As a Mongolian, I can surely say that the time literally stops in Gobi desert. It is the ultimate breakthrough from the modern life surrounded with crowds, cars and electronics. Your whole body, your brain and your heart will be thanking you.
Love the drone shots. Thanks for sharing. A few points from an old British expat who lives here. Mongolia uses the Cyrillic alphabet. It’s pretty easy to substitute the letters where they differ. Of course it helps if you live here. I can read Cyrillic now but slowly. A "P" in Cyrillic is an "R" in the latin alphabet. I bet you figured that out. I add coffee to my milk tea. It sounds odd but it improves the taste for me because the tea taste is really, really weak. You’ve been to places I’ve never been to and I’ve lived here for years. We’ve been to the Gobi but not the touristy parts. It’s huge but the tours always take people to the same 2 or 3 spots. We prefer Arkhanghai province in central-West Mongolia, which is one of the jewels of Mongolia. It’s also where my wife is originally from. More grasslands, forests and quite mountainous. We live in a Ger camp in the mountains near UB all year round but have modern versions and indoor plumbing and all the modern conveniences. We're not by any means roughing it.
MICO!!! YOUR STAR SHOTS TURNED OUT SO GOOD. SO WORTH THE LATE NIGHTS! This video looks like you both put so much love and work into it. 🥹❤️ Thank you for documenting a trip of a lifetime!!
Awe thank you so much! I remember just being so cold and grumpy out there haha but really wanting to make the most of the opportunity. Glad I did because they turned out so well! Glad you enjoyed the video - we had such a great time and we’re glad we could immortalize our journey together!
Heyy loved the video, I am actually from Mongolia and it made me so homesick because i am living abroad, and I used to be a guide for tourists on the side while studying. This video gave me so much nostalgia from my tour guide days, wish I could have been your guide. One thing I wanted to point out is that we use the same alphabet as the russians, the Cyrillic alphabet, and i think its very useful for westerners to at least learn to read and pronounce the letters, in Mongolia we have a saying: "If you know languages, your feet will never be bare". Hope you guys comeback, Good luck
Like your time spent in the Wadi Rum desert this is another spectacular video. I've said this many times, but I truly appreciate your care, love, and respect for the local fauna. From facetious monkeys and now to your walk with Sid your interactions are a great part of the channel. Questions: How did you deal with your soreness? What were your favorite snacks? Did it not cool down at night as much as you thought it would?
Hey! Thanks so much for the lovely comments about our respect for the fauna. We do our best to be as respectful and ethical as possible during our travels, and animal tourism is such a big part of that. You may have already seen, but we answered your other questions in this weeks' update 😀
Hi guys, hope you guys doing well, I'm from Mongolia and I really liked your video, I live in Netherlands and I'm too far away from my country , I just wanted to tell you guys thank you so much, this video reminding my country I was feeling like im in my country in Mongolia, and I hope you guys enjoyed out there in Mongolia .
So glad you like the videos! It’s such a beautiful country and we are just in awe whenever we look back at all the footage. We know that the camera only captures just a small glimpse of how spectacular it really is but it’s enough to make us want to go back! Thanks for watching!
Great video guys! Never thought of Mongolia before and now it’s on our list! All thanks to the Vietnam E-Visa! Lol. The Gobi dessert looks absolutely amazing!!
I can’t believe it either but we are so glad that those visas fell through! We never would have discovered Mongolia otherwise. Best kind of travel blunder 😝 glad you enjoyed!
Amazing video guys! I actually would love to visit Mongolia 🇲🇳. I went to Namibia 🇳🇦 this past November which is the SECOND least populated country in the world right after Mongolia!
Wow that trip was amazing! ..did you sit out and watch the stars for a while? I did in Zambia ....I thought without light pollution the stars look 3 times bigger! ........ps your Mico and Nicole cartoon heads you used on your map are very cute.....Martin bristol
