Travelling to Kyzyl, Tuva from Mörön, Mongolia
How would one get from Mörön, Mongolia (near lake Khövsgöl), to Kyzyl, Tuva, Siberia, Russia?
Our prior research indicates that unless one holds a Russian or Mongolian passport, one will not be allowed to cross the border between these countries, except by air or the trans-Siberian railway.
However, neither of these options is viable, because the nearest airport to Kyzyl is Krasnoyarsk, from which it appears that the only way to get to Kyzyl is via Abakan.
However, the journey between Abakan and Kyzyl is apparently an arduous one.
Are there any alternatives?

To me it seems your only viable option is to use the Border near Koch Agach. Traveling to Tuva is gruesome, international bordercrossings between russia and mongolia are few and far in between. Also keep in mind that on the russian side there is a 50 km border control zone where you are not allowed to travel without permit - except you hold a valid visa and are on your way to or from a border crossing on a main route.
