We went through a lot of deliberation and hesitation before we finally decided to go Mongolia. Getting there quickly and cheaply was challenging enough to deter us from visiting this country. We were not even confident we would be able to make it there. We flew to Beijing via Hong Kong and travelled northwards to Ulaanbaatar. From the capital, we moved west to Arkhangai aimag and made our way back to Ulaanbaatar stopping in Töv aimag en route. That's all we could cover in 14 days without having to apply for a visa!
