Just do it. Being in Mongolia is easy.
Ulaanbaatar is ugly but nevertheless interesting. There is much to learn. I liked the big market with its yurt parts section very much.
The Altai is very far away from Ulaanbaatar. Very far. It is a 1.400 km tour mostly on sand tracks. I would use a car and plan a week for just the trip from Ulaanbaatar to the mountains. But only if you hurry and don't want to stop and have a look left and right of the main track.
To enter the Altai you need a special permit because it is border area. But you get that easily in the capital.
- Melatonic 4y agoI think I was looking at a small small flight that went from Ulaanbataar most of the way toward the Altai. I forget where. Anywhere else nature wise you would recommend going?
- snickerer 4y agoThe nature is open, wide, and great verywhere in Mongolia except Ulaanbaatar. If you like the open steppe. Remember that you need a vehicle or a horse to get somewhere. There are domestic flights. But when you leave the airfield you need something to transport you into the mountains. If I would fly to Mongolia, I would buy a small Chinese motorcycle there (200ccm, you get a new one for 1k$). If you are a horse rider then Mongolia would be your paradise. In this case I would be a horse. But I am sure you can find a guide who drives you with his car whereever you want.
