In March 2022, Mongolia scrapped all its COVID-19 entry restrictions. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers can enter Mongolia without needing to present any COVID-19 documents.

Currently, the COVID-19 situation in Mongolia is relatively safe. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Health is still asking people to take basic preventative measures such as wearing masks in public, maintaining a social distance and sanitizing hands regularly.

Mongolia is a country with a fascinating history and culture that is well and truly alive today. Even if you stick to the capital city, Ulaanbaatar, you will see portable gers (round felt tents used by Mongolian nomads) set up in the backyards of neat brick houses, where young newlyweds live until they are ready to find their own house.

Four-wheel drive tours take you out to explore the endless steppe where large herds of animals graze, or through the arid scrub of the Gobi Desert, where dinosaur fossils have been found.
