Have you ever wanted to train a golden eagle for hunting on top of a sumptuous snow-capped mountain, surrounded by jewel blue lakes? or transfer to the summer pasture land with the last surviving nomadic tribe by camel caravan through the beautiful oasis surrounded by the singing dunes in the golden gobi? And are you still wondering how to get to Mongolia? So let’s jump into the easy ways to visit Mongolia.

Mongolia is a land-locked country in the far east of Asia, between Russia and China. The principal ways to get to Mongolia are cross the land border by Trans-Siberian train or a car, another option is to fly directly to the capital Ulaanbaatar city. 

1. Flights to Mongolia.

As a land-locked country in a far distant location from the crowded world, there are few international direct flights to approach Ulaanbaatar city – the nomadic capital city. Flights are run all year round by Mongolian national carrier MIAT Mongolian Airlines, and a few foreign airlines including Aeroflot, Air China, Korean Air, Turkish Airlines and Asiana Airlines.

These international airlines are operating flights connecting Ulaanbaatar with Moscow, Beijing, Irkutsk, Seoul, Hongkong, Tokyo, Berlin and Istanbul. We can offer a direct flight booking service to help our customers get the cheapest flights possible to Ulaanbaatar. Please, contact us if you need a cheap yet credible flight booking.

2. Getting to Mongolia by train or rail.

The world-famous Trans-Siberian Railway runs from Moscow to Vladivostok, and one of its branches goes to Mongolia and connects with Trans-Mongolian Railway and it ends in Beijing, China. You can start your railway journey to Mongolia at any of its stations from Moscow to Beijing. Also, you can combine train and air travel when visiting Mongolia, the choice of itinerary is yours, we are able to make your dreams a reality by providing rail tickets to either Beijing or Moscow to/from Ulaanbaatar.

3. Getting to Mongolia by car

Travelling to Mongolia by own driving car is one of the options getting popular among travellers to get to Mongolia, and it challenges most of the travellers’ driving skills, their car knowledge, and their “mentality”. If you are planning to bring a vehicle into Mongolia, you should know about informing the tax authorities and border troops in advance at any of the border crossings in the country. You should complete the customs declaration form and make sure you have all valid vehicle documents, including driving license, and ownership records.

One of the most important things you must know is that if you enter Mongolia in a private vehicle you must leave in the same vehicle, or otherwise pay customs tax. Before starting your travel, you should check your engines and prepare them to be ready on off-road and bumpy roads in Mongolia. If your vehicle is good enough to travel on Mongolian roads, you won’t have trouble and stress.

As the pandemic restrictions are getting better throughout the world, and the countries are getting back to “normal”, the Mongolian government has opened all the borders both air border and land borders to international arrivals, even without any requirements regarding the COVID-19 such as no PCR tests, no vaccinations, and no self isolations required to cross the Mongolian borders from as of April 01, 2022.  You may find additional info on our Mongolia Travel FAQ page, Mongolian e-visa page and packing list for Mongolian trips page.
