Lonely Planet: Mongolia
Bradley Mayhew: Buy
from Amazon.com
or Amazon.co.uk
- Mongolia is an exotic, romantic, adventurous
destination. This guide provides comprehensive data on how
to get there, where to stay, where to eat and what to do...."I
used this prior to my third trip to Mongolia; I'm heading
again this summer and it is certainly very much of use.
There's scope for more detail in some areas though. Travelling
to Mongolia isn't easy to plan as information isn't as plentiful
as elsewhere so this is a good start"
