ULN-LUN-TSETSERLEG

498.48km(Special 298.67km)
The Mongolian empire, which had dominated the Eurasian continent, held meetings called "horal" at the sands in Herlen river. Cavalry corps threatened Europe since its nomadic life and military strategy. Remember that Mongolian nomads used to be soldiers called the Huns.

TSETSERLEG-TSAGANNUUR-TSETSERLEG

613.32km(Special 433.96km)
The rally encounters the Hangai mountains and its average altitude is as high as 2500m. However, there are people living in this high area. They love starry sky and everlasting land and their virtue is "To view flocks and herds." They imply your value system to be changed. In another words, it is a "paradigm shift." Despite those logic, its landscape is more solemn and severe but beautiful.


ETAP-3 "In-between Sky and Land" August 17
TSETSERLEG-JINST

350.00km(Special 350.00km)
Running up on the steep slopes of 3000m above sea level, passing through taiga from Siberia, the plain becomes desert and its temperature rises suddenly. You may see drastic change of landscape. The members who keep concentrated navigation with care of themselves and car, attain the final race.

JINST-JINST

373.47km(Special 350.00km)
We challenge the clod of Altai mountains. We are supposed to fight against three narrow lock corridors. In the first corridor, even a car can go through. In the second canyon, we can remind the concept of time. The third canyon is in the sands. We must find PISTO before going through the gorge. Then we see a lake. The day of beauty and excitement ends at we navigate to the East looking behind the dawn.


ETAP-5 "The Road of the Wilds" August 19
JINST-DALANDZADAGAD

680.03km(Special 680.03km)

DALANDZADAGAD-HATANBURAG

581.94km(Special 581.94km)
We change the route going through midst of the habitat of HORAN: a rare protected animal. The detour route meets high-speed PISTO but we aim camp watching still see various kinds of wild animals. Possibly you see HORAN in far. It may be a legendary unicorn.

HATANBURAG-DZUUNBAYAN

575.34km(Special 575.34km)
The passage of the day exists in the ruin that flourished between middle and modern ages. There is a small temple looking over this ruin. I met a young monk. Why? This question inspired me in the route of black mountains.
