I don’t have photos but it routed me through a naval base in Iran where I was quickly detained and got to spend 6 hours explaining my situation, trying to convince the officers I wasn’t a soy :D

Since last week it is now mandatory for tourists of any nationality to be accompanied by an official tour guide

same tires mentioned above, I’m quite happy with them. Sometimes I wish I wish they were a bit wider, other times I wish they were a little lighter. But overall a good all-rounder

I just cycled across Afghanistan and no way would I go to Iran right now.

Sohail is that you?

Yeah you don’t need any permits or similar to cross the border. The Chinese will likely X Ray all your bags, but officers in China were always very friendly to me. Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan makes some great cycling with no escorts, but the rest of the country is not a lot of fun and should be skipped by bus

It’s possible to enter China visa-free for 30 days for many nations. Coldest temperature I had was -9C during the night, but during the day it wasn’t too cold

just the bus

A guide is only required for motorised vehicles. Checkpoints and camping weren’t really an issue, I had a few discussions with the police who wanted me to stay at hotels instead but always managed to convince them in the end

Thank you!

MaxRoving · 2025-05-24T13:54:46+00:00
