Dear Sirs,
Indians require a visa to visit Mongolia. We have an embassy in New Delhi. I am not sure about the best flyways to Mongolia, out of India. But I presume you can consider flights to Beijing or Seoul (the latter perhaps do not require a South Korean visa...).

Mongolia is very very cold in the winter. Around 10-15 degrees centigrade below zero (freezing in daytime and around below 25-25 during night time. There are hotels only in the capital. We do offer some winter trips in the countryside, such as ice skating expeditions. We have no visitors in Mongolia at this point, and our office in Ulan Bator is closed for the next 14 days. I have duty and respond to you from South America. I will be in the jungle for the next 12 days. After this, I would be happy to guide you further.

Cordially

Interesting chappies and cordial response; I'm suddenly a little less hopeful about our trip being anything but an armchair traveller's dream... need to find plan B!
