Chinese travel. Kulma pass, Tajikistan to Pakistan

[D.lee22]

Hi there,

A friend and I are looking to travel from the United Kingdom to Pakistan then India. We intend to travel through the stans to tajikistan into China then Pakistan.

Having looked at the Caravanistan website there seems to be a 140km route from Kulma pass to Pakistan that has successfully been travelled recently by a number of people.

From my understanding this route would mean we need Chinese escorts.

I have seen other recent threads of people looking for companions to travel similar routes, unfortunately noone traveling when we are. I have asked a few for name of excort companies but unfortunetly have not been successful.

I have taken a look online but my wording when googling doesn't seem to be getting decent results, can anyone recommemd anywhere to get quotes etc?

Once we have some quotes does anyone think that should be enough proof to the Chinese embassy to prove that we only want to stay for a day or two? We are keen to apply for the visa asap.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

Regarding chinese companies, you can find something here

Regarding Qolma pass, I never heard of any foreigner being able to cross with his own vehicle.
Even people on foot started crossing only in the last few years.
I'm not sure chinese customs down there are able to produce the right documents, but you should probably just ask about this to the agency.
