So, I just thought I post our final route planned:

Through Europe and Turkey to our first main goal: Georgia!
North through Russia, into Kazahzstan and then to Kyrgyzstan, the second main destination!
North again through Kazahzstan and Russia into Mongolia all the way to Ulaan Bataar.
For the way back we will have to see, how much time we have, hopefully we can go to irkusk and then take the train to at least moskow.

So we sorted out the Russian visa; we will get a visa via telex for multiple entrances.
For all other countries, we decided to choose the "easy" countries, for which we either need no visa at all or a very easy to obtain visa, since this is the first big trip for us and we dont want to risk that it gets too complicated and expensive.

Thanks again.

It actually works out €400 more expensive to rent for three weeks than to ship bikes, we won't have to retrace our steps and will get to spend more time in Mongolia.

We'll be shipping our bikes to Irkutsk and taking three weeks from July 11th to ride to Bishkek via Mongolia, the Russian Altai and Kazakhstan.

Mongolia to Kyrgyzstan in 2-3 days?
It's a 2200-2500 kms ride with 3 border crossings.
I think you are a bit optimistic...

Thanks in advance

I used www.visum4you.at

They got that without any problems.
And they have partners in other countries.
As what they told me, it is the letter of invitation what makes it possible.
If this is from the right authority, then there is no problem getting a multiple entry visa.

I am maybe a bit late, but I have a good experience with Pan Europa. Sent my bike from Tamm in Germany to Ulan Bator for approx 1000 euro.

7 weeks is not much. I would rather send the bike in Mongolia and start the trip there. In this case, you have no pressure about flights for the way back, no issue about crating and shipping the bike.

You can slow down your tempo if you see that you are too fast, or do a little bit more.

That's the way I would do it.

I took 2 months to go from Switzerland to Mongolia and 4 months to come back. And I had a feeling a was almost in a rush... So 7 weeks, don't tell me about it!

Well, I did it in 8 weeks, and I had time to spend 2 weeks just relaxing in Mongolia.

Just on the way back, I did hurry up, but still with no stress at all.
