some info The best way to start your trip is from the capital, Ulan Bataar. It is super easy to find travel agencys who can arrange tours in the streets, or you can do like I did, go through the hostels, which is even more convient since they already have clients staying with them willing to share the cost. They basically prepare everything for you, you don't have to plan anything except bring some warm clothes. The hostel I stayed at was UB Guesthouse.
If you don't hire a guide, only the driver, and share the cost with 4 people which I did, the cost for one week can be as low as 200 USD, and that includes food, accomondation, everything. Every night we spent at the different family and different yurt. The catch to travel this way is the fixed rountine and not being able to know such as much about Mongolian customs as you would if you had a guide. I don't think hiring a guide would be expensive though if you split the cost by five people, I would ask for a guide if I were you.
Good luck!
