Munich-Shanghai Car Overland Tour

From Munich to the roof of the world by car!

This superlative adventure takes the globetrotter from the dignified Bavarian city of Munich through the wild Balkans to Istanbul, the oriental pearl on the Bosporus. We climb the Anatolian highlands and reach the Turkish and Georgian Black Sea coast through deep gorges on winding roads. Up through the wooded mountains and the hilly steppe of Georgia we continue across the Caucasus to Russia. A new horizon opens up to us: the Caspian Sea, along whose shores we drive through the Russian and Kazakh steppe. After crossing the Kazakh steppe we continue to follow the Silk Road to Bukhara, Samarkand and Kokand. From there we go through mountainous Kyrgyzstan and over the breathtaking Pamir Highway, one of the highest and most impressive roads in the world, which leads through the majestic landscape of the Pamir Mountains and offers unforgettable panoramic views. Finally, we cross the Torugart Pass and enter China. Two hot days of driving along the Taklamakan, the desert of no return, take us to the foothills of the Kunlun mountain range with the 7,700 meter high Mt. Kongur, before we drive to the Tibetan plateau.

We cross the roof of the world from west to east and stop at Mount Kailash, which is sacred to the Tibetans, which is good for our karma. Then we drive along the seemingly endless shores of Lake Manasarovar before we reach the base camp of the highest mountain in the world. At an altitude of 5,200 meters, we have one of the most spectacular views in the world and the most winding roads and passes in all of Asia right in front of us. In mystical Lhasa, the heart of Tibet, we will wander the winding streets of the old town together with hundreds of Tibetan pilgrims. The atmosphere is characterized by the deep spirituality and centuries-old traditions of Tibetan culture. A highlight of the stay in Lhasa is a visit to the Potala Palace, the former seat of the Dalai Lama. This architectural masterpiece not only offers an insight into the history of Tibet, but also a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and the city.

After our stay in Lhasa, the journey continues to the subtropical province of Yunnan, which literally means “South of the Clouds”. Adventure, winding roads and the fascinating landscape of Eastern Tibet await us here. Until recently, these roads were inaccessible to foreigners, but now participants can experience the diversity of the region: untouched nature on the banks of the Mekong, snow-capped Himalayan peaks, hot springs, deep coniferous forests and tea and banana plantations in the subtropics.

We leave the metropolis of Lhasa and stay in the heights of the Himalayas for the next few days. In Eastern Tibet, remote mountain roads, primeval forests and the “Switzerland of the Orient” in Lulang await us, where yaks graze on vast grasslands. At Ranwu Lake, which is framed by 5,000-meter-high peaks, we say goodbye to the Himalayas and drive down into the subtropics. Our route leads along the majestic rivers Mekong, Salween and Yangtze, the longest river in Asia. Here we enjoy the view of sandstone landscapes and deep gorges. A highlight of the trip is the majestic view of the 6,700-meter-high Kawa Karpo (Meili Xueshan) and the subsequent overnight stay with a local Tibetan family. After visiting the beautiful old town of Shangri-la, built entirely of wood, we drive through the Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the deepest gorges in the world. The otherworldly landscapes with overhanging cliffs and three-kilometer-high steep walls are dominated by the majestic Jade Dragon Snow mountain range. Here we leave the world of the Tibetans behind us and reach the subtropics.

We continue our journey to the historic Chinese old towns of Lijiang and Dali. Dali, a picturesque city with alleys and gates from the Qing Dynasty, is known for its well-preserved old town with traditional Bai architecture, picturesque landscapes and the majestic Cangshan Mountains in the background. Here we enjoy the cultural diversity and the impressive nature of the region. The last section of the trip takes us over the world’s largest rice terraces in Yuanyang to the Three Gorges Dam and finally to Shanghai, one of the most exciting and dynamic metropolises in the world. Here we experience the contrast between traditional Chinese culture and modern urbanity. An optional extension to Bangkok via Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia can be booked for those who want to extend their trip.

Questions & Answers

Will I need maps?2019-12-18T06:31:37+00:00

Simple street maps are often available locally. The best road maps are available from the German publishers Reise Know How and Nelles. These are only available in specialized bookstores or online.

Why we’re starting and ending our Tibet Motorcycle Tour in China2019-11-22T09:42:55+00:00

In the wake of the earthquake in Nepal in 2015 and road construction in many parts of the country, the journey from Kathmandu to Lhasa has not only become time-consuming, but also dangerous. The entire route from Kathmandu to the Chinese border at Rasua Gadhi on the Nepalese side and Gyirong on the Chinese side is currently a construction site. The road surface consists of sand and large stones, and it’s extremely dusty. Numerous trucks also use the road. Not even enduro enthusiasts would enjoy the ride. We would also have to factor in the time-consuming border procedures on the Nepalese and, in particular, the Chinese side, that can take up to a full day.

Starting and ending the Tibet Motorcycle Tour in Kathmandu would thus mean putting up with the same route and dealing with comparably long border procedures twice on the same tour. Regardless of what other organizers may think, that’s not our idea of a fun Tibet Motorcycle Tour. The road conditions and waiting times would not exactly be the highlights of a ride to Everest Base Camp. In our opinion, it makes no sense to start and end a tour with a focus on Tibet as its highlight in Kathmandu. And besides, a fleet of state-of-the-art bikes is waiting and ready to roll in Tibet.

