Mongolia Travel Guide - Accommodation

There are several major hotels in Ulaanbaatar. There are also many smaller hotels of varying standards. Outside the capital, hotels are basic and few in number. Most provide full board, and arrange daily excursions and entrance fees to museums and the services of a guide or interpreter.

Grading: There is currently no official grading system for accommodation in Mongolia.

There are backpacker hostels and guest houses in Ulaanbaatar.

There are numerous tourist ger camps spread throughout the countryside. The accommodation is in gers (round felt tents used by nomadic herders). In most cases, there are also restaurants, bars, toilets and showers. Ger camps are usually open from May to October. Tourists with their own tents have the opportunity to camp almost anywhere they want although there are restrictions in protected areas and it is advisable to avoid settlements.
