Yakustsk, Magadan and alternative routes trough Siberia
Hi,
Currently in Japan. Planning our trip trough Siberia. As we are not in a hurry, we are looking at venturing a bit deeper into Siberia. We will arrive in Russia in either Vladivostok or Kholmsk (via Sakhalin), not sure yet. Head for Khabarovsk and from then on we don't really know yet.
Eventually we have to get to Irkutsk for our Mongolian visa. But we would love to go to Yakutsk as well. We are hoping to find some up-to-date information on that region:
- What are the conditions of the road between Never (where the road splits north on my map) and Yakutsk?
- What are the conditions of the road between Yakutsk and Magadan? This road has become infamous by now, and we want to go and have a look where its status comes from ;-)
- Is there another way to get to lake Baikal from Yakutsk besides backtracking?
We are travelling in a 4wd (Landcruiser) and timing would be mid-june to mid-juli.
Thank again to the best overlanding community on the web!
Cheers,
Frederik & Josephine
