Hi dear Whisky:

¿ How much (in US dollars) would you estimate the average daily cost of cycling the Silk Route, using mainly cheap hotels to over-night and local markets to eat ?

I know that there are a lot of countries along the route, and each one of them will have its own living standard (and associated costs), but, as you have already travelled by some of these regions, maybe you will be able to give an approximate average daily cost for staying at night in cheap hotels and eating in local markets in those countries along the Silk Road

I am "planning" (really day-dreaming) about cycling the Silk Road in the future, trying to cycle about 150 Km/day, but I would need an estimate of how much money would I need on a daily basis, along this route, considering a cheap hotel overnight and market eating

Of course, I would still carry a 1-person tent and a light sleeping bag (I have found in the net 2-pounds 1-person tents and 1-pound sleeping bags !) as my safety net, just for cases where I could not be able to arrive at a cheap hotel at the end of the day, but I am still thinking of the tent and bag as just my safety net, not my daily basis

Thank you for any cost estimate

Greetings
