HI, My friend and I have limited time 13 days from moscow to beijing. If you could stop in one place where would it be? and why? what is there to do there? Tentatively, we are stopping in irkutsk for one or two nights and for sure , staying in ulan bator area for 2 nights. Seems to me that irkutsk may have a lot of tourists. so i am wondering where other than the two cities above, should I visit. i would like small town, less tourists, outdoors, more simple living people. thanks for the advice!!

Cool Hi there..I did the trip solo in April I didn't stop at Irkutz, but had three nights in Mongolia, 1 night in a hotel in Ulan Bator, and 2 night in a ger tent about 2 hours from the city, where I went horseriding and visiting nomads in the wilderness. The tour company in UB was Shuren and Company..well recommended and not too expensive. the whole trip was a fantastic experience..I even carried on to Hong Kong by train !!
take care ..Paul
