Getting to/around Mongolia

International flights in/out Mongolia

Domestic flights

There are only two domestic airlines: Hunnu Air and Aero Mongolia which operate scheduled and chartered domestic flights. We usually propose our travelers to take at least one domestic flight depending on their tour last because Mongolia is huge and dirt track is often hard but you won’t be able to avoid the road condition if you are truly willing to explore Mongolia.

Destinations

• Ulaanbaator – Dalanzadgad (ULN-DLZ), and vice versa
• Ulaanbaator – Murun (ULN-MXV), & V.V
• Ulaanbaator – Ulgii  (ULN-ULG), & V.V
• Ulaanbaator – Ulaangom(ULN-ULO), & V.V
• Ulaanbaator – Hovd (ULN-HVD), & V.V

• Ulaanbaator – Altai ( only operated by Aero Mongolia with a special scheduled flight) & V.V

The destinations above are served directly from Ulaanbaatar. For instance, Bayan-Ölgii to Dalanzadgad is impossible without returning to Ulaanbaator city first.

Trans-Mongolian Train

The Trans-Mongolian railway follows the main Trans-Siberian line route between Moscow and Ulaan Ude, and then runs to Chinese border via Ulaanbaator. Total length of the Trans-Mongolian line is 2215km.  A journey by the trans-Mongolian express from Moscow to Ulaanbaator takes 5 days and Beijing to Ulaanbaator takes 36 hours.
