About:
Mongolia is an untouched and extremely unique landscape that I think is going to blow up in coming years. It has the vast wilderness in the Gobi and semi Gobi desert (Elsen Tasarkhai), along with the wild horses of Hustai National Park and UNECSO world heritage site. Two things not to miss are turtle rock and Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex. My highlight in Ulaanbaatar was the Zaisan Statue that pays tribute to the fallen Soviet and Mongolia soldiers of WW2 and provides an amazing viewpoint over the entire city.

Have you ever been to a similar landscape to this? Let me know in the comments below and I can add it to my list!

what an amazing place

[@homecd]

So nothing about food ? And yes do the 3 museums in UB, then get outside the city. The national treasure is a must see, but complicated to get a ticket for.

[@gazwrighttravel]

Unfortunately I am severely allergic to peanuts and all other nuts. So I have to be really careful (I’ve been hospitalised already on this trip). When people don’t speak English I have to be extra safe. So I ate KFC ever meal. I love food and experiencing what types of things different countries cook - so I’m always gutted when I can’t try it. What are the top 3 Mongolian dishes for people to try when they visit?

[@courtneyramen3538]

Hi! I’m going to Mongolia in a few days, could I get the contact info for your guide out to the Chinggis Khan statue please?

[@gazwrighttravel]

Hey - we just paid the driver who picked us up from the airport (booked through our air bnb). He was a taxi and not a guide. He didnt speak any english so if you wanted someone to tell you about the landscape etc I think I would bool a specific trip. If not let me know and I can try to get it from the Air BnB guy

[@monicamccoy8791]

Please drop the contact info for your airbnb tour guide. I’m looking to go to Mongolia in 2 months

[@gazwrighttravel]

Hey - we stayed here and he can help you book trips as well… www.airbnb.com/slink/VE4bfHdc

Just up my street this country….

[@gazwrighttravel]

Not sure how much you’d enjoy the driving Shades 😂

Newest members of the Dothraki isit?

[@gazwrighttravel]

Haha I think that would be abit of you on GOT. I'd be one of the pale lads north of the wall. Either the Walkers or the Wildlings haha

[@BB-yi6qn]

Very few Westerners travel to Mongolia, and even people from other Asian countries rarely go to Mongolia.

[@gazwrighttravel]

That’s why we wanted to go there. Into the unknown for sure. Sure a big place - I think you need 10+ days and lots of $for trips

[@BB-yi6qn]

@@gazwrighttravel Can you see Western brands in Mongolia? Like McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, 7-eleven and Pizza Hut from the USA

[@gazwrighttravel]

@@BB-yi6qn Burger King, Maccies and KFC were all there. The KFC was the cheapest I have ever seen. Was cheaper than buying food and cooking

[@BB-yi6qn]

@@gazwrighttravel I heard there are no 7-11 convenience stores in the UK. Do you wish there were 7-Eleven stores in the UK? Because there are many 7-11s in Asia and they are very popular in Asia

[@gazwrighttravel]

@@BB-yi6qn we do NOT have them in the UK, it's so depressing going to our convenience stores. They are so bad in comparison to the mighty 7-11's. The ones in Japan are the best I have ever seen. So many amazing food, drinks and snack options :)

[@dicky-duck6632]

It's quite modern after all. I thought people still lived inside yurts.

[@gazwrighttravel]

Outside of Ulaabaatar it’s deffo more nomadic / yurt life. However in the city it’s super modern. The department store being the centre piece of that. The transport is what needs investing more in as it’s a nightmare to get around

What a silly silly video kk

[@gazwrighttravel]

Why silly?

[@BH-no7sk]

@@gazwrighttravel ha ha you say 'silly' a 'silly' amount

[@gazwrighttravel]

@@BH-no7sk I need to try and improve my vocabulary. I record a video over the course of 3-7 days, so it always seems worse when I condense a video down. I've always forgotten what I have said the day before haha
