This 2000 kilometer itinerary will allow you to discover all that Mongolia has best to offer. A journey through time and space where crystal clear lakes rub shoulders with extinct volcanoes across the infinite steppe. 

From Oulan Bator we go west to discover Karakorum, the old capital. After a bath in restorative spas, we set off to discover 2 of the most beautiful and emblematic lakes in the country: the Terkhiin Tsagaan and the magnificent Kovsgol, just south of the Siberian border. 

For lovers of wide open spaces, adventure awaits and you will not be disappointed. The tracks present hardly any difficulty apart from a few passages which can be a bit technical.

Be careful, the same village can have several different names which adds to the confusion. The best application is Komoot which can be used off line and whose names roughly match those of the map of Mongolia. Google maps is only recommended to find hotels. The names of the villages are often different. 

This route that you can download on your phone is not 100% reliable. Indeed, a river whose water has risen due to rain may prove to be impassable at the location indicated on your GPS. The tracks are in perpetual motion but the general direction remains the same.
