Hello Maria,
Sorry to reply so late; I was not going on that forum because nobody was answering my post for a long time and in the meantime I met a great partner for the trip and hopefully more. The trip has changed slightly and we are starting from Irkutsk in Siberia around the 15th June 2011, then Ulan Ude and crossing Mongolian border. For Mongolia, "nothing is written on stones" but probably going to West first Khovsghol lake,then South to Kharkhorin and after Ulaan Baatar. From UB (end July), asking Chinese visa, and we were thinking to take the train to Chengdu (in the Sichuan, mid-west of China) and cycling around the Sichuan and Yunnan (in chinese Himalaya) to finish mid september in Kunming. We might change it all and maybe stay in Mongolia or go to Tibet, but we will see...
What is your dream plan? It would be really great to meet on our bikes in the middle of Mongolia?! When are you going? On your own?
