Mongolia:
Lonely Planet Travel Guide by
Michael Kohn ISBN 1-741045-78-9 (1 May 2008)
For many years this has been the only English
language guide to Mongolia available. The
small scale of the tourist industry and the
general infrastructure of the country make
Mongolia rather a challenge for the independent
traveler, and without Lonely Planet Mongolia,
practically impossible.

Genghis
Khan: Secret History
by R.P.Lister ISBN
0-88029-406-X
An absolutely charming and very readable
account of the life of Genghis Khan, based
on "The Secret History of the Mongols"
which is the earliest known written account
of his childhood and later conquests. The
places, people and incidents mentioned are
all true, yet so fantastic as to appear
to the reader that they must surely have
been invented to entertain him.
In
The Empire Of Genghis Khan by
Stanley Stewart ISBN 0-00-255904-8
Undoubtedly one of the best books that has
ever been written on Mongolia. It captures
perfectly the spirit of Mongolia and its people,
and is so entertaining that one cannot read
it without often laughing out loud. The photographs
are as marvelous as the story.
Gobi:
Tracking The Desert by John Man ISBN 0-30007-609-6
Like the films of Julia Roberts' visits
to Mongolia this will either make you determined
to rush to Mongolia at the first opportunity
to experience the fascinating lifestyle
and astonishing geography, or (for those
who prefer a little luxury on their holiday)
this book will put you off totally.
A
Rough Guide Special: First - Time Asia
by Lesley Reader ISBN
1-84353-048-1
This guide certainly does contain invaluable
information for the first time visitor to
Asia (with a special section on Mongolia).
But it is such an entertaining read that you
should get it anyway. In fact, it is all the
funnier for people who have already traveled
extensively in Asia and can appreciate how
true the advice is.

The Gobi Desert of Outer Mongolia is one of the world's most exotic places. The big golden dunes are pretty much virgin sand except for the occasional trail of camel footprints. Ride over 1500 km to see Mongolia's Painted Desert as well as the valley where Roy Chapman Andrews discovered the first nest of dinosaur eggs.
White Lake & Khorgo Volcano National Park on the edge of the Khangai range in Central Mongolia is a thrilling place to ride a motorcycle. Travel across mountain, desert, steppe and forest to get to the lake created 20,000 years ago following volcanic eruption.
Genghis Khan was born in Dadal in 1162. Riding mainly off-road across remote mountains and river valleys, it is 600 km from Ulaanbaatar to the village where the great leader of the Mongol Empire was born 800 years ago. His mother cooked horse spleen soup on that day, so the lake that now covers the place where their ger once stood is known as "Spleen Lake".
