Mongolia: from Border to UB: which route you recommend?
Hi guys,
We will get to Mongolia via the M52 highway in Russia, some time in July.
Then, undecided which road to take: northern or southern/central?
I met yesterday with a colleague of my husband who did the Mongol Rally in 2008. It took them 4 weeks driving in shifts…. Anyway, he said the southern was best as the northern had an impassable river….. really? Also they were on a car, so it’s a different perspective.
I may crisscross a bit to visit some lakes etc… but I was thinking the northern route ( via Ulangom, Murum, …) would be more beautiful and less busy with trucks? We will be on little bikes (a couple of Honda XR125) if this matters…
Any thoughts or advice about which route to pick and level of difficulty? Ideally I would like to spend 3 or 4 weeks before we get to UB, so plenty of time to explore a bit.
Cheers,
