Moving to / Living in Mongolia Guide
1. Living In / Moving to Mongolia Guide
Property & Rent
Nearly half of the registered Mongolian population lives in Ulaanbaatar, the capital and centre of Mongolia’s culture,
industry, finance and hub of the Trans-Siberia railway. Nearly all of the expat community lives in the capital, with the only
notable exceptions those that are officially resident on-site in massive mining operations.
The influx of international corporations has caused high-rise apartments and offices to mushroom in the city centre. The
compounds and developments most popular with expats in Ulaanbaatar are The Brauhaus, the Temple Residence, the Jiguur
Grand Office Building, the Star Apartments, the Royal County, the Sarnaikh Building, Lux House, the Erel Building, Regency
Residences and the tallest building in Mongolia – the Blue Sky Tower. Homes around the Embassy District and the ex-State
Department Store, known as The Seven Courtyards, are also highly popular with expats.
There is little in the way of restrictive regulation or red-tape involved in residential purchases or rentals in Mongolian real
estate, excepting agricultural land. Renting or purchasing will only require a valid passport, and can even be formally done
without being physically present.

Climate in Mongolia
Whilst the height of summer can be hot on the plains, the distinguishing feature of Mongolian weather is ‘cold’. Ulaanbaatar
has the lowest average temperature of any national capital in the world. There is the Gobi Desert in the south, frozen
mountains to the north and west, and the steppes in between. Most of the country is hot in the very short summers, and
extremely cold in the long winter, with a countrywide January average of as low as −30 °C (−22 °F). Despite the cold, there is
a lot of sunshine, with an average of 257 cloudless days a year.
3. Mongolian Language
The Mongolian language can be difficult to understand and is often considering a merging of Russian and Mandarin
language; not the easiest to learn. Some day to day phrases are always good to understand.

Things to do in Mongolia
Horseback Riding
The tiny Mongolian horses are iconic, sturdy, and preposterously strong. A guided horseback tour of a trail in Terelj National
Park costs only around $4 an hour. More tourists get injured each year by falling off even this diminutive breed than do on
the patchwork roads or by non-potable water.
Gandan Monastery
Nestled in the heart of Ulaan Batar is this fully working, yet peaceful, monastery where the monks welcome you to watch
their daily activities, prayer chanting, and creating Mandalas with coloured sand.
Genghis Khan’s Monument
Located on the north side of Sukhbaatar Square, this massive marble edifice is one of the largest buildings in the city, and
was erected in 2006 on the commission of the Mongolian tribal councils to mark the 800th anniversary of the Khans
supremacy. Whilst not enjoying the best public image in the West, Ghengis is locally revered as a mighty chieftain who
unifying the various warring tribes and forged the great Mongolian Empire
Yolyn Am
Yolyn Am (Vulture’s Mouth) is a wildlife sanctuary with accessible trails leading through its dramatic scenery. In the heart of
the Gobi Desert, trails lead through meters thick perma-ice fields, overlooked by the parks titular vultures and eagles.
Khongor sand dunes
The Khongor dunes, also known as the Duut Mankhan (singing dunes) are some of the largest and most spectacular sand
dunes in Asia. The dunes can reach up to 800 meters tall high, 12 kilometres wide and 100 kilometres long. A phenomenon
of the action of the wind against the dunes can create an unearthly low-frequency humming, which has traditionally given
the area a reputation as a site of spirits and phantoms.
