mongolia's roads conditions
Hallo everyone,
i'm plannig a trip for next year 2018 in august in Mongolia.
I would be know about road conditions, from Ulan Bator to the russian border in the east, near russian town named Tashanta.
I think the best way (R1200GS ADV) is the Jargalan - Altay - Hovd - Olgij , but i'm waiting from yours advices
If there are possibility of problems, I can come back from my entry border, Kjachta (to Ulan-udè)
Thank'you at all who answer me

I think you mean the western border at Tashanta.
Yes, you can take this way, should be ok on a 1200GS.
BUT: It depends on the driver!!!
You need to know what you are able to do !!!
And don't take the northern route to Ulaangom with the 1200GS

The Southern road is almost entirely surfaced nowadays, save for a pass between Khovd and Olgii which is (usually) not very difficult so anybody should be fine on a big, heavy bike.

Ohh very good news, thank'you.
Yes I want to take the southern road, from UB to Tashanta. I'm only a normal driver, I already was in Iran, Syrie Jordanien, or Russia, Morocco, and all countries of north afrfica (excluding Lybien) and I think i will have not big problems, if the weather will be ok .
If not, probably i will have problems with rivers who cross the roads

on the southern road no big Problem.
There is one rivercrossing between Khovd and Olgii.
But when you reach it, you missed the turn to the bridge with is a little bit north

The Southern road is almost paved there is little patch left from Gobi Altai to Khovd. The road from Khovd to Ulgi is paved partially already and expected to be open by July.
You still will be able to make on GS1200 both middle road and Northern road. If you take Northern road take a bridge South side of Achit nur. Middle road and Northern road is much interesting rather then Southern road.
I live in Bayanulgi 100 km from Tashanta the last major town in Mongolia before leaving to Russia swing by our bikers guest house when you are here!
