Plan Your Trip
Organised Tours
Mongolia's limited public-transport network makes independent travel
challenging, because the best sights can only be reached by private
vehicle. Most travellers wisely opt for a tour in order to see more of the
country in a limited period of time. Guided trips range from budget camp-
ing tours to high-end hot-air balloon trips.

like a local.
