Ulgii to Khovd

July 31, 2016:
Ended up staying a couple days in Ulgii, meet some other riders, Russians, and hung out with the them. I was planning on taking the Northern Route across to Ulaanbaatar however I had been told by a few sources, one being the Blue Wolf Tour owner, that rains had swollen rivers and caused a lot of wash outs and it wouldn't be a good idea to attempt it alone.
The Southern route it is, off to Khovd!:
