BICYCLE TRIP / EN VELO / IN BICICLETTA

by grazy56

BICYCLE TRIP:only one asphalted road, terrible running tracks, during spring there is risk of tornadoes. In front of a montain the GPS will not indicate you which paths are safe on bicycle.EN BICYCLETTE: une seule route goudronée qui traverse le pays, les pistes sont en très mauvais état, risque de vent soufflant en tempête au printemps. Le GPS ne vous indiquera pas quel col est carrossable en arrivant devant une barrière montagneuse. IN BICICLETTA: la Mongolia è attraversata da una sola strada asfaltata, le piste sono in cattivo stato, rischio di vento soffiando in tempesta durante la primavera. Il GPS non vi indicherà quale passo è transitabile davanti a una barriera montuosa.PEOPLE WHO MAKE A LONG BICYCLE TRIP IN MONGOLIA 1. http://www.mountainbike-expedition-team.de/Mongolia/mongo.html#top (waltraud@mountainbike-expedition-team.de; andy@mountainbike-expedition-team.de)2....

HORSE TREK / RANDO A CHEVAL/ CAVALLO

by grazy56

TO RENT A HORSE: is around 10$/day and 150/250 $ to buy one. Don't go without a guide as even you are good riders as the steppe can be dangerous (wild animals) and it's easy to loose your way and also to lose the horses o someone could steal them. A guide costs around 10$/day.Take with you the seat for the horse, as mongolian one are in wood and you will dye as even you put a big blanket under your back... You can also find european saddle in some shops on U.B. or to Black market: AWARE TO PICKPOCKET! price around 60-150$LOCATION CHEVAUX: compter environ $10$/jour pour la location et de 150/250$ pour l'achat. Il est conseiller de s'offrir les competences d'un guide $10$/j$ car il est tres facile de se perdre dans la steppe ou de rencontrer des animaux sauvages ou de se faire voler les chevaux. Recommandations valables aussi pour les cavaliers confirmes. Les selles mongoles sont en bois...

The Night Train

by hayward68

Our tour of the countryside ended in city of Sainshand where we took the overnight train back to Ulaanbaatar. As we had lots of gear with us we decided to book all four berths in one cabin for just the two of us, for a total cost of $11 each. There were two upper and two lower berths with a small table under the window. There is storage under the lower berths and also above the door. The attendant will come by for your ticket and return it at the end of the journey. Linens are brought around though I can't remember if there was a fee. When tea was brought around we thought that was included in the price, but no, it wasn't but it was pretty cheap. There was a toilet at the end of the compartment but bring your own toilet paper. There were vendors selling food outside on the train platform so you can buy food before boarding the train. We had a great night's sleep on the train, basically...
