For those of you who think there's not much in Mongolia but yaks and grazing lands, you will be pleasantly surprised by Ulaanbaatar. This distinctly Mongolian city offers a mix of modern conveniences and old world charm. A lot of the city's events and shopping take place along Sukhbaatar Square, in front of the capitol. Ulaanbaatar also has great restaurants, especially along Peace Avenue.
Can I admit I was one of those people who knew nothing about Mongolia past the yaks? This sounds really interesting! How do you get there? What kind of flights are available?
going to Mongolia hey mitraveler, Mongolia isn't cheap to get to and the costs are pretty high (I think between $2000 to $3000) for a two week vacation including a few side tours. Btw, March and April can be harsh months weather wise to be going to Mongolia so I'd suggest leaving a trip to May or early June. are you planning to go to Mongolia?
