Condition of the route (25/08/21): Be careful, check the weather! With the rain, the red sand becomes completely slimy. If you drive down to point 4, there is a real risk of sliding with your car and returning may be difficult!
Condition of the route (25/08/21): Be careful, check the weather! With the rain, the section between the salt lake and the canyon of the forg. riv. becomes difficult. The sand turns into slimy clay and you risk slipping in the potholes if you do not have suitable tyres.

Condition of the route (25/08/21): Before point 2, the track was washed away by the floods of July 2021. 2km before, a new track was built to bypass the collapsed section and to reach the other side of the river bank by a small bridge

Condition of the route (25/08/21): On Route 19 towards Kol-Suu, one of the bridges is broken. The track therefore crosses a small ford.
On the track between Kol-Suu and Torugart, the floods of July 2021 have completely destroyed the bridge which was already in bad condition. The track has been diverted but is poorly marked with fords and many sandy passages in the river bed (level 4). The border post at Torugart permanently blocks access to the track and must be bypassed without any signposting.

Condition of the route (25/08/21): The connection between Route 21 and 22 which was blocked by a rock fall when we passed through in June 2019 is now accessible. However, it is clearly a level 5 trail: very very narrow trail on the side of a cliff, hairpin bends and two very technical fords.
Condition of the route (25/08/21): Between point 5 and 6, a section of the route collapsed due to a landslide (from the beach to the main road via the hills). No bypass is possible.
