Great tour.i did kayak touring in Mongolia eight times. Mongolia steppe is very beautiful.

Hi Nicolas, I read your blog and saw your videos, what you did is really amazing. I plan to do a bike tour as well, from France to Mongolia. I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the place at 12:30 , by the lake?With the music and the landscape it was so beautiful it almost made me cry!Such a wonderful area, i can't believe that kind of place exists on earth. If you could tell me, I would be so grateful; I can't cross Mongolia without seeing it, even if there's probably other beautiful places! Anyway, congratulations and keep up the beautiful pictures and videos!!!

Anyone who is interested in understanding what steppe is must watch this video. No rubbish commentary, beautifully exposed steppes. Understandably each and everything without any commentary. Lush green plain land on such a high altitude, amazing.

Love your videos ♥️ i leave in march from belgium to Luxemburg to Switzerland to Italy to Spain to france and back home 😊😊 your videos really inspire me.

Hey Nico! It was great to be part of your trip i Mongolia. Starting my own world trip in spring 2017. We might meet on the road again :-). Mark

YOU NEED MORE VIEWS! AWESOME!!!

What a great video.

Awesome!

So many rivers to ford! The perpetual unloading and reloading must have been taxing.

The best trip. Thank you for sharing.

its nice to revisit this video again. It is always inspiring to see your advantage. Are you still riding? If so where are you now?

Looks great. Hopefully, you come back and do it again.

nice video beautiful nature and music

so amazing..wish i could do the same.. thank you for sharing

There would be less indifference in this world if everyone would bike this way 🚴🖖

I think you have the most beautiful and amazing woman for company. Thanks for sharing again.

thanks man! Your budget depends on several factors but mostly on your standards and how much paid comforts you want. You can spend as little or as much as you want. I've always been a rock-bottom traveler. I spend about 7-8 USD a day on average, 10 in some countries and 5 or less in others. But not many people are like this, but I have more than enough and feel privileged to live like this.

Love this, thanks for posting your experience. Can you tell me where you got the music from?

I agree with you, Nicolas Marino. The Mongolian music is the best in the world especially the folk songs. They talk about nature and steppe.

hi there , great footage here , we are planning a similar journey and i have a technical question . Did you have 26 or 700 rims ? they look larger than 26?? thanks in advance

+Claire Millar Hi Clarie, we managed it with 700 cc, but I don't recommend it at all if you go truly of road like I always do. That was an exception because we had been given those bicycles for a test drive. The 700 cc was a true pain in the ass most of the way. But if you don't go to extremes like I do, then you'll be fine

This looks amazing! Didn't you sometimes wish you had tires with a little bit more width?

Nico! Una pregunta: Para ir por caminos, recomiendas ruedas de 26 o 28? Y por qué? Gracias, un saludo!

@80lives

6 жыл бұрын

26x2 sin ninguna duda. Necesitas ruedas que se agarren lo mejor posible a terrenos malos y a su también no sean un peso en buenos caminos. Ese para mí es el balance perfecto, pero eso es porque yo voy de un extremo al otro y las uso en todas las condiciones. La mayoría de las personas va bien con las 28 x 1.75. Ahora bien, si has notado, en Mongolia, teníamos unas 28x1.75 también. Era sólo circunstancial porque hacíamos un test drive de esas bicis. No recomiendo ese tamaño para esos caminos.

Nicolas, pienso hacer Mongolia hasta China en bicicleta también pero no estoy seguro acerca del promedio de gastos, podrías darme una idea de cuánto se podría gastar en el recorrido? Obviamente cada quien hasta a su manera y de diferente forma pero quisiera tener una idea. Muchas gracias por cualquier repuesta.

Nicolás Marino no you are not, this is by far one of the best movies, i watch alot of movies people make when traveling, for me thats the best way to see how it is. your camera has sutch a great quallity, what is it, are you traveling with pro setup? im planning myself a trip tru mongolia and i wo der, from where to where did you drive within mongolia (included the other video), and how was it to find food and water during your trip, its a bit a concern for me, special on cobi. for me its also a question from where to where i want to go, i love to cross from west to east, but if you fly in you ended in the middle, if you arive from kazachstan the only road includes russia what is a bit of a problem, also kazachstan is so big and so stretched out its craze, im only planning on 5 to 6 months so its easier to fly to asia and start paddling there instead of losing months starting in western europe what is boring as fuck to paddle. i love your videos and i hope you post more and more, keep up the good work! and tips and tricks always welcome!

You guys only had 13:49 min from this entire trip ? from 2000km..... it should be more like 15 hours of video maybe you guys took car...

what would have happened if you got a flat tire :P