Thank you for visiting us in my heart ❤country. I hope enjoy your trips. Thank you for sharing and each others. I living in Vancouver BC. Unfortunately I am not going back in Mongolia last 13 years. Thank you again 😊
AMAZING 😮 Did the tour van bring water tanks or was there a water-capture set up at the camps? And guessing it was a camp-swipe type of keeping yourself clean along the way? This is exactly what I would hope for a Mongolia adventure - thanks SO much for sharing this! ❤ (edit: The tour site doesn’t give prices, but can you share a ballpark of how much a trip like yours costs, just so we have a rough idea?)
So glad to hear you enjoyed the video! to answer your questions - our guides brought a bunch of bottles water from Ulaanbaatar that we used along the way (we got 1.5L each day), but we also bought extra 4L jugs along the way to share as a group. And yes we did some baby wipe "showers," but we also actually had 2 real showers as well! One of them we paid extra for (it was located at another camp that we drove to), and the second one was located at our camp on night 3. And the price for this tour was $650 USD per person for our group size. The price can go up or down depending on how many seats they can fill in the vehicle 😄
@@nicoleandmico Thanks for answering - and what a great value! Have saved this series and the tour link to my sparse Mongolia folder! I’m a longtime hiker and camper, so used to no showers, but usually in the woods so no issues with water - or lack of cover for a pee break 😂 These folks look like they really take care of you.
@leapintothewild Awesome! We hope you get the chance to visit one day, it’s truly a one of a kind trip! During our time in Mongolia we also rented a 4x4 with a roof top tent and drove around on our own for a few days. That’ll be our next video and sounds like it might be your kind of adventure too!
You guys motivated me to travel my county🥰 I just realized that our people don’t really do travel vlogs in Mongolia which is really odd XD And for me who is Gen Z, I usually watch yt and scroll social media so I didn’t see any of these views by my surroundings. I’m truly appreciated that to see that amazing views and making me to decide travel🤗
This is awesome! What time of year did you go? I would also love to know what budget you recommend and how much time you recommend there! Looks beautiful!
Glad you liked it! Actually our next video is gonna me a Mongolia tips and q&a snd we will be covering these questions and more. In case you don’t see it, we went in June and the weather was great. We were definitely on a budget but we will cover that in more detail in our video (after we’ve wrangled all the numbers together 😊)
The word "МАРКЕТ" is written in Cyrillic alphabet, not Latin. In Cyrillic, the letter that looks like "p" actually represents the sound of "r" in Mongolian.
11:23 heyy i love your videos and in mongolia we say market not mapket because it kinda looks similar in english letters but it is is mongolian “маркет”
nice trip, lol @ wild horses, there are no wild horses in Mongolia, there are only Przewalski's horse that is wild, all other horses have owners, they just roam for days.
yeah the drivers are just amazing. they navigate without anything, just with their brain and heart I would say :P I think men are good at navigate but those drivers are just next level, they just know where to go and no one knows how xD
Trust me, my.mother visited xinjiang China years ago. The toilet is similar. But really bad and smelly. Bus journeys are long, but you try not to drink too much water.
We thought the same thing! We're Calgarian and often thought about how much of this area looks like Alberta. I don't think we the weather was abnormal, its just not what we expected haha
What to do you think? Are the hours and hours of driving worth the incredible views???
Absolutely!!!
Love this!!! We totally agree 😍😍
YES!
I miss my country
We thought so too 😍😍
As a Mongolian, I can surely say that the time literally stops in Gobi desert. It is the ultimate breakthrough from the modern life surrounded with crowds, cars and electronics. Your whole body, your brain and your heart will be thanking you.
That is exactly how we felt! We loved our time out there 🤩

