The white guide to peoples - Patrick Kaplanian

Chapters covering history, wildlife, flora, and the lives of local communities. Detailed descriptions of recommended itineraries. Extensive practical information suited equally to luxury travelers and backpackers. Complete accommodation listings. Quality shopping recommendations. Flight connections, paved roads, 4x4 tracks, plus cycling and hiking routes. Practical information, certainly, but above all, substantive chapters on culture.

The chapter organization follows major geographical regions (Altai, Gobi, etc.) rather than Mongolian provinces (aimags), making it more accessible to international visitors.

According to Horseback, the best English-language cultural guide to Mongolie.
