TransMongolian

by rsudic - last update: Dec 25, 2006

By train

TransMongolian train
We entered Mongolia by TransMongolian train from Beijing. It was strange, couldn't go to toalet (doors are locked) and couse of bogie-changing.
Trip was awsome, beautiful landscapes, desert Gobi, vast plains, numerous hills, unpopulated countryside....and of course fun/crazy people in train make this trip special
city view from Zaisan memorial

Ulaan Baatar

Nice city, almost non-asian in feeling. Not so many things to see but outside of the city nature is well preserved and absolutley MUST to go around.
Sightseeing in UB: Gandan Khiid; Winter palace of the Bogd Khaan; Sukhbaatar square; Zaisan memorial.
Try to be there during the Naadam festival, we came week after unfortunatly.

Gorkhi-Terelj National Park

80km northeast from UB, hiking, rock-climbing, rafting, horse riding, or just sittin' and watching spectacular scenery around you.
