緣起


 真不好意思我用龜爬的速度寫網誌~ ^ ^
        許多人問我為什麼要去蒙古,坦白說我也不知道,只因我的旅伴提起她2015想去蒙古,她以前就想去了只是揪不到咖所以沒去成,我想想歐美都去了好幾次文化古蹟都長得差不多所以就答應去蒙古了,只是單純的想說沒去過去看看也好,看能不能騎馬馳騁在蒙古大草原及到沙漠滾沙。
  1. 收集資料: 我負責收集資料,另一個旅伴負責上背包揪咖,我大概是在2014/12月底左右開始收集資料跟觀察機票價格,依網路上找到的資料大多數的人都是搭大韓航空機票約兩萬七上下,中國航空兩萬三左右,最後我們決定搭蒙古航空因為蒙古航空的航班時間及價格都是最優費用約兩萬一千五。

  1. 訂行程找旅行社估價: 我們的行程是參考部落客瞳瞳媽在2012年的蒙古自助行程去訂的,也感謝瞳瞳媽的無私指點,如果對蒙古旅程有什麼問題可以去閱讀瞳瞳媽的部落格相信可以解決90%以上的問題,至於旅行社只要背包裡及部落客有提到的我幾乎都有mail過去請對方報價,原本也屬意洪果但是我閱讀好幾個部落客的文章發現他們的車子故障中獎率還滿高的,所以後來我們大膽用了一家沒有台灣人分享過的旅行社Travel Gobi Mongolia (http://www.travelgobimongolia.com/),這家旅行社的Ganzomail的速度是所有旅行社最快的他們的網站也做得不錯有各種行程可以選擇行程內容及價格也寫得很清楚,只是美中不足的是沒有中文導遊,但是同行的人有一個通英文的話倒是可以考慮。
