Friday, 23 June 2006 |
 The US embassy posted a announcement regarding problems with lodging and transport in this summer season in Mongolia:
The Government of Mongolia significantly increased summer tourism to
Mongolia for 2006 through targeted advertising and there has been
little indication that service capacity has expanded to match potential
increased demand. In addition to lodging scarcity (see our original
message of February 9, 2006 at http://mongolia.usembassy.gov/tw_02092006.html
) flights into and out of Mongolia are heavily booked. The week of
July 9-15 is particularly challenging with flight wait lists of up to
90 passengers with limited hotel/lodging availability in June and even
fewer options for July. The room shortage continues through August and
September, peak tourist months in Mongolia. We advise those
contemplating travel to Mongolia to consider the lack of available
lodging and air transportation services before establishing firm plans
to travel and to reconfirm such services, especially departure flights,
prior to arrival and again upon arrival.

You may have flight & accommodation shortage during late June till middle of July.
From mid of July till beginning of October you can travel to Mongolia without any trouble.
But make sure your accommodation is booked before your arrival in Mongolia.
Experience your lifetime tour in Mongolia.
Best of all. |

I think Nyam may be a bit too optimistic. Flights by Aeroflot from Moscow to UB were already fully booked for June, July and first half of August as early as the first week of January. Travel agents may have some seats available but I'm in no doubt seats aren't easily available.

The US government has written above statement intentionally to
As a tourist in Mongolia from the US, I can assure you that there's no such thing as shortage of lodging and transportation
in Mongolia. If you have planned to visit Mongolia this summer, better do that quickly. This recommendation is mainly because of the Genkhis Khan's 800 years
anniversary. And remember this great person's life and many victorious wars He fought. So visit Mongolia and own a piece
of history!!!!!! |

KAMIMURA, lecturer, faculty of Mongolian studies, Tokyo University of
Foreign Studies launched an innovative website on old Mongolian
manuscripts maps in cooperation with the state archive of Mongolia. It contains 16 precious maps which are stored at the state archive for
academic use. The oldest map was estimated being made in 1803-1805.
A remarkable
feature of this web site is that you can find manuscripts written on
those maps by an advanced search function. All content of the maps has been indexed and easily accessible with the advanced search function.
For
instance, if you type, "erdeni"(transcription of Mongol bichig as
"erdene"), you get 24 search results and it says "erdeni" is written on
4 different maps. Then, it indicates where the search words are found
on the specific places of the maps. Also, you can add search conditions
among 20 items.
KAMIMURA
hopes this web site helps progress on study of Mongolian history and
many other related disciplines. Not only for the academic use, it is
also beautiful and interesting to appreciate.
