Questions: I believe the roads are paved. Will there be places to get gas along the way? are car rentals pretty cheap?

food, pasturized (or non) milk etc

Pasturised, or not, milk products.
We are a mature couple visiting Mongolia for a few days at end of May (as part of a longer trip). We are travelling independently. We have been advised by doctors to avoid unpasteurised milk, yogurt, cheese etc. Could someone please advise us if this is possible or is it out of the question. I have tried reading other's blogs and other info sites but have found no reference to this. We have not met this problem on other travels but it seems that Mongolian cuisine uses a lot of dairy products and probably most is unpasteurised.
Would be very grateful if anyone can give us any advice or info on this subject.
Otherwise we just enjoy what we find, as usual on our travels.
Thanks.

Sharing my experience of Mongolia trip

I went to Mongolia a few days ago with Travel Gobi Mongolia and just came back from my 20 days trip in spring. I think that I was there a first tourist in season 2013.

I chose the company partially because it was owned by a Mongolian. We had an amazing trip and they gave us excellent customer service. I would recommend them to anyone, and we are always longing to go back. Their offered prices of the BIG LOOP tour was very reasonable while others offered doubled or much higher prices.

We found Mongolia to be very geographically different in different regions. The Gobi desert in the South was radically different than the lake in the North near Siberia - and different than the vast plains in the middle of the country. We didn't even make it yet to the Mountains in the West.

Tremendously warm people. Fascinating museums and culture in Ulaan Bataar, including UB Opera House ... more »
