In Ulan Bator, trolleybuses and buses operate in the city center for a modest 200 Tugriks, payable on board.

Taxis in Ulan Bator Taxis cost 1,000 Tugrik per kilometer and represent a relatively safe way to navigate the city. Keep in mind that any car can serve as a taxi—simply raise your hand and one will stop. Unofficial taxis lack meters and may prove more expensive, though this isn't always the case. Generally speaking, it's best to avoid unofficial taxis waiting for passengers at the airport or train station in Ulan Bator, or at night outside bars and nightclubs. It's preferable to walk a short distance and flag one down on the street. Avoid boarding a taxi if there are already two men inside.

Traveling Within the Country Independently For journeys from Ulan Bator to other provincial cities, buses and private vehicles depart from Dragon Center or Naran Tuul market. Buses operate on fixed schedules, and it's advisable to purchase your ticket the day before departure. Private vehicles leave once full. Generally, you'll need to arrive early at Naran Tuul to reserve your seat, then wait—sometimes for several hours—before the driver departs. The highway network is centralized around Ulan Bator, and while you can reach any major city in the country by bus from the capital, traveling between provincial cities becomes quite difficult afterwards, necessitating a private car rental with driver. Remember that the country's true appeal lies in its countryside, accessible only by private jeep, or on foot and horseback. The rail network is limited, but 17 national airports connect to Ulan Bator, and the most interesting cities have several weekly flights to and from the capital—notably Dalanzadgad and Moron, which offer daily service.

Traveling in the Country with Horseback

Travel across the steppe follows paths that are often challenging. While certain itineraries offer easier driving conditions, if you wish to truly explore the landscape, you'll need to embrace the Mongolian trail experience.

For groups of two to three participants, we use mid-range 4x4 jeeps as vehicles (Mitsubishi Delica, Nissan Pajero). These jeeps are conventional vehicles, offering good comfort and air conditioning.

For groups of three to five or six participants, we favor the Russian 4x4 mini van, the UAZ. This rustic-looking vehicle sometimes unnerves clients initially, but its versatility makes it a proven choice on Mongolian trails. Moreover, thanks to its mechanical simplicity, the driver can repair it with ease. Another advantage of the UAZ is its capacity: eight seats and a spacious trunk for storing travel logistics, food supplies, and your luggage. Generally, clients appreciate this vehicle, but if you're concerned about comfort, you can opt for Japanese jeeps on private journeys.

Note: With four or five participants, you may prefer two Japanese jeeps over a single UAZ, though this significantly impacts the price.

We also offer premium 4x4 vehicle rentals as an option: Land Cruiser, Lexus, or Hummer.

Note: For those with back pain, wearing a lumbar support belt is highly recommended, regardless of vehicle choice.

For certain long journeys, you may use domestic flights from Hunnu Air or Aeromongolia. These flights save considerable time and allow you to focus on what matters most: discovering the Mongolian people and enjoying nature on foot or horseback.
