Latest time of year to cross Russia?
Hey folks. I've certainly done my research, extensively so, but wanted to check with a few folks to see what their thought are.
I was 6 weeks in to my RTW trip, when things all went wrong and we had to return home to re-apply for a few of our visas. Russian, Mongolian and Khazak ones were rendered invalid (Don't try to travel with an African) *sigh*
Anyway, we are about 60 days behind schedule and wish to continue. However we are a bit worried about how the weather may change across our projected route.
The plan was to enter Russia from either Georgia OR possibly from Semey in Khazak (depending on whether we could cross the Caspian into Turkmenistan) and then take the long route east toward Vladivostok. I'm not sure we were adventurous enough yet to make it all the way to Magadan
However from looking over the temperature charts it seems that things really close in as September passes. Is it even possible to cross Russia as late as October? How about making it to Japan by November/December? (worst case scenario)
Thoughts?
