Tripadvice needed Europe -> Mongolia
Hi all,
i'm planning a "Silk-road" trip using some helpful guidebooks. Starting from Rotterdam, the Netherlands to UB Mongolia via
- Balkan (Europe) (Bosnia, Bulgaria)
- Turkey
- Iran
- 'Stans
- Russia
- Mongolia.
My biggest question to you is very subjective, but what kind of duration should I think of? I am considering to ride it within 2.5 months, should that suffice?
Budgetwise, I am thinking (apart from the motorcycle) rougly 10k for such a trip.
Will it be easy to wild camp in the countries? Or perhaps the hostels are sufficiently cheap to not even bother..
I want to cross Europe within a week (since I live there, there is always a chance to see it).
Turkey preferably I'd visit Istanbul for a few days, Ankara, the Ihlara valley and the Goreme valley after which I would ride to Trabzon (and on).
Iran; still to be looked into where to go.
Ofcourse Teheran
Perhaps;
Ishafan
Masule
And perhaps even Persepolis
'Stans the Pamir Highway.
I hope you guys perhaps have some good suggestions, but mostly how many days should i bargain for at my job?
Cheers,
Donkey
