Time to get through Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia
Hello all, I'm hoping to draw on your collective wisdom of Central Asia.
We will be driving through Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia in September this year. We're entering Russia from Estonia on August 24 and we need to be to China by October 10 strictly to make our tour group start date for the China crossing. I've listed our route and proposed dates below. What do yall think about the amount of time we've left to do this? Possible? Insanely ambitious? We are not afraid to drive up to 8-10 hours/day if needed. We'll be in a 4x4.

Russia: Aug 24-Sep 4 (11 days)
Kazakhstan, Aktobe-Almaty: Sep 4-Sep 13 (9 days)
Kyrgyzstan: Sep 13-Sep 15 (2 days)
Kazakhstan, Almaty-Astana: Sep 15-Sep 18 (3 days)
Russia (to get to Mongolia): Sep 18-Sep 23 (5 days)

THANK YOU in advance for your help!
