Bob Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Have started reading a bit and looking at maps in light of my intended travels to and in Mongolia Q2 next year. For those that have already travelled there, what are the good sites for people interested in military history and in particular Mongolian / Soviet awards?Has anybody been in Choibalsan city incl. the Khalkhin Gol War Museum? How about actually travelling to Khalkhin Gol itself (where supposedly the monuments and relics are all over the place)?Are there any good markets for buying medals?Still in very preliminary phase of planning. Hope to arrange a visit to the state mint (seeing how orders / medals are being made!), among other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 1- Lonely Planet guide.2- Lonely Planet guide.3- Hard to get out east to Khalkin Gol and Choibalsan. Logistics difficult. Rent a four-wheel with driver and GPS and prepare for a long trip. Said to be very neat, though.4- Prepare for good sights (from Google Earth): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
