UK To MONGOLIA - HOW LONG??
Hi Guys
just hunting about the forum. struggling to find any advice .... can anyone help.
Planning a trip - start in June 2015 by motorbike .... UK to Mongolia via Turkey, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia and in to Mongolia.
Heading back via Kazakhstan down trough to Turkmenistan and across to Turkey.
has anyone here done this trip???
We have 3 -4 months to do this (with 3 weeks in Mongolia). The question is, in others experience how long should we expect to take to get to Kazakhstan and then across to Russia. This will effect when we choose to start visas from and how we plan things...
Any advice welcome.
Thanks Oli

8 weeks certainly sounds reasonable. I know one of the charity 'rallies' allows about 10 weeks and that's with small cars and 125s.
