You do really make it look like fun. Also, we fell in love with throat singing earlier this year when a troupe of throat singers from Mongolia came in 2nd on Asia’s Got Talent.

Karen, I have to say, Mongolia is definitely an adventure. If you are a luxury traveler, it may not be for you, however, if you can camp go for it! The throat singing was amazing, especially since it was a private show!

Phoebe, Wow! You are full of surprises! I think Mongolia is still way off of the beaten track. We loved it!

There were no foreigners driving Russian campervans back then but my friend and I hitched a ride in a Russian jeep, having flown across the country in the dodgiest plane ever, to Hovd, from where we trekked with horses, camels and yaks staying with local nomadic families. It really was the adventure of a lifetime, though just like you, I’d love to go back! UB certainly didn’t have an Irish pub back then!

Rhonda, They speak Mongolian and Russian, but like everywhere else English is spreading quickly. I never let language slow me down. I am adept at hand gestures and smiling…I think!

Mongolia wasn’t even on my bucket list before reading this, and now I really want to visit. Everything you described and the images, so interesting. I love your expression on the camel. What a beautiful and unique place. A few of the photos remind me a bit of the Bedouin camp we visited in the Sahara, but the other image is are so different. I am wondering what language is spoken, as you mentioned people are happy to talk to you.

Piritta, Me too! I really want to go back and spend more time in the Orkhon Valley and maybe go up to Lake Baikal! I loved it.

Erika, We went for a nine day trip around the country and two days in UB. It was adequate and we saw a lot. I would definitely book it. If you read my other Mongolia posts, it tells you who we went with, and I would highly recommend you contact them as well. They’ll do everything for you!

What great tips! I’d really like to go to Mongolia and it is actually one of the next places I’d like to visit. I was thinking of going next year for 10 days or so. Do you think that is an adequate amount of time to get a taste of the country? It seems absolutely fascinating and I’d like to go for more time but, since it is also a priority destination for my boyfriend and he gets very little time off work, I have to make it work with his schedule too.
Great photos too.
Erika
