Hi Zimi,

I am still in if we can match our dates...

Kim

Chris (or anyone else who knows!), do you know whether the border at Kyakhta (between Ulan Baator and Ulan Ude) is open on weekends or not? I've only got two weeks off work, so need to get the timing right so I'm not sitting at the border for two days on each end!

Somewhere I thought I read that it was not, but I can't find anything on this site. I've looked at the Russian border guards' website, but it is not very clear, so I'm hoping for confirmation from someone who has been there (or who has spoken with someone who has been there...).

Hi guys,

We are a group of four Australians on 650s currently in Uzbekistan heading east. We will be riding the Pamir Hwy then Mongolia then the BAM and/or RoB.

We have run in to a few riders so far but it would be great to hear everyone's schedules and get a few contact numbers. Mine is +372 8104 3312

See you on the road!

Afraid I don't know. The border at Tashanta/Tsaganuur in the west is closed on Sundays, I believe. I intend on leaving/re-entering Mongolia mid-week between UB and UU. I'll try to remember to ask. It'll be in the week of the 8th July. Don't know if this will help you.

Usually I don't answer my own questions, but after a couple of inconclusive responses I did more research on the web, and found a site which lists all border crossings and their operating hours. I decided it would make more sense to post it in the "Mongolian Border Crossings" thread:

According to this site, it is open on weekends.

I'm still not going to risk it! Will aim for early to mid-week :thumbup1:

Sat in Nomads House, Bishkek waiting for our Kaz Visas if anyone is around for a beer bier
