There's a lot to see in this incredible country, and the best way is to grab a few other travellers, a driver and a guide, jump into an old Russian van and take off for as long as you can possibly manage. We've divided our posts for Mongolia into what we did around Ulaanbaatar, and a post on our 16 incredible days touring around the North, Central and Gobi. 

If you're keen to see more, check out our video here; Chapter 6 of our overland journey, through Russia and Mongolia

And if you're on the same route as many other travellers and your next stop is China, click here for some tips on organising your Chinese visa whilst in Ulaanbaatar.
