Getting There & Away
BUS
A daily bus goes to Ulaanbaatar at 10am (T17,000, eight hours). You can buy tickets
from the ticket office ( 9am-2pm & 3-8pm) at the bus stand two days in advance, and
it's wise to do so if possible, though UB-bound minivans wait to sweep up ticket-less
passengers, so you won't get stranded.
It's sometimes possible to snag a seat on the daily Ulaanbaatar to Tsetserleg bus if you
wait on the main road at around 1pm to 2pm and flag it down as it passes. Otherwise, try
to find a shared minivan heading west. You may have to charter your own vehicle,
though (about T60,000 plus petrol).
HITCHING
Hitching along the main road between Ulaanbaatar and Kharkhorin is fairly easy, but re-
member that a lot of vehicles will be carrying tourists, so they may not want to pick up a
hitchhiker. Getting a lift between Arvaikheer and Kharkhorin is less likely, but if you're
patient something will come along.
