Visa information
Rules depend on your passport and can change. Check the Mongolian embassy or the official e-visa service for your nationality before you book flights. Send us your passport country and we tell you what we know.
Tourist SIM card
SIM cards are sold at the airport and in Ulaanbaatar shops. Bring an unlocked phone and your passport. Signal is weak in the Gobi and the far west, so download offline maps first.
Best time to travel
June to August is warm and green, with Naadam on 11–13 July. September and October are clear and quieter. Winter is for snow and ice festivals.
