MONGOLIA: OUR ROUTE
Travel MongoliaA few tips on how we went about travelling through Mongolia ;-)
Ulan Ude (Russia) - Ulaanbataar
Take bus from Ulan Ude-Ulaanbaatar - bus leaves in the morning and its cheaper and faster than train, you can buy tickets directly on the bus station. Cash only.
Ulaanbataar - we stayed around in capital around a week. For transportation within the city you can buy a bus card in any little shop with U Money sign and recharge your card. One ride costs 500tgk.
(Btw. Museum of Mongolia is worth a visit as well as wrestling palace is worth a visit )
Ulaanbataar-Murun
We took a Bus from Dragon Station - a night bus at around 17 : 30. It's good to buy tickets at least the same morning. You can also ask a Mongolian to buy it for you online - fast and easy way but website is in Mongolian.
Murun-Khatgal
We took a taxi, which cost us around 70000tgk a person. You can wait for a (Russian) van to fill and then it's much cheaper around 10-15k tgk.
Khatgal
We spent two weeks in the countryside and then took horses from Bayara's guesthouse. It cost us 30k tgk per day per guide (it splits between group) and 15k per day per horse. The route Khatgal-Tsaatal people-Tsaganuur took us 9 days.
Tsaganuur - Murun
We took a Russian van. It takes about 13h and it's a horrid ride. Drivers fly over one big hole of a road, russian van smell of petrol. Brace yourself. It cost 35k tgk a person.
