AdventureRide of a Lifetime
Multiple Countries, Thailand
90 days
Despite sitting in the Thailand listings, this Bike Tour Asia expedition is not a Southeast Asian loop. It starts at Chiang Mai and finishes ninety riding days and roughly 20,000 kilometres later at Piran on the Slovenian coast. The published country sequence runs Thailand, Laos, China and Tibet, then Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, including a ferry across the Caspian Sea, then Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey before Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia, with Italy, Austria and Germany also named. Landmarks along the way include Dali and Lijiang in Yunnan, Lhasa and Everest Base Camp, Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan, the Pamir Highway, Samarkand and Bukhara, the ruins of Merv, Baku, the Caucasus, Cappadocia and Istanbul. The operator does not publish a day by day schedule for the route.
