I live in Ulaanbaatar and have an advanced level of English proficiency. I’m passionate about introducing foreign travelers to Mongolia’s breathtaking nature, rich history, and unique culture. I have experience designing personalized travel itineraries and have guided American friends and tourists through Western Mongolia, including the regions of Khuvsgul, Zavkhan, and Bayan-Ölgii. I can help you discover Mongolia in an authentic and unforgettable way—whether you’re looking for serene lakes, majestic mountains, nomadic experiences, or hidden cultural gems.

Hello everyone! I’m originally from Mongolia and have been living in Japan for the past eight years, with the last four in Tokyo. I just finished my master’s degree and am taking a gap year to travel throughout 2025. During the summer months, I’ll be based in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and I’d be happy to host anyone visiting the city—it’d be a joy to host in my hometown! In September and October, I’ll be exploring Southeast Asia, mainly Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. If you’ll be around during that time, I’d love to meet up and connect! I’ll be back in Tokyo in March 2026. Looking forward to meeting people!

Based on 3 experiences
Ulaanbaatar is great. Use common sense at night and stay where there are people. Seoul Street has lots of nightlife and karaoke. Naraantuul, an open-air market, is the best place to shop, but be reasonable. I've never personally been robbed there, but I've heard stories, especially when it's crowded. It's best to keep money in a zipped pocket and hold your shopping in a shopping bag. If I know I'm going to buy something big, I take a backpack with me and wear it on the front. If you really want to experience Mongolia, you have to go to the countryside. Terelj is probably the most tourist-friendly, but I recommend Aglag Buteelin Hiid, a meditation center founded by a monk-artist. It's an easy day trip from the city and off the beaten path for non-Mongols (you'll definitely want a driver who also translates). A walk on the trail took us about an hour and a half, and the ride itself is beautiful. Expect a tough week. It takes me 2 full days of travel to get here from the States. If you can make it to the Gobi, go. It's a night train journey... there are certainly attractions closer to Ulaanbaatar that will fill a few days for you. The only thing I really dislike here is the air pollution in winter.
Posted: November 2, 2022Ulaanbaatar is not safe after dusk. Stay vigilant. I've traveled to 50+ countries and Ulaanbaatar is probably the place where I felt the most unsafe. Hotels and hostels have signs making sure you are inside before nightfall. Don't let this discourage you though. During the day it's fine. I wouldn't spend much time in the city. When I was there, I took a 4-day, 3-night mini-tour around Gobi. Absolutely beautiful. You get the opportunity to stay in a yurt in the national park, see a bit of the desert and explore. All hotels and other places offer tours. One of the best experiences within all my travels.
