Ongoing discussions · Mongolia

Hi everyone, We’ve got our tickets for Mongolia in August 2027 (yes, booking way ahead saves money...). We’re looking for contacts at a reliable local agency that could help us organize our trip, preferably with a French-speaking contact. First, we’d like to see what’s possible to do in 2 weeks, at what price, knowing we’d like to visit at least the Gobi Desert and Terejii National Park. On one hand, we want to be independent for some things (accommodation in Ulaanbaatar, for example), but have support for the rest (domestic flights, driver, visits, transfers, etc.). If you’ve already traveled with an agency that exceeded your expectations, I’d love to get their details. Thanks a bunch!

Hi there, I’m planning a trip to Russia and Mongolia, starting from France. Crossing the border at Poland/Belarus or Georgia/Russia—other borders seem either closed or complicated. Tourist visas for 3 months with multiple entries. Do you have any info on Russian companies that cover a 4x4 vehicle for 3 months, and what prices in rubles or euros you’ve paid?

Which bank did you use for expenses? (EuroMastercard and Visa cards no longer work.)

Regarding Russian SIM cards, a new system called "Gosuslugi" has been introduced. How long did it take you to get one, and what steps did you follow?

Thanks
