I really enjoyed reading about your experience, T.J. Thanks for sharing!
This is the best article I’ve read on Prince of Travel. Thank you, T.J. My husband and I completed the West Coast Trail, and also loved the calm-inducing quiet and lack of cell service/internet. Your article has inspired me to look into hiking options in Mongolia.
I found Ulaanbaatar to be home to one of the more imposing BW properties in recent memory. Had great panoramic views from their executive lounge.
What an awesome article… amazing stuff TJ.. best article on PoT for a while… and without a single meme.. who knew….?
How about some info TJ and how you selected your guide?
Great suggestion, Chris. I will add a few paragraphs about how we found our guide shortly.
Very enjoyable read. Would love to visit Mongolia someday.
You should do a separate article on Olkhon Island. That and Ulan-Ude were probably my two favourite stops in Siberia!
Thanks James! I often think back to my time on Olkhon and want to get back there as soon as possible. I’d love to hear about your experiences there and Ulan-Ude some day, too.
Very interesting read! There’s plenty of content on luxury hotel #542 in location X, but these off the beaten path stories are quite interesting, and more engaging than checking out a few hotel shots here and there.
Keep it up T.J!
Thanks very much, Alex! During the ongoing pandemic, it was really nice to revisit this trip as motivation for travel in the (hopefully) near future.
