If you type 'Mongolia' at the top of the page and press 'search' - you will find many references to Mongolia and the answers you seek.

Grant Johnson 26 Dec 2005 20:56

Tell me where you want to get in Mongolia. What is your route? I can recommend a southern way from Tashanta to UB via Hovd, Altai-Gobi, Arvaiheer, etc. There are 1450 km off-road (Tashanta-Arvaiheer)and 450 km paved road (Arvaiheer-UB)
The road condition in mountain areas is bad. The much depends on weather.
You will need in about 250-300 km without refueling. The fuel is not so bad. In a small settlements I had to refuel 76-octane only. But I had no problem with my Africa Twin because of it.

Hi Weber.
I met two Czech drivers in the last summer. They came back from Mongolia to Czehia via Russia. They was stay at my home in Togliatti for 2 days. The name of one of them is Marek. He live near Czechia - Germany border. Last september I have taken their route across Mongolia. Marek is very good russian speaker. He told me a lot of about Mongolia. It was a very good help in my journey.
Greetings from Russia.

What motobike was chosen by you for this trip?
If you will go alone you have to carry a lot of luggage incl spare parts and tires.


Weber 7 Feb 2006 15:01

I have 2years old BMW GS650 Dakar with aluminium boxes.

I have next plane: I start from Prague approximately 10.May. I will go to Moscow, catch train to Barnaul. There I visit my friend and Altaj- Us-Koksa (there I was 15years ago with kayak on river Katun).
Next I continue to Mongolia over border Tasanta. I will go by direction to city Altaj, down to Gobi visit Czech geologic expedition and next north to lake Hovsgol and over border Kjachta to Bajkal. From Irkutsk I will go by train to Moscow. I think, that I return home on 30.June.
I look anybody for all trip or part of trip. If I don’t look, I will go single.

Alex Rubtsov 14 Feb 2006 21:29

Hi Weber.

Be carefully on the mountain road between Ulgiy and Hovd at Buratyn pass. There is a big plateau with a lot of small rivers and lakes. And I think it will be possible to see a big water there in spring or after big rain.

Weber 15 Feb 2006 16:10

Thansk you Alex! If I will have bad weather, I rent GAZ and guide! I am carefully.

Alex Rubtsov 15 Feb 2006 21:39

Hi.

If you will go from Altai to Bayanhongor take left towards north. The beaten track go south via Ulaan Shalin Holloy. It is a Gobi. The southern road is better than northern one. But there is no any bridge above the Baydrag river. You will see it near Boon Tsagaan lake. It is a no problem for UAZ, ZIL and GAZ but for the bike...When I was there in autumn it was possible to pass the river with a motorcycle. But it always depends on weather.
