I had heard of this. Neat.
Feynman never made a trip to Mongolia. He had planned to go to Tuva with his friend Ralph Leighton (author of "Tuva or Bust"), but unfortunately Feynman became ill and died before he had a chance to go. (Leighton went, however, and erected a plaque in Feynman's honor.) This is why the book is called "Tuva or Bust" - for Feynman it was "bust."
