the line as well.

Does the mentioned CHN/ LAO crossing sounds interesting for you too?
How do you want to proceed in case we would drive out of tibet into nepal?

Cheers
Thomas and Sarah

sorted ?

LSM31 - hi, no I do not have quote from or any information on 'GREATWAY', please send a pm or direct email to me with the details, i'll then email you back with what we have.

Lisa_Ann - no, not completely sorted, i assume you are interested, how many vehicles have you (you mentioned elsewhere possibly two) ? Have you had any quotes yet ? Are you 'fixed' on your route ? we prefer idea of TIBET then NEPAL.

All -- for angie and myself a route through china now is only possible if the cost for 2 people and vehicle is less than $US3500. I think this is only possible for a 25 (30 ?) day trip if 4 vehicles travel together.
We are also looking at alternative routes and options.

Phil.

Hi guys,

me and my girlfriend tried to find a solution that suits our time schedule best as driving through Tibet seems to be like a rush hour within 30 days combined with a 50:50 chance of entering the province from the west. As we wether have a time schedule nor a date to be in some place, we decided now NOT to drive through Tibet.

It's a shame for us that one has to rush through a prestine area of earth for that huge budget and short time actually!

We will head for the KKH route to Pakistan-India (just Northwestindia-Nepal-Northeastindia)- to myanmar instead in mid september. I know, it is not the same but it will give us more time to explore the himalayas than the trip through Tibet as we don't want to miss that part of earth.

I'm sorry if I confused some of you guys and maybe had requested too early.

But in case some one got (or gets) the chance to enter Tibet from the west and has been to Tholing and the area of guge kingdom I will be very happy if he or she could report about his experience!

Cheers

another vehicle

hello Thomas and Sarah
thought I had already sent you guys a 'PM' but now can't find any trace of it and so posting here instead.
Angie and myself have been long term travelling in our 4x4 iveco since 2006.

We are very keen to enter NEPAL for a coupe of months trekking hopefully later this year, we also are VERY keen to cross MYANMAR.

We have dismissed the PAKistan and so hoping for
IRAN > TURKMEN > TAJIK > KRYG > CHINA > NEPAL

some flexibilty with dates but thinking of entering CHINA end of august.
Thinking 25 or 30 days.
We have had some prices quoted but feel better to not post detail publicly.

If we can collate 4 vehicles then i think realistic price per vehicle for 25 days could be less than US$ 3500 (5 vehicles could make it less than 2000)

I am sure we are all against large group travelling but china is soooo expensive if not in a group.

please email us.
let's get talking !

We are on the same project (better september for us). What agency seems better for you ? One is cheaper than others (Greatway). Do you know it ?