You guys made my country look and sound so magical witch is true 😊.Writing from USA missing home ❤
It’s so beautiful we just had to share it with as many people as we can! 😍🤩

Yay! We love hearing that! It’s such a good feeling to share a little-known country with people 😊😊
Righttt next to bucketlist😊

The drone shots look awesome guys!
Beautiful
Thanks Josiah! We love countries with few drone rules 😂
Those aerial views of the landscape are epic! Looks almost like an alien world.
Thanks! We totally agree. It felt like we landed on Mars a couple of times
Fun fact, some of the land scape, clothing and culture from Star wars movies was based on Mongolian culture and nature
This is completely different from Japan,thanks for sharing it’s an education, fun to discover Mongolia with you two ✌️❤️🇬🇧
It is so different from Japan! We loved every minute of it though 😊 Thanks for being here to watch it, Max!
Mongolia isn’t for the faint hearted. You two did well! Your drone work is amazing, by the way. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
Thanks guys taking your time to edit and perfect the vid before upload . Safe travels! Keep 'em coming :)

Thank you so much for the great trip!
Absolutely fantastic! Who new Mongolia is such a unique and beautiful country! For the mapket - P in Cyrillic = R.

gobi desert huge sand mountains amazing timing
So huge! So amazing 🤩
Wow that trip was amazing! ..did you sit out and watch the stars for a while? I did in Zambia ....I thought without light pollution the stars look 3 times bigger! ........ps your Mico and Nicole cartoon heads you used on your map are very cute.....Martin bristol

It was definitely full of adventure!
Thank you for visiting us in my heart ❤country. I hope enjoy your trips. Thank you for sharing and each others. I living in Vancouver BC. Unfortunately I am not going back in Mongolia last 13 years. Thank you again 😊

awsome vlog love the beatiful views
Thanks so much!
You guys are experiencing something even most Mongolians don’t experience at all in the age of tech and screen.
It was an awesome experience and we feel so lucky!
It's amazing 🤩🎉
Thanks 😄
tysm im mongol ёосто баярлаа
Wow. How wonderful are there? ✨🥰😍
The best!
The word "МАРКЕТ" is written in Cyrillic alphabet, not Latin. In Cyrillic, the letter that looks like "p" actually represents the sound of "r" in Mongolian.
Thanks for the info! We never knew!
11:23 heyy i love your videos and in mongolia we say market not mapket because it kinda looks similar in english letters but it is is mongolian “маркет”
That’s so great to learn, thank you for sharing with us!!
can you stargaze at night? or does the dust hide the view at night?
100% you can stargaze! The night was so clear and very little clouds.
nice trip, lol @ wild horses, there are no wild horses in Mongolia, there are only Przewalski's horse that is wild, all other horses have owners, they just roam for days.
Good to know!
❤❤❤?!
You guys awesome!!!
Thank you! 😊
I are so lucky u are not visiting Mongolia in winter
For sure! We are Canadian and get very cold winters as well, so we knew to avoid Mongolia in winter time 😅
that super market sign is not translated and just converted by how it sounds like so understand that 😅
That is perfect!
yeah the drivers are just amazing. they navigate without anything, just with their brain and heart I would say :P I think men are good at navigate but those drivers are just next level, they just know where to go and no one knows how xD
It’s so incredible how they just know where to go. So so cool and impressive!
Am all readdy in mongolia becuse i live there
Woohoo!🎉
Hi
Hi i was born in mongolia
Trust me, my.mother visited xinjiang China years ago. The toilet is similar. But really bad and smelly. Bus journeys are long, but you try not to drink too much water.
We would love to visit again one day!
Looks like the Alberta Badlands. Are you in an abnormal hot spell? Why so warm?
We thought the same thing! We're Calgarian and often thought about how much of this area looks like Alberta. I don't think we the weather was abnormal, its just not what we expected haha
There are many games that you can play with bones.
So we heard! We only learned one but we’re curious what else we could do with them
"P" in Cyrillic = "R" in Latin alphabets.
That makes sense!
You can get the pinoy to mogolia but you can't get the pinoy away from the tapsilog (meat - egg - rice) holy trinity
Haha exactly! He lives for it 😁😅
👍❤👍
Thank you!
P in cryllic us just R so MAPKET is just market
Good to know!
,🤙🤙👍👍👍👍❤
i m mongolia
Amazing country!
hi im mongolia
Hi! Glad to have you here!
11:10 funfact: the cyrillic "r" looks like the latin p!
Good to know!
we’re fed
😊😊
market the r is written p like that because in the alphabet R is P
That makes sense! Thanks for sharing
t
😊
