Local know-how

Staying safe

  • •Mongolia is mostly a safe country to visit, but take care in nights and when alcohol is involved, and if venturing out away from shelter with risks of harsh weather.
  • •Aggressive dogs may run in packs.
  • •Manhole covers — or more precisely, the lack of such covers — is a surprisingly common cause of injuries among foreigners and (especially drunk) tourists.
  • •Crime and harassment: Apart from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia is generally a safe place to travel.
  • •Unfortunately, xenophobia and violence towards foreigners is common.
  • •Be aware that physical interactions that may be benign elsewhere, such as grazing someone's shoe while passing them or touching their hat, can be seen as an invitation to fight.

Staying healthy

  • •Nomads' dogs may have rabies.
  • •Pollution: Ulaanbaatar has polluted air, largely due to pervasive coal-burning for domestic heating.
  • •If you suffer from a respiratory disease and plan to visit Mongolia in winter, consult a medical professional for advice.
