Ulan Bator Hotels - Reviews and Rates

I'm on the final train journey of my first Asian trip, the last leg from Ulaan Baatar to Beijing. The train is fairly comfy,and I’m sitting on my top bunk with my computer, munching on a not-quite-ripe Asian pear.

It’s interesting to start to feel like I’m in Asia. Officially I’ve been on the continent for about tw...

Our last night in a ger and as usual it got pretty chilly after the fire had gone out around 2am. Even the 2 sleeping bags and blankets are no match for the -20degrees. First stop on our way home, Baga Gazrin Chuluu rock formations. Interesting place but no real match for some of the amazing scenery on the trip so far. On the way back to Ulan Ba...

We left lake hovsgol on a high as we had so much fun there, we only had three days left before we got back to Ulan Bataar, our driver assured us that we were about to go through some of the best bits of mongolian country side yet. About 3 hours into our trip our driver had to stop to get the exhaust pipe repaired, it had strated to crack around ...

No sitt eg paa ein internettkafe i Ulan Bator med forferdelege treige pcer. Men 3 kr timen e jo ikkje aa forakta. Det har gaatt ein stund sidan forrige gong eg skreiv no. Eg har skreve litt paa toget no og daa, men sidan novosibirsk har eg ikkje orka. Kanskje det er paa tide med ein liten oppdatering no... Toget me kom paa i Novosibirsk var litt...

Our first task in Ulan Bator was to visit a travel agency called Tseren Tours suggested by a slightly crazy American woman staying/living in our hostel. We had about 6 days to fill with city sightseeing and some kind of trip to the nearby countryside. The friendly man at the agency recommended a 4-day trek on horseback... despite the fact that n...

2 days on the train to Mongolia was pretty awesome, it was basically spent being constantly leathered. Goin through Chinese and Mongolian customs hardly able to write your own name is pretty retarded but we pretty much got thru it unscathed apart from one lad gettin caught pissin in a bottle and having to bribe the official not to throw him off ...

Greetings from Beijing! Day 19 of the Asian leg. MaryAnn's successful battle with the polyp set us back only 12 days but it reduced our visit to Korea from two weeks to two days only in Seoul. South Korea's capital reminds me of Hong Kong in the 80's without the harbour but thankfully with Starbucks. Here's a fews shots from the Changdeckgung (R...

Woke up at about 7am to see Ulan Bator, and to see off all the peeps getting off here: Finnish couple (Erke & Anigka), Bruno & French chick and the girl scouts. Stayed up to watch the countryside, rolling green hills as far as the eye can see, with sporadic herds of wild cows and horses. Went to sleep for a bit and woke up in the middle ...

Right. So much for that staying in after dark thing. Instead, I joined a bunch of people from the guesthouse, and we went out dancing at a nightclub. I danced with a few Mongolian soldiers but since I hadn't brought my camera (safety first!), I don't have any shots of me dancing around with a Mongolian soldier's hat on. :( That about ends where ...

Salut à tous, Un petit mail avant de partir vendredi matin. Cette fois-çi, je vais chercher le dépaysement total en Mongolie. Qqs mots sur les côtés attrayants du voyage : on y trouve la peste (transmise par les marmottes), le choléra et la plupart des chiens ont la rage...plein de chose sympathique à vous raconter en perspective (j'ai tout prév...
