As said many times, it is no problem to get a multi entry visa for the first time.
I did that too.
All you need is a good visa agency.
Asked them before you apply, if they can do that.

My friend had to cancel this trip, and seems like i have to go by myself.
Trying to gather some data from Mongolian routes.River crossings by myself in middle of nowhere sounds like something i dont want to try, too risky. Can i avoid those if i take center route?

Hi
Just a question, when do travel?
I am also going to Mongolia this summer.
But I will take the northern route.
What I found out, watercrossings might happen everywhere. a bridge was under construction once and so you had to cross.....

Travel agency messed up my visa, and i got 2 week delay..but light on the tunnel.Im going to get visa next monday. I wil start my journey at tuesday morning. Last couple of weeks have been hard tuning of bike,and it "should" be ready for anything.
Because of that visa delay, i have to go first to Kazakstan via Russia, and then back to Russia to Novosobirsk,and then to Mongolia. I will carry on set of tires , and trying to find place where i could : change tyres in Novosobirsk,leave originals to storage,and come back after 2-3 weeks and change originals back.Any ideas where it would be possible?

Back in Finland! It took about 5 weeks and 16.000km , and bike broke down 3 times ![Smile](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/smile.gif) .
2nd day after leaving Finland o-ring from radiator broke and all the cooling water came out. There in Kazakstan main switch broke and there was no power output for ignition, and i had to hitchhike for truck..and in Altay i had to repair radiator blower .
Every time it was easy to get help, and locals there ( Russia-Kazakstan-Mongolia) are extrimely friendly!
Mongolia is kind of "ruff" place but number one country for enduro driving, and i think that i must take another trip there someday..highly recommended!
I took southern route..and if anyone need info about road conditions etc, i will gladly help..
Kawasaki kle is perhaps cheapest (?) bike which can handle that trip after some modifications. Yep i had bad luck with those broken parts, but its good to drive long days, and "only" 175kg weight so it can handle bad roads of Mongolia..
Now making some service, and next trip is going to be Petroskoi- Murmansk- Vayda-Guba..

Congrats on the trip :-)
My wife and me plan to do the same trip this August and I would appreciate if you can share some info about the Mongolian part.
We are on one bike, so I am very interested about the road conditions in Mongolia. We plan to go the south route, the one you took, even though we might change that decision when we come to Mongolia, if the road condition allows it.
I have got a lot of my questions answered allready here:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...a-two-up-81430
but, as you just came back from Mongolia, your experience is most valuable.
I had the doubt whether we should go with a heavy, but very comfortable street bike, or a lighter enduro, and decided for the enduro. But if the Mongolian part seems doable with the road bike....
Thanks in advance.

Mongolia is NOT doable with road bike. I cant tell anything road conditions in August, but 3 weeks ago roads were really bad because of raining.
Tsagaannuur-Khovd is easiest part.First there is asphalt, but after that you go to the mountains ( highest point of the road is about 2700m) and roads there are guite bad. My bike got some hits to the motor armour, but i could continue riding..only the sidestand switch was broken when armour was bendet.
Khovd-Altay is worst part. First there is asphalt about 100km, but after that you and your bike will SHAKE about 200km.
After Altay, there is about 100km asphalt, and after that there is Gobi desert. I liked that place..lot of tracks..camels etc. There is only one deep river crossing in southern route (Bayankhongor).
So, best and only choise is enduro bike, and with stiffer suspension spring because you are riding 2-up..

Thanks! I hope that the river near Bayankhongor will run dry in August :-)
If the roads do not get much worse than this one in Kazakhstan I would be tempted to take the R1200R, but we'll definitely leave the big bike at home, even though she took us successfully to many living and a few dead camels in the past...
