Mongolia is an adventure travel destination. Though some luxury accommodations exist in the capital and some tourist hot spots have more Westerner-friendly accommodations, the real interesting things to see and do are outside Ulaanbaatar (UB) where travelers must be more creative, patient and resourceful. The good news, though, is that your extra work pays off. Unlike other Asian destinations that offer sandy beaches, fruity cocktails and architectural remnants of European colonialism, Mongolia is the contrast. Here, the nomadic traditions have left little architecture and the transition from a Soviet-backed, centrally planned economy to the free market has left travel and tourism infrastructure slow to develop, especially outside UB. While this may make traveling on your own nearly impossible if you don’t speak at least some Mongolian, it provides a great opportunity for you to see Mongolia as Mongolians see it. |
