The Mongol Rally is supposed to be an adventure not a guided tour. It's about getting out into the world and discovering it for yourself. The starting point and finish line are the only dedicated stops during the rally so you can make up your own route with as much or as little frusturation, impossibility, and getting killed as you like all with no reward at the end except a giant beard (women included) and a longing for some kind of strong libation.

Our adventure will take us through the countires of Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia.

Our route will have us pushing driving our vehicle through the ranges of the Pyrennees, Alps, Carpathian Mountains, Balkan Mts., and the Caucas Mts. Besides all those we will have to brave the enivitable mountian of trash within the car along our trip (we love mother Earth and littering is bad).

Diseases we expect to encounter include Tuberculosis, Avian Influenza, a myriad of STDs (it's get lonely out there), tike-borne encephalitis, and Lyme disease.

Last but not least there are the expected violent or criminal encounters such as Turkish religious fanatical aggression, Turkmenistan border guard hostility, Georgian militant militancy, Romanian mob attacks, Bosnian landmine encounters, tasty team canibalism, and French uptightness.

We think there will be something fun and interesting along the way that should make it all worth while... at least we hope.
