 | Mongolia Warnings or Dangers | Tips 21 - 30 of 37 |  |
Popular Warnings or Dangers | Other Warnings or Dangers Tips | All Tips (37) Watch your belongings like a hawk. My friend had her bag stolen the minute we stepped out of the train-station.
At the Black Market, the pick-pockets, known as ALI-BABAS, are everywhere. They usually carry a sweater or jacket awkwardly across their shoulders to hide the stolen goods. The Black Market is crowded and there tend to be people pushing. The Ali-Babas know about your money-belts and will poke your backs to test for them.
Another friend had some pencils in his pocket and even those were pick-pocketed away.
During the Naadam Festival, the pick-pockets took advantage of the distracted crowds and made many attempts, especially on tourists. Yet another friend had the pockets of his pants (two of them, one on either side!) slashed and his money fell out. Just be careful! Leave a Comment

The only danger in Mongolia is usually oneself.
Watch where you step or wear boots: I saw some poisonous snakes.
Some people are afraid of eating marmot (because of the bubonic plague). I did eat it and I'm still alive... Leave a Comment

It seems, that winter starts already in September in Mongolia. It was very cold at the end of September. In the night the water was frozen. But the colours of the trees were spectacular!! On the meadows were many flowers blooming. Leave a Comment

Be very careful of the water. The plane from Hohhot to Beijing leaves before the restaurant opens and they supply a box breakfast of a ham and lettuce sandwich. I took a single bite before I realized that the lettuce may have been rinsed in water. It was. Luckily I had so little that with an Alka Seltzer and two Pepto-Bismal tablets I was fine in a couple of hours after the queasiness started. Leave a Comment

NON PARTIRE DA SOLI NELLA STEPPA:
rischio di perdersi, di perdere il cavallo, di farselo derubare, di essere alle prese con bestie selvatiche. Meglio essere accompagnato da una guida se possibile.
SE AFFITATE UNA JEEP:
gli autisti non sono tutti competenti e a volte si rifiutano di postarvi in certe zone per vari motivi: in realta ? perche la loro conoscenza della zone ? scarsa, quindi informarsi bene perche non poter fare il circuito dei suoi sogni puo rivelarsi frustrante. attenzione tutti gli autisti non vi porterano a dormire con i nomadi sotto le iurte, alcuni preferirano insistere per portarvi nei turist camps.
Un buon autista ? anche una eccellente guida perche deve conoscre molto bene il suo paese per poter spostarsi, quindi la guida ? inutile!
Non pensate di noleggiare un veicolo senza autista: nessun cartello ne indicazioni in tutta la Mongolia! Il GPS non vi sar? di una grande utilit?, gli autisti hanno come punti di riferimento le foreste, le montagne, le dune, i fiumi, la vegetazion e malgrado quello a volte devono chiedere al loro strada ai nomadi he vi accoglierano con una ciotola di airak o di te al latte salato!
Potete trovare meno caro ma chiedere bene che cosa include il prezzo, spesso non ? incluso l'autista o la benzina o il circuito non ? modificabile, dovr? essere fatto come lo ha deciso l'agenzia!
UN BUON INDIRIZZO:

NE PARTEZ PAS SEUL DANS LA STEPPE:
risque de se perdre, de perdre le cheval, de se le faire voler, d'etre attaque par des betes sauvages, mieux etre accompagne par un guide si possible.
SI VOUS LOUER UNE JEEP:
Les chauffeurs ne sont pas tous competents et refusent parfois de vous emmener dans certains endroits en invoquant divers pretextes: en verite leur connaissance du pays est limitee, aussi bien se renseigner avant de partir car ne pas pouvoir faire le circuit dont on revait peut se reveler frustrant. Attention tous les chauffeurs ne vous emmeneront pas dormir dans les yourtes, certains prefereront insister pour vous conduire dans les tourist camps.
Un bon chauffeur est aussi un excellent guide car il se doit de connaitre parfaitement son pays donc inutile de prendre un guide.
N?envisager pas de louer un vehicule sans chauffeur: pas de piste balis?e et pas de panneaux indicateurs! Le GPS ne vous sera pas d?un grand secours non plus, les chauffeurs se reperent aux montagnes, dunes, forets? et finisent par demander, en cas de doute, leur chemin dans les yourtes ou vous serez accueillis pour partager un bol d'airak ou de the au lait sale.
Vous pouvez trouver moins cher mais faire attention et demander ce qui est inclus dans le prix, parfois essence ou chauffeur ne sont pas compris, ou bien vous devrez faire le parcours comme l'a decide l'agence et vous ne pourrez rien y changer soit dans le circuit soit dans la duree
UNE BONNE ADRESSE:

Be careful from closed a deal, like Car Rental or organized tour, with Erdenebat Boris (Eric) – UB Mongolia. According to my experience (and also my friends) he abrogative preliminary agreement regarding tour conditions. For example: Vehicle not same vehicle booking, Driver not English spiking, extra payment contrary to the agreement and so on. Mr. Erdenebat Boris (Eric) is a faker. I am warning you.

Beware of the very brazen pickpockets of the Black Market in Ulaanbataar, these guys work in teams and have very little finesse somtimes, for a laugh stick a low value note in an obvious pocket get your mates to do the same, and place your bets. And the lucky pickpocket gets his lunch.
