Mongolian Photographic Expeditions

This may be of interest to photographers visiting Mongolia later this year. When I get back to UB I’m hoping to buy a four-wheel drive to do three road trips around the country. The trips will be of around 10 days each and will probably be in July, (possibly to the south Gobi and to see the Naadam festival at Dalanzadgad), during mid-September (possibly to the eagle festival in Bayan Olgi) and a final trip during early November. Each trip will stop whenever there is something good to photograph though most days will also involve at least 8 hours, bumpy, tortuous, dirt-track driving.

I’d be interested to hear from people who may be in Mongolia during those times and would like to come along for a photographic adventure. You’d need to bring your own camping kit (except a stove and cooking kit) and pay all fuel costs (a few hundred dollars maximum).
