Russia-Mongolia border crossing: Khovs-Gol-Nuur?
Hi everyone,
We're heading off to do Vlad-London in April this year (wow, it's getting pretty close...) and I'm trying to finalise which border crossing we'll tackle from Russia into Mongolia. We'll be coming from Irkutsk, and I'd rather not back-track and take the main border crossing around Sukhbataar. I've heard that the area around Khovs-Gol-Nuur (south west of Irkustsk, above a place called Moron) is pretty stunning. It looks to me like there is a border crossing above this lake. Has anyone used this? The closest town on the Russian side looks like it is called Mondy, and the Mongolian town is called Turt.
I'd love to hear from anyone that has used this border crossing, and whether it is ok to do on motorbikes.
Cheers,
Rob
