Hi! I'm a lady journalist traveling alone for the first time to Mongolia. Because of my very tight budget, I plan to go overland, from Beijing to UB via the trans-Mongolian express hard sleeper. From UB I intend to go to Olgii to witness the Kazhaks hunting with golden eagles. I heard that there are public buses going from UB to Olgii - a five day travel over unpaved roads costing USD$35, but schedules are unreliable. Where and how do I find these buses? Are there buses going straight from UB to Olgii, or do I have to transfer buses at certain points? What are the routes? Thanks so much in advance.

maybe you can ask the people from Tseren Tours for some advise

I'll do that. Thanks!

Yes, Tseren Tours is one of the choices. But there are other companies too

I don't think there is a public bus that goes to Olgii. Foreigners usually take airplane to Bayan-Olgii, one of the domestic airline, AeroMongolia or TransUlgii.