If you want to discover the best Nepal has to offer – and not just see it as a transit country – we recommend our Magic Nepal Motorcycle Tour, or our spectacular Mustang Motorcycle Tour. On our Tibet Motorcycle Tours we hardly ever take the same road twice – we only have the most beautiful routes, and we don’t waste precious time at borders. We want you to remember your ride to Everest Base Camp as a true highlight.

Where can I stow my bags?2019-12-18T06:24:02+00:00

Your baggage will be carried by the support vehicle. Please don’t pack too much – remember: less is more. From time to time, we’ll have to carry our baggage over short distances to the hotel. Baggage is not insured, so please be sure to purchase your own baggage insurance for the trip if necessary. Your personal items for the day are best kept in the saddlebags or your daypack. Tank bags – including magnetic ones – can be used on the Enfields, but we don’t provide them.

What’s the Classic Bike Adventure travel team like?2022-04-14T10:41:11+00:00

Our European tour guides are skilled motorcyclists and inveterate travelers who love India. They’re resilient in the face of stress and know the history and culture of the regions they cover. Our Indian mechanics are experienced Enfield specialists who all speak English and are happy to help with any technical problem, great or small.
A stand-in rider is always available. More information on our travel concept is available here.

What’s a typical day on the road like?2019-12-18T06:22:49+00:00

A travel day normally begins at 8 am with breakfast. Around 9 am, after a short briefing by the road captain, it’s time for the day’s riding, the mileage of which can vary quite a bit. Plenty of time will be available for lunch and coffee breaks, of course. Depending on the day’s mileage, we’ll reach the destination hotel between 3 and 4 pm.
Since our tours vary considerably, we may also hit the road at 8 am on high-mileage days – which is also nice, because then we have the whole day ahead of us.

What should I keep in mind when riding with a passenger?2019-12-18T06:24:20+00:00

Riding two-up is almost always possible. In difficult terrain or on rough tracks, every passenger has a guaranteed seat in the support vehicle to keep things relaxed for both rider and pillion.

What kind of bikes will we ride?2019-12-18T06:26:11+00:00

Depending on the specific tour, the following bikes are available for our motorcycle tours in Tibet and China: The BMW models G 310 GS, F 800 GS and R 1200GS, as well as the Shineray X5, a 400cc single-cylinder enduro.

What do I need to bring along for a motorcycle tour?2020-01-06T11:30:46+00:00

You will definitely want to bring your riding suit with protectors and a helmet. You will also need motorcycle boots or lighter riding shoes and gloves. While your gear should be breathable in hot climates, you need to be ready for anything at high altitudes and in the Himalayas. We recommend winter gloves, warm socks, liners for jackets and trousers, a scarf and face protection. Rain gear is a good idea if your riding suit is not waterproof.
Please note that we do not hire out clothing. We believe that your own riding gear will fit best and thus give you the best protection. If you forget anything, we’ll find a solution, however. We often have spare gear with us, or we can point you in the direction of a shop.

What do I need in the way of documents?2019-12-18T06:24:09+00:00

You will need your passport, national driving license, international driving license and flight ticket. Please be sure to make photocopies of all of your important travel documents and carry them separately. They can be invaluable in an emergency.

How much is the deposit for the bike on China and Tibet tours?2019-12-18T06:26:03+00:00

The deposit for the motorcycle varies depending on the choice of bike:
Shineray X5 400: EUR/US$ 500
BMW G 310 GS: EUR/US$ 1,000
BMW F 800 GS and R 1200 GS: EUR/US$ 1,500

How big are the groups? What’s the minimum number of participants?2019-12-18T06:24:15+00:00

Groups generally consist of 8 to 14 riders and 2 to 6 passengers. The minimum number of participants is 6 riders.

Do pillion passengers have a guaranteed seat in the support vehicle?2019-12-18T06:24:16+00:00

Yes, all passengers have a guaranteed seat. In bad weather or challenging riding conditions, they can switch to the support vehicle at any time – and back to the bike when conditions improve.

Do I need travel insurance and travel health insurance?2019-12-18T06:24:21+00:00

We always recommend that you take out travel insurance to cover costs incurred if you need to cancel the trip due to illness or other reasons. When shopping for travel health insurance, make sure the policy covers the potentially high cost of medical evacuation to your home country. Both forms of insurance can save you a lot of money in an emergency and we recommend them unreservedly. In many countries, your national motoring organization can provide the coverage you need.

Do I need a driving license?2019-12-18T06:24:05+00:00

All riders must have a valid motorcycle driving license issued in their home country. An international driving license is also required. Be sure to contact the relevant authorities in your home country well in advance for more information on obtaining an international driving license.

Do I need a chinese visa?2024-09-15T09:54:50+00:00

Entry/Visa:

Many nationalities can enter China visa free for up to 15 days. Those include:
Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Malaysia, Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Australia, Poland.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Some other nationalities need a visa to enter China.

Should the duration of the stay exceed 15 days, you must apply for the visa yourself or hire an agency to do so. Due to frequent changes in the application procedure, we recommend using an agency. Although you can apply for the visa yourself, it is only slightly more expensive to hire an agency and often saves a lot of work. The visa for China costs approximately EUR 300. More detailed information on the visa can be found in a specific appendix after booking upon request.
