Mongolian
Visas

Most
foreign tourists need a visa to travel to Mongolia,
although there are a few exceptions such as citizens
of Israel, Malaysia and the US. Regulations, requirements
and visa costs change quite frequently, so it
is always necessary to check with your nearest
Mongolian Embassy for the latest information about
travel to Mongolia. A list of Mongolian Embassies
and consulates around the world can be seen here:

Health
and Insurance

Thanks
to the climate and low population density, Mongolia
is a relatively healthy country in which to travel.
You may consider having the following vaccinations
before you go: tetanus, polio, typhoid, hepatitis
and rabies. Most important is that your tetanus
is up to date. For the latest recommendations
contact your doctor or pharmacist. Make sure that
you arrange a good travel insurance which includes
repatriation in an emergency situation.

Money
and Banks

During
your travel vacation in Mongolia you will find
that US dollars cash are the most useful form
in which to take your money. Some banks (but not
hotels) will change travelers cheques. A few shops
and hotels accept American Express and Visa cards,
and there are a few cash machines in Ulaanbaatar,
including one at the airport.

Safety

Mongolia
is a relatively safe place, and women traveling
alone are usually treated with respect and friendship.
Normal sensible precautions should be taken to
safeguard your belongings, especially in Ulaanbaatar.

Equipment
and Clothing

Even
during the summer months the weather in Mongolia
is unpredictable, so you have to go prepared for
everything. Everyone who makes a booking with
us will receive a Tour Dossier listing all equipment,
clothing and medicines that we advise you to take.

Shopping

Cashmere
is probably Mongolia's finest product, with garments
costing a fraction of what they would be in the
West. Other good souvenirs include leather goods,
traditional clothing and hats, wooden and felt
crafts, and lovely landscape paintings.
