Advice on getting from UB to Khovd or Oglii

[huijeeps]

Hello fellow travelers!

I have searched high and low online and can't seem to find good information on how i can get from UB to Khovd or Oglii.

Here is a rough overview of my route: China Beijing> UB> Khovd or Oglii> China Urumqi

I know the ride from UB to Khovd is crazy long (above 30 hrs), and I would like a suggestion of a place to stop in between.
Also, I can't seem to find consistent info about whether there is a bus from UB to Khvod or Oglii, and also how often they operate, aeroplanes are out of my options since i intend to do the whole thing overland if possible!

If anyone have a suggestion on where to stop between UB and Khovd/Oglii, or info on the buses these places, please let me know! Thank you so much! (price info also pls:) )

Oh yes, i am traveling during the end May to start June period, and would love to meet anybody else intending to do over landing from UB to Urumqi. I will also be continuing from there to Kazakhstan Almaty.

Thanks in advance!
