Mongolia, located in east-central Asia, is bordered by Russia to the North and China to the south, east and west. With a population of 2.9 million people and a land mass of over 1.5 million square kilometers, Mongolia is the most sparsely-populated independent country in the world. Mongolia is a parliamentary republic, with a directly-elected President and prime minister who is nominated by the elected deputies of the national assembly, the Khural.
Since breaking away from the Soviet Union in the early 1990’s, Mongolia has established itself as one of the free democracies in Asia, along with Japan and South Korea. Today, Mongolia’s free market economy is driven by tourism, mining, construction, cashmere and natural fiber manufacturing.
Travellers may find many references to Genghis Khan, the 13th century warrior who united warring tribes and founded the Mongol empire. The government has promoted national identity by using the name or image of Genghis Khan on labels, streets, buildings, and money.Travellers who visit Mongolia will find that the largely untouched wilderness is the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as cycling, horseback riding and hiking. The summer sports festival, Naadam, held annually in the capital Ulaanbaatar from July 11 to 13, is a popular tourist attraction.

Mongolia is a very safe country. As in any tourist destination or developing country, petty crime such as pickpocketing or bag snatching, can occur. This is very common in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Travellers should always be aware of personal security and keep valuables secured and out of sight to avoid being targeted. Crimes against travellers mostly occur during the Tsagaan Sar Festival in January or February; the Naadam Festival in July; and during the summer tourist season.

Avoid walking alone. Thieves typically operate on public transport and in crowded areas in Ulaanbaatar, such as Chinggis Khan International Airport, the Gandan Monastery, the State Department Store, the so-called “Black Market” or the Naran Tuul Covered Market, the Central Post Office and the train station.
Travellers have reported being robbed by criminals posing as police officers, particularly in Sukbaatar Square area of Ulaanbaatar.
