Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia and is located in a valley between three mountains. Ulaanbaatar has over one million inhabitants, which is close to half the country’s population. The capital is growing rapidly, because many nomadic families try to find their luck in the capital after harsh winters have killed their animals. The number of polluting cars is also expanding by many every day, which inevitably causes smog.
The city centre is easily recognised by the Sukhbataar square, named after Sukhbataar, who started the revolution in 1921. The governmental building is facing the square and the city’s main road is passing the square. From Sukhbataar square the roads in all directions have some restaurants, tourist shops, hostels and tour operators. For the discotheques you need to take a cab and ask a local guy where to go, because the best ones are in the suburbs. The main attraction in Ulaanbaatar is the Nadaam festival. During this event people from all over the country are travelling to the capital to participate in one of the three national sports, Wrestling, Archery and Horseracing. Participants are dressed traditionally. Best time to visit Ulaanbaatar is during the summer as the winter can be harsh.

The original plan today was for Robbel, Maciek and myself to take a day trip to the Terelj National Park, near Ulaanbaatar. However, after a week of bumpy roads, and even more bumps to come in the following week, none of us could really be bothered. Besides, the weather was a bit disappointing, with a thick layer of clouds in the sky, and what good is a national park with cliffs and mountains and lakes and forests if there is no blue sky to go with it?
Instead we went to the Gadantegchinlen ...

The Elstei camp was in the middle of nowhere but had been set up specifically for tourists, so again not quite the full traditional experience we expected. There was running hot water, flushing toilets and a small restaurant/bar. Definitely not something worth complaining about because this actually made the trip more of a holiday than an endurance challenge.
The landscape was breathtaking. The camp backdrop was something I couldn’t have imagined... mountains set against ...

Arriving back in Ulaanbaatar, we headed straight for a restaurant, to eat something other than mutton and dumplings! The order was placed for steak, chips, egg and salad. To our horror it was mutton steak, but this still didn't stop it from vanishing off the plate in the blink of an eye. Upon arrival back at Gana's, the first destination was t...

There are not words in the english language to describe the kind of cold here in the Mongolian winter. The numbers on the thermometer simply don't make sense, it has been -21 Farenheit (-30 C) this week. The human body doesn't really 'feel' these temperatures, it's only when you get back into the heat and feel the warmth soak into your body do you realize how cold you were. Nothing works like you would expect, anything plastic freezes and becomes as brittle as glass. M...
