Practical tips for Mongolia
- Mongolia's currency is the Tugrik (MNT); carry plenty of cash in crisp bills when venturing outside Ulaanbaatar, as cards and ATMs are rare in rural areas.
- Hiring a sturdy 4WD vehicle with an experienced local driver is essential for the countryside, where paved roads are minimal and tracks are unmarked.
- Always accept food, drink, or gifts with your right hand supported at the wrist or elbow by your left hand to show proper respect.
