My Long Way Round Route

I Want To Ride From Japan To Norway, Crossing China.

My desired route of Long Way Round is:
Japan -> South Korea -> China -> Nepal -> Pakistan -> India -> Turkey -> Italy -> France -> Norway

I dont know how many days will it take. But I do know it will take forever if I don't do anything about it.

First step, I checked the web for info on how to import my bike into China and ride across it.
Couldn't get any concrete and solid info on this, some says I need to enter with the aid of a guide, some say I dont. I have no idea which to trust but the following link says I could probably get away without a guide.

And the link says something about the route and possible agents.

The RIDEASIA website. Contains many ride reports for all ASEAN countries and China. It says crossing into China from Laos border is perfectly doable.

This forum actually shows an actual case of a rider riding across China without a guide, from Russia / China border in the east all the way to Kazakhstan in the west! It could be done!!! So now I have to find a way to enter China from South Korea!

An official travel agency with a rather hefty price tag.

So it seems, there are  lot of options to travel across the continent. But what about riding across Russia??

I am going to leave it to the next post.

Cheers Riders!
