Cycling from Dead Sea to Kathmandu

[niche75]

I am going to be cycling from The Dead Sea to Kathmandu in the next few months, and was wondering if anyone has any good maps or knows of where to get good cycling maps to cover the countries of Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India and Nepal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance

Have no idea about your route but it sounds a great ride and puts Shrewsbury to London in its place. Good luck
