The Underbelly
This is a top pick! Sainbainuu This week I began work at World Vision. It has been an eye opening week, that's for sure. On Tuesday, I visisted the city's heating tunnels underground the city, where the street children and other homeless people live during winter. The ...
Bayan Olgii and back to UB
This is a top pick! ... me was definately Tavan Bogd (literally translating to "The Great Five") which are the five peaks which mark the border between Mongolia, Russia, China and Khazakstan. We stayed with Marembeck, a friend of Viktor's friend Gans, and his really nice (very ...
On way to Mongolia!!!
This is a top pick! ... that grim official Russian experience!!! the Mongolian customs officers were pretty thorough too but less pompous somehow. We arrived in Ulaan Bataar at 7am bleary eyed and clueless to where we would stay. a lady offered us accomadation and transport ...
Capital Return
This is a top pick! ... really the only decent place to stay in the City. The Ger we stayed in was much nicer. We were glad to leave Ulaan Bataar, there's just something wrong with the place, but I would definately come back to Mongolia again to go back into the ...
Failed dinner parties and other stories
This is a top pick! ... wife a few metres away...but there you go, that is the way here - which might explain why the men never come across as sleezy, just opportunistic. I digress again! The singing - it's one of the many things about Mongolia I will miss. Arohanui, ...
The Land of Telescopes
This is a top pick! ... #23 which glided over the Great Wall, through Inner Mongolia and the endlessly flat, but spectacular Gobi Desert and arrived in Ulaan Bataar. Due to serious time/money restraints myself and Chris immediately embarked (after a few beers of-course) on a ...
Greetings from Mongolia
This is a top pick! ... - it's fantastic. I'm not sure I'd be so enthusiastic if I hadn't just come from Russia, but I would definitely come back to Mongolia. We arrived in Ulan Bator at about 6.30am on Tuesday morning and we were taken straight out to our Ger Camp. It was ...
Ger camp
... to the back and set off, stopping for essentials such as beer and crisps along the way. Getting away from the city was a relief, Ulaan Bataar is a lovely place, full of mostly lovely people, but you have to be constantly on you guard looking out for pick ...
Back at UB
Just spent saturday afternoon relaxing at UB guesthouse when we got back from the trip, watched a dvd and then went for a nap cos was still feeling a bit drowsy. Nam told me that was common and that i'd probably feel like that for a couple days before i ...
train k23 to Mongolia and more
... a solid entry, sorry. We are trying to find a place to upload some more pics too. The train from Beijing to Ulaan Bataar (the capital of Mongolia) was interesting and boring at the same time. We had a 4 bed compartment and our 4th person, who I ...
Irkutsk to Ulaan Bataar (UB)
... was very calm -mongolian horses are infamous for being a little wild!! The hack was fab - we saw some fantastic scenary of mongolia. Everything was going very well, until about 10 minutes before the end of the hack and something scared my horse.....as a ...
Chaka Khan
Wrecked after the 6500 fantastic kilometres on the train, arrived in Ulan Bataar. Had quick and badly needed showers in our hotel. I think Mongolia is the craziest place we've ever been. Were up on horsies (Ger's was a bit snotty and ruined my ...
Mongolia: the Robin Experience
... about the group email, I know their a bit annoying, but it's the best I can do right now. SO.....I have been in Mongolia 10 days now, and tomorrow we leave for Russia, and Lake Bikal. UlannBaatar is an incredible city, and although it has changed ...
Arrival in Mongolia

Mongolia
Okay, in order to get into Mongolia we had to endure a 10 hour wait between the borders, mostly locked in our cabins waiting for pieces of paper to be moved around. I was expecting a long wait but maybe not 10 hours! We spend hours either sitting on the ...
Gers, yaks, camels and horses
... con la piu' scarsa densita' di popolazione (2.5 milioni di abitanti per un'area che copre quasi mezza Europa). La capitale Ulaan Bataar e' una delle citta' piu brutte che abbiamo visto fino ad ora. Casermoni dell'era sovietica lasciate nel degrado quasi ...
Trans-Siberian Railway!!!
... of September we'll be leaving on the Trans-Siberian railroad, beginning in Moscow...5 days later we will arrive in Ulaan Bataar, the capital of Mongolia. Hopefully by then I will have some time to fill you in on everything in detail; Russia is ...
Mongolia
... cows, horses or a mixture of all three. They live on a diet of milk, meat (mainly mutton) and rice. Vegetables are scarce. Ulaan Bataar is the captial city. Its a place where you're likely to see a real mixture of lifestyles side by side. ...
Mongolia
I awoke to spacious and amazingly green countryside in southern Mongolia. Strange observation - I've seen more birds in two hours on this train in Mongolia than I did in one years time spent in China! After some interesting scenery we pull into Ulan ...
Ulaan Bataar, encore
... . He explains how difficult it is to keep up with the pointless tourist decals when he's driving around the countryside of Mongolia non-stop, 8 months a year. I agree. The only place he can renew them is in Ulaan Baatar. I ...
Wide open Mongolia
Train to UB. 7 hour wait at border. Made many acquaintances at Golden Gobi took a brief trip into outback. Stayed in a ger with Mongolian nomads. Drunken nights at disco with Irish and Germans and Dutch. Had ear pierced by German carpentars on a ...
Ulaan Bataar
Right now I am in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia. It's been a surreal experience considering that this is the first non-Muslim country I've been to since Greece. I never realized how far reaching the Muslim religion had spread its influence throughout the ...
The real Mongolia
... lunatics. Our destination was the Tereij National Park to do a spot of trekking in the mountains. As we were pulling out of Ulaan Bataar we noticed traffic police lining the roads spaced about every 50 yards for as far as the eye could see. I asked ...
Time for longjohns
Arriving in the capital of Mongolia we get our first blast of winter. After 2 days on a sleeper bus & train we are quite tired. Fortunately we have been recommeded a place to stay so we bring along our new friends, Jo & Sara, from the bus and get ...
The scary part is, it looks like home...
As the train rocked along the brown semi-arid waste of the Gobi, the thought kept coming back to me, this looks like Montana in ...
Back In Ulaan Baatar
