Ulan Bator Inns - Reviews and Rates

The moon is half way there outside, the chill air penetrates the holey windows of Gana's Guest-house the three tungsten bulbs lighting up the large communal are where I am sitting alone tonight. It has been a long day, not one step closer to seeing sights, always fleeting through the cities we visit, leaving as if we were locals. Not having been...

This is where the train stopped, only stayed here for the afternoon before adventuring out to explore the Mongolian countryside

We awoke early in the morning to catch the sunrise over the mountains, it was bitterly cold but the sight of the valley in the first rays of the morning sun is an opportunity I wouldn't have missed for anything. After breakfast we packed our belongings and boarded the bus back to Ulaan Baatar. Driving through the Mongolian countryside in the mor...

I'm having a few lazy days in UB before I head off to China. It's given me a chance to get my haircut (only 3500 T or just over £1.50 for a wash and cut), catch up on my blog and research a little bit about China, as I leave by train for Beijing on Friday morning. The weather's starting to turn here - when I arrived you needed suncream, while to...

We finally arrived in Mongolia after a very crazy train journey from Beijing. We had to stop at the border and get off the train while the wheels on the train were changed for bigger ones for the Mongolian tracks! This changing of the "boogies" took 3 hours and we were sitting in a shabby waiting room the whole time until midnight. We then had t...

Living on a train for 5 days is a strange experience. A typical day might be as follows: Wake up at any time ranging from 5am to 11am (Moscow time) depending on how many time zones you've passed, and how much you drank last night. Drink some instant black coffee. Look out of the window for a bit. Have a nap. Get up, and get off at a platform to ...

Saavuttiin aamulla kuudelta tanne Ulan-Batoriin. Torstaina alkoi huonovointisuus ja eilen olikin jo kuumetta. Todella arsesta, silla ei kiinnostaisi olla kipena. No, ei auta kuin nukkua ja lueskella taalla UB Guesthousessa. Maanantaista torstaihin oltiin Irkutskissa Olkhon-nimisella saarella mahtavalla Baikal-jarvella. Kolme yota vierahti siella...

We had an amazing stay at the Ger Camp and the first thing we fell in love with were the wide open spaces and rolling hills that are typical to Mongolia. After being cooped up in a small 2m x 1.8m cabin for almost 30 hours it was invigorating to have so much space. The camp consists of about 30 Ger's, a small restaurant and is surrounded by mile...

Ulan le Batard, Heros Rouge a la hache, Conquerant de l'espace et maitre des steppes de l'infini. Mongolie, pays mythique et bouddhique. Asie, Terre jaune de la vie

Ecco che anche qui sta arrivando il momento di andarsene...Negli ultimi giorni abbiamo girato un po la citta guardando di qua e di la. Oggi c'era il 45 anno della mongolia nelle nazioni unite e in centro c'erano un sacco di tende tipiche loro rappresentanti ogni paese. Bello vedere una tenda con la bandiera svizzera e entrare vedendo un sacco di...
