By chance, we found a new guide option with much cheaper price to transit China. Cost for an additional bike (or vehicle) is now considerably less at around £2K to transit with us (2 x 4wd) - 26 days, entering beginning September, Mongolia to Laos. This cost now also includes the guides expenses and customs deposit. Each group needs to pay site fees, parking, tolls, accommodation, fuel, food for themselves.
We also asked about solo bike transit with 4wd hire in China Although you would need to re-check this info yourselves, from what we can see transit cost for the same trip for lone bike would be in the region of $5250USD or approx £3270. Much better than some of the previous costs posted we have seen.
This is through a more independant guide rather than a tour operator so maybe some might want to wait to see how we get on. Otherwise welcome to PM for contact details.
'vette - thank you for the very useful route information. We have been looking at your recommendations in some detail as well as those proposed by the agencies to help us get a final itinerary together.
