Ulaanbaatar Tours & Holidays
Ulaanbaatar Small Group Tours & Tailor-Made Holidays
Until fairly recently, Ulaanbaatar was a sleepy capital with a population of about 500,000, then international mining firms struck gold in the surrounding hills and the city has grown exponentially since. Built on the banks of the Tuul Gol River, Ulaanbaatar is by far Mongolia's largest city. Its centre is largely dominated by Soviet-style skyscrapers, under whose shadows couples stroll in traditional dress. The city is surrounded by picturesque mountains and wide sweeping vistas.

Best experiences

Go shopping!
We recommend checking out the Gobi Cashmere outlet store just out of town to stock up on Mongolian made goodies. It is also worth going to some of the decent craft outlets or the State Department Store for a range of cultural souvenirs.
Visit a shaman workshop
Learn about one of the oldest beliefs in the world through Mongolia's shamanic rituals and traditions. Pay a visit to a lady who, actually a yellow shaman herself, makes costumes for other shaman in her workshop.
