Tourism isn't a huge industry in this country, so when we started researching how to travel in Mongolia, we found very few resources. To remedy this, we've made our own video filled with tons of tips for traveling in Mongolia after spending three weeks in the country! In this video, we answer questions like: where to go in Mongolia? What is Mongolian food like? Can you travel on your own or do you need a tour, how far in advance should you book things? How do you book tours? What is a good budget for traveling in Mongolia? How much time should you spend in Mongolia? Do you need a visa? When is the best time of year to visit Mongolia? How do you rent a car in Mongolia? What are the roads like? Can you use credit cards or is it cash-only? and so much more! During our visit to Mongolia, we explored the country in quite a few ways. We went around Ulaanbaatar on our own, we hired a private driver for a day to visit Terelj National Park, we joined a tour for 5 day to see the Gobi Desert, and we rented a truck and drove around Central Mongolia by ourselves while camping in our rooftop tent. By the end of our trip to Mongolia, we felt like we had the chance to test our many different ways of seeing the country, which is why we feel capable of sharing lots of good information about how to travel in Mongolia. We made video about each of these adventures: Arriving in Mongolia: https://youtu.be/JwszRMwkcvY Exploring Ulaanbaatar: https://youtu.be/vKuMF6fKTaQ Day Trip to Terelj National Park: https://youtu.be/tlpDi8c37yE 5 Days in the Gobi Desert: https://youtu.be/2u3JzwUFnRI Unguided Road trip (Camping): https://youtu.be/Z53j2QjJhK4 and https://youtu.be/mD_VVX04nds Mongolia Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSSlYnwzYFH4RR1lvd2blVpQic5wjGfw- We talk about what to pack for Mongolia in this video, but if you want to see everything we pack for full time travel, you can check out our latest packing video here: https://youtu.be/zGIvjkpL3Mo This was our first time in Mongolia, but we are certain it will not be our last!!
