Day 13
This is a top pick! ... local police of a state visit by the Czech Prime Minister and either a high ranking Buddha priest or the head of state for Mongolia. Either way we were told to get off the road for four hours while they looked around the same temple we were heading for. ...
Day 14
This is a top pick! ... but the views were great so as long as you didn't look out of the front window you were fine. Well about 30km from Ulan Bataar the seemingly inevitable happened and we ran out of fuel. I was pretty livid with Sanka and his fuel-money-stealing tactics ...
Day 11
This is a top pick! ... great but it was a relief to be feeling part of civilised humanity again. We even got our laundry done - phew! Ulan Bataar, Mongolia's capital, is a strange city but by far the least grandiose capital city I've ever been to. Old Soviet apartment ...
Day 12
This is a top pick! Since this was supposed to be our first day of the tour, we had nothing planned and all we managed to do today was head to the "Black Market". It was huge and had everything you could imagine for sale. I bought a soap-dish as my soap-wrapped-in-flannel ...
Day 15
This is a top pick! Steve and I got up for the second time today around 11am and headed into Ulan Bataar centre. We wanted some photos of the main square and also to post some post cards too. We both agreed that the Mongolian stop was well worth it and we are ready ourselves ...
On way to Mongolia!!!
This is a top pick! ... anyone if you ever go to Mongolia. We arranged to go on a trip to on of the national parks in Outer Mongolia, we did the horseriding, ate traditional food stuffs, very good dumplings and even got to experience Mongolian wrestling!!! Very entertaining. ...
Capital Return
This is a top pick! After our escapades in the Wilderness we were driven back into Ulan bataar, the capital, which is an awful looking place. Dirty and too spacious and with loads of those ugly looking soviet buildings that were built by the communists. The people are well ...
The Land of Telescopes
This is a top pick! ... but Chinese tea. But I survived the Transmongolian journey on train #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 ...
Greetings from Mongolia
This is a top pick! ... . 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 very touristy ...
17 days around north and central Mongolia
This is a top pick! ... to retype everything again, I will have to resort to a shorter version. Mongolia means the land of blue sky. We arrived in Ulan Bataar in on a crisp Monday morning. After taking up residence at the Golden Gobi hostel near state department store, I went ...
Ger camp
Despite 8 hours sleep it was not enough, I was like a zombie for the first part of the day. The national museum of Mongolia was our first destination. For about $2 you get entry to the museum and a guide. However for some reason it cost $10 to take ...
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 mistook ...
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 ...
Back from the Steppes of Mongolia
... was a rather more sanitised version than I'd imagined, but the actual views and atmosphere made up for it. We arrived in Ulan Bataar, the capital of Mongolia early on Sunday morning. It certainly was nice to have a hot shower again - those long train ...
Mongolia
... serving, noodle soup...I enjoyed my noodle soup, had a couple beers, and decided to hit the rack since we were pulling into Ulan Bataar at 730 AM. (The whole time on the train we were on Moscow time because all long distance train departures/arrivals run ...
Chaka Khan
... course). Learnt about how the yellow sect Buddhist and Red sect Buddhists had a big fight here, which seemed a bit hypocritical. Back to Ulan Bataar for some sleep and a tour of the town (quite rough with a nice central area) with a nod to Ghinngis ...
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
hi everyone. we arrived in mongolia last night technically, as we crossed the border then, but got to our hostel this morning. when we arrived in Sukhbataar, the border town, we had a 3 hour stop (passport control, custons etc) and got a bit of a ...
Ulaan Bataar
... of a mountain at the south side of the city. The memorial was built by Russians to commemorate the unknown soldiers and heroes of Mongolia. The memorial provided a stunning view of the city. From here it was back to the hotel for a quick rest and a check ...
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
... . Now we are on our way to Moscow... ever closer to Europe - home! --------------------------------------- Queste due settimane di Mongolia sono state spetacolari! Dalla sovrappopolata Cina siamo arrivati nel paese con la piu' scarsa densita' di ...
Lake Baikal: the pearl of Siberia
... way back to the mainland (this time at a slightly more sedate pace). We picked up another train (2 nights, 1 day) which would take us out of Russia and into Mongolia. Saying "da svidanya" and clutching our passports we edged ever closer to the border... ...
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 phenomenal, ...
Mongolia
... 7 days in the Gobi. After a couple of days rest back in UB we set off on an 11 day tour of Central and Northern Mongolia. Altogether different from the plains of the Gobi. The central region is so lush and green and hilly. We did a 5 day ...
Trans-Siberian to Ulan Bataar
July 24, 2007 Beijing to Ulan Bataar by train Our train tickets to Ulan Bataar, which we bought at the CITS office on the mezzanine at the International Hotel in Beijing, together cost us 1998 yuan. We have the deluxe soft sleeper which means we have one ...
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 ...
Vodka and Valium
... is great once you get outside UB. This seems to make sense because Mongolia is a nation of nomads. July 27, 2007 Ulan Bataar, Mongolia We walked around town and found a BD's Mongolian Barbeque, which is setup much like the ones back home and is ...
Naadam
... , who was unusually pleasant, awakened us at the ungodly hour of 5:30. The train pulled into Ulan Bataar and a representative of what appears to be Mongolia's premier tour agency met us (we saw no indication that any other travel agency actually existed). ...
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 ...
