Special Tour
Four expeditions we consider our signature rides: the Ancient Tea Horse Road to Lhasa, the Silk Road across the Pamir Highway, Patagonia to Tierra del Fuego, and thirteen countries of Eastern Europe. They run from fourteen to twenty-one days and are the longest, most demanding journeys MotoTours Asia organises.
Why these four?
Because each one is a route people plan for years and then never ride. They cross borders that need paperwork months in advance, climb passes that are open only part of the year, and reward the rider who commits three weeks rather than three days. MotoTours Asia has run guided motorcycle tours since 1995 and these four are where thirty years of logistics actually show.
The four signature expeditions
| Expedition | Days | Route |
|---|---|---|
| China Self-Drive: Tea Horse Road | 14 | Kunming to Lhasa and Everest Base Camp on the G318 |
| Silk Road: Pamir Highway | 14 | Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan |
| Patagonia: Argentina & Chile | 21 | To Tierra del Fuego, the end of the earth |
| Eastern Europe | 18 | Thirteen countries in eighteen days |
Who should ride one?
A rider with a licence, real road experience and three clear weeks. Not a first motorcycle holiday. You should be comfortable with long days, changing weather and altitude on the China route. If that sounds like too much for now, start with a Vietnam tour or a shorter Global Odyssey and come back to these.
