About Ulaanbaatar for Solo Travelers
The world's coldest capital and gateway to the last great nomadic steppe — solo travelers arrange ger camp stays with Mongolian families, witness Naadam horseback and archery contests, and ride across a landscape unchanged for a thousand years.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Ulaanbaatar is the launch point for Mongolia's extraordinary steppe — the city itself is chaotic and polluted (worst air quality in the world in winter) but the Gandantegchinlen Monastery and the National Museum are good solo cultural stops. The real reason to come is the countryside: ger camp stays with nomadic families are best arranged through reputable UB agencies. The Naadam Festival (July) is one of Asia's most extraordinary spectacles for solo attendees.
