Mongolia 2013Part 2: Altai (Mongolia) – Khermen-Tsav – Gurvantes

Read the 1st part.

In the morning of July 21 we said good-bye to the guys from Krasnoyarsk who stayed for a bit longer to replace a wheel and headed to Bayan Khongor to meet the guys from Khabarovsk. Soon after Altai the asphalt ended and we drove the terrace prepared for it because the workers were lazy and didn't prohibit this. But the terrace ended as well and we had to go to the steppe. It was all trenched by numerous dry brooks, so driving there was nothing but jumping up and down, and it was pretty annoying.

Mongolia 2013Part 1: Tomsk – Altai (a city in Mongolia)

Read the 2nd part.

As it always happens to me, we were not going to Mongolia. We wanted to see Chara sands. But we could not find any companions: all people said it must be too hard and suggested Mongolia instead. And there were lots of people willing to go to Mongolia, but they all have disappeared before the start. We started alone.

We felt quite OK with it, but just to be on the safe side, Mikha has found another team from Khabarovsk with whom we had to cross Gobi desert. It was certainly a good idea. Well, you can go to Gobi with just one car if you want so, but then you have to be ready for more than anything because you have to be ready just for anything even with two cars.
