Hi, I'm trying to find the full list/map of places in Kyrgyzstan where you need a permit to enter. However it seems to be quite a big deal. I even translated a Russian document I found on Caravanistan website but it's hard for me to understand this formal language. So I'd like to ask if I need a bo...

Has any of you guys recently crossed Turkmenistan border with a motorbike and could update information about taxes amount? Any changes? Thank a lot!

We had our letter of invitation prior to our arrival but it took about 4 hours to get our visa. Priority given to locals with local passports. A lot of confusion and waiting around, you go to the first booth and give your passport, then get called into second booth and get asked some strange questi...
