Red Devil Redemption: Gobi and Altai Tour
Price: PricelessThe Plan
Everyone who rides knows the Red Devil Izh Planetta from "The Long Way Round" with Ewen McGregor and Charlie Boreman. Well the dream of a 350cc Soviet era Russian 2-stroke to take on the world lives on, and this is where it starts to come true: this is Part 1 of that journey - from Ulan Baatar to the western borders of Mongolia, where we will stop for a while and gaze in the direction of Russia; and make our plans for Part 2.
To maximise the experience, we have taken the opportunity to make this a 2 week trek: one week going from UB, through the Gobi to the Altai, second week discovering the Altai Mountians. Then fly back to UB from Hovd. And yes, we will be riding the actual Red Devil Planetta on this trek.
