7 Days In The Gobi, Mongolia

[@iinarrab19]

Just got a nine day tour with Sunpath last August and we literally had the same ger camps on the first few days! It was pretty great!

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Fantastic! It is such a great trip, glad to hear you enjoyed it 😃

[@iinarrab19]

@@GoingTheWholeHogg Yes. It was very similar to what you had but we had Orkhon Valley. I have some videos on my channel about our journey in Mongolia! And I was with another travel vlogger named Jason Billam. He has plenty of videos too in his channel!

[@ThePinkPerson]

Ahhh this brought back so many memories!! Honestly one of the best weeks I've ever had, thank you guys so much for documenting it so beautifully

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

For us too! Enjoyed working on it when we've had time in recent weeks. Glad you like it Isla!

[@ishkamisheel1421]

wow, u guys are amazing! as a tour guide in mongolia, i really love your video and everything.

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Thanks Misha! Glad you enjoyed it, we certainly did!

[@StatK]

This video was so awesome! Some of the best shots of Mongolia that I've ever seen. You guys deserve 10000x more followers and more, I look forward to future videos. Cheers.

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it, we certainly did : ) Got a new Korea video out later today!

[@cameronsbradley]

Loved the video. You got some really cool shots in there too. Im assuming you've been putting the drone to work?

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Thanks mate. You got it. That was our first drone outing after the Korea test flights. Managed to crash it off the edge of a cardboard box filming the opening scenes. Will be lots more to come from the last six months.

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

Fantastic trip, not a destination we had considered before but we now might have to add it to our very long list, which is becoming more like a book! Great music and your footage was fantastic, did you colour grade the vlog?

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

It is a fascinating place, culturally and because if it’s impressive landscapes. Well worth being on that list. Thanks your kind words. We did do some grading of sorts but it was in the early stages for us so it’s far from perfect. Still, glad you enjoyed it 😃

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

@@GoingTheWholeHogg it's on our list to visit 👍🏼

[@MarcoBrevi]

love the video. can you drive in Mongolia or you need a special pass or driver license? another question is: Do you have LPG installation or you drive by gasoline?

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Thanks, Marco! This trip was done as a tour, we weren't driving ourselves. But we met other people driving their own vehicles, so I don't think it's a problem as long as you have the correct paperwork. I think these vans were running on gasoline.

[@henrysong921]

Great vlog! Cannot wait to visit Mongolia. Gobi desert just has been to my bucket list. Keep posting more videos like this :)

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Thanks Henry! It's an awesome place, hope you can make it there some day soon : )

[@henrysong921]

Don't worry, it is! 😊

Amazing video!! Thank you for sharing! What was the tour agency that you used?

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Thank you! We went with Sunpath and they were great. We stayed at both their hostels in UB too. There's more info in the accompanying blog posts if you want to know more (links in the description)!

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

The Nighthold yeah, it’s a beautiful country!

[@sandrabianconeri4272]

Nice video, liked the vibe throughout it with the music. Planning on doing the same tour with Sunpath. Just curious, how much time did you spend sitting in a car per day? 😄🤙

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Sandra Bianconeri nice one, it’s a great trip! We probably spent between 4-6 hours in the van each day but never more than an hour or two between stops so it never felt like a long driving day, which was great. When are you heading to Mongolia?

[@sandrabianconeri4272]

Thanks for the reply! That's not too long. We are planning on going next May. When where you there?

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Sandra Bianconeri yeah the drive times are definitely manageable and of course the scenery along the way keeps you entertained! We were there in July and got pretty good weather. Another blogger couple we follow (The Curious Travel) were just there in May and got some serious snow storms, it looked incredible but super cold of course! Not sure if you’ve seen it already but we wrote up a guide over on our blog with loads of info, might be useful for you! - www.goingthewholehogg.com/budget-gobi-tour/

[@stefeniedavidmusic]

Man you guys have more guts than I do. I was wondering why no one was wearing masks and then checked the date. Funny how you get used to things, not that I am used to wearing a mask, but one gets use to seeing people wearing them.

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Indeed, this trip was in summer 2018! We'd spent the previous 3 years living in Korea where masks were common place even then, but we never could have predicted we'd be seeing them on people all over the world and wearing them ourselves just a couple of years later.

[@twiglet2214]

Lovely work and nice little touch at the end with the aerial shot of bodies spelling Gobi.Probably best to avoid the Welsh town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - unless you've LOTS of friends ! Tread the middle path - how about Croydon ?

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Could you imagine trying to coordinate that? It would be a speck in the desert by the time the drone was high enough to fit it all in. Croydon it is.

@@GoingTheWholeHogg The intro shot is awesome. UAZ Bukhanka is the intro to Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Russian federation. It reminds one of the Soviet era. Mongolia is a wonderful country with a lot of good people. Three times I visited Mongolia. Each time I learned something new.

@@joeeshwar8578 Yeah, Mongolia was the first place I ever saw a Buhanka back in 2006 and I fell in love with them! A beautiful country with such incredible landscapes, and the UAZ is perfect for exploring.

Hi! May I know what is the company name that offered you the tour? Will be going there this coming November. Thank you!

Bos Brandis Hi 👋 We went with Sunpath, they were very good. We stayed at their hostel/guesthouse in UB too and can recommend them. November will be pretty cold compared to our trip in July!

Not very good. No presentation - what season this is, description of the Gobi, its extent and change with climate movements, who lives there. Just whacky music and road movie footage

[@arito4127]

Stopped watching because of loud annoying music.

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

What music would you prefer? You could always mute it and turn on the subtitles.
