Overland with Kids

A large chunk of our time was spent preparing for the China leg of our trip - to the point of fast becoming the pinnacle of the entire journey in terms of route plan, timings and dependencies.

This is because we needed to know exactly what day and month we intended to transit, for how long and the exit date in order that we could arrange all visas for our trip and our chosen operator could inform the China government & border customs officials. We also needed to know about costs - transiting China using your own vehicle is not cheap!

Following our trip through China, we’ve provided some information plus the actual costs we paid here.
