If regulations have not been eased, you will need to pay an official guide in China. Friend of mine traveled from Wladiwostok to Thailand pre-covid and paid ~$5000 for this "service" (the guide was riding as passenger on the motorcycle). However, he was not allowed into Tibet. I doubt that border crossings from China to India are feasible. My friend initially planned to continue to Nepal via Myanmar, but is now contemplating to go further South (subject to resolving import duty in Thailand).

I believe you'll need a special Tibet travel visa in addition to your China visa.

There are tour companies that organize all this for you, for a price, so better in a group.

I personally think touring India on a motorcycle sounds very dangerous....Not from the people but from the horrible traffic...Cows, pigs, children, bicycles,carts,insain traffic back-ups....O-man
