Hi all!
I’ve decided to travel to Mongolia while backpacking, I’ll hopefully have around 10-14 days in late August to visit, but I’m struggling to put the itinerary together and need help / have a few questions.
Unfortunately booking a prepaid tour is vastly out of my budget.
Some of my current goals while staying are:
To visit the Gobi Gobi Desert
Ride a horse (optional)/ See Altai mountains
Stay in a Ger on a nomadic farm
See eagle hunting, if that’s possible at that time of year? I know I’ll just miss the festival.
Is it difficult to book this all yourself? As I’m struggling to do it on the internet, would it be better to do it while I’m in country?
How hard is it to book internal flights? Can I do them once I’m in the country / how often do they leave & return?
Any other off the beaten track / must sees?
I’d love to see the city while I’m at it but would like to prioritise seeing local culture & your vast landscapes and nature.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance, can’t wait to visit your beautiful country!
