Khasgar Bike Tour
This trip starts from Khasgar. A town in the autonomous province of
Xingxang in the west of China. Bordering with Pakistan, Afghanistan and
Turkistan it once was a major halt for Caravans on the Silk Road. Today
it is a flourishing commercial centre with a population composed of
Uighur, Tajik and Kirgiz nationalities. Here it are the Han Chinese
that form the minority.
At khasgar, we will meet with our
additional supplies & support vehicles. From here we will bike the
next 3 weeks through china and into tibet. Before ending our trip by
driving towards Kodari, we will make the 3 days kora(circumbulation)
around Kailash. This 3 days pilgrimage walk around this `only holy`
mountain in the world, will defitinely be one of the highlights of this
trip.
