Five nations.
One ride.

There is no strict minimum CC, but this is a long-distance international tour covering ~6,060 km including high-altitude mountain roads (up to 3,450 m) and cold weather in Yunnan. A bike of at least 250cc with highway capability is strongly recommended. Underpowered or poorly maintained bikes are a risk to you and the group.

You should be a confident, independent rider comfortable with full-day riding (6–9 hours), unfamiliar roads, and varied conditions including mountain switchbacks, cold, and rain. Prior overseas or long-distance touring experience is a strong advantage. This is not a beginner ride.

Yes. There are additional costs for the Laos border crossing (+$30) and the China guided tour (+$285 per pillion). Pillions are welcome on all other legs at no extra charge beyond personal expenses.

Absolutely — solo riders are welcome. You will be part of the full group throughout. The only difference is you are responsible for your own accommodation on the non-China legs (the China leg is fully arranged).

The tour is designed as a complete end-to-end journey. Partial participation can be discussed — contact us via Telegram before registering. Note that the China leg requires a minimum group size for the guided tour pricing to hold, so dropouts affect everyone's cost.

If you need to exit mid-tour, you are responsible for your own transport and bike logistics home. The group will continue without you. This is why personal travel insurance (including emergency repatriation) is mandatory.

No. The China leg has a professional English-speaking guide. For Thailand and Laos, the tour organiser leads the group and handles key communications. For China, install Amap (高德地图) for navigation — Google Maps does not work there.

An International Driving Permit is an official translation of your home licence recognised internationally. It is mandatory for Laos and strongly recommended for all countries on this route. Singapore riders can apply through the AA Singapore — it costs SGD $20 and is typically issued same-day.

Our Laos agent will handle all visa paperwork and border formalities at the Huay Xai crossing. Nothing to arrange in advance — just bring your passport.

Yes — the deposit is fully refundable until 90 days before departure (September 15, 2026). After that date, deposits are non-refundable as costs will already be committed with vendors.

The China guided tour portion is priced per group size — more riders means lower cost per person. The base estimate assumes a target group of 15–19 riders ($719 per bike for China). Your final cost adjusts once the full group is confirmed.

Fuel (all countries), meals, personal travel insurance, Thailand vehicle insurance, site entrance fees, shopping, and personal expenses. See the Pricing section for full breakdown.

The China leg has a dedicated support vehicle carrying tools and spare parts, plus a pre-arranged mechanic network in Dali, Lijiang, and Chiang Rai. Outside China, the group will not leave a rider stranded — local mechanics are available in all major towns.

Install Google Maps for Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Laos. Before entering China, install Amap (高德地图) — Google Maps does not function in China. Offline maps for all countries are recommended.

Yunnan in December is cold at altitude. Expect -5°C to 20°C — Shangri-La sits at 3,450 m and snow is possible. Bring proper thermals, a heated or wind-blocking mid-layer, and waterproof outer gear. This is the section most riders underpack for.
