Tour durations
1-3 day tours - to nearby destinations like Kharhorin, and Terelj park.
Distances are great, direct drive from north to south takes 4 days, most of the time on dirt roads.
Therefor long tours go for 7 to 18 days.
Transportation
Most tours start and end at Ulaanbaatar which is in the center of Mongolia.
The common option is by land both ways in a Russian van or jeep.
Some go by land one way and take a flight back.
Few go 2 way flights.
Price per person per day
Including local transportation, guide, food and lodging (Ger camps in the country side).
Land tours cost from $110 to $250 average $160
Data: ToMongolia Survey 2011
Last minute tours - budget
Most guest house owners are capable of organizing a last minute tour.
They will call up a driver, (and a guide, a translator, a cook, what ever you ask for).
It will be up to you to find other travelers to share the costs.
This is the common way backpackers on a budget arrange for tours.
The cost would be from $60 to $150 average $110 per person per day
including transportation and camping on the way.
Super budget
If you feel like mixing with the locals, use public transportation.
There are no schedules, when the van is filled to the maximum it goes.
Cost would be about $15 to $40, average $25 per day for transportation and food on the way.
The vans do not stop for sight seeing on the way, they just bring you from place to place.

For the Motorcycle page - Motorcycle
A few tour operators offer mountain bike rides in various regions of Mongolia.
Some adventurous bike riders choose to cross between China and Russia through Mongolia.
The most popular route is the central route, in red color on the map.
Other routes include the green route going north from Ulaanbaatar,
and the blue taking the northern route to west Mongolia.
The southern part between Ulaanbaatar and China passes through the Gobi desert.
The northern route passes through mountains and lakes.
The central route passes through Karakorum, the old capital of Genghis Khan.
The routes are only partly paved roads - mainly around Ulaanbaatar, near border crossings, and when crossing through settlement.
The route going north south has more paved (tarmac) parts than the other routes.
See a typical road condition on the video below.
The steppe offers plenty of nice camping sites,
and you can always refresh at the settlements along the way.
click icons for information. .
Distances:
Ulaanbaatar south to China (red) about 750Km
Ulaanbaatar north to Russia (green) about 350Km
Ulaanbaatar to west Mongolia (blue) about 1100Km
One should expect to ride about 50Km per day,
and plan on a few rest days on the way.
Video - bike trip with Mongolian music in the background.
Bernadette, published a nice blog,
describing her 2008 solo bike ride across to west Mongolia.
Mark and Juliette did the north south route in 2003, and wrote a detailed blog.
