That's a good choice and there are some excellent books covering that journey (with a nip into China) plus going back the southern route will make it epic.
Keep in touch.

It's worked out that we now have a plan to run two teams of four which will come together for the escorted sections of the route.
Fancy joining us? Drop me a line.

I may be travelling through Turkey and Iran later in 2017. I am UK based but meeting friends in Greece, then continuing to Turkey, Iran and returning via Turkmenistan but would be interested in joining up for Turkey/Iran.
I am at the very early planning stage and flexible on time. I like the sound of the 7 day visa from Hossein, but open to other possibilities.

Hey Chris
Is this trip still going ahead?
I'm planning a trip from London to Melbourne July/Aug 2017 (although really flexible with dates).
Planning to cut across Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan... and that's about as far as the planning got as I stumbled across China... which I can't afford to travel through solo.
I was originally looking to go through Turkey & Iran but couldn't find anyone to travel with... until I came across this thread.
Would love to join a group to explore a few countries with...
Cheers Chris
