The Location

Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia, features a dynamic urban landscape alongside historic lamaseries and ger districts. It offers a rich social life where local and expatriate communities interact seamlessly. There are direct flights to various global hubs, including Seoul, Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Istanbul, as well as flights to more remote domestic locations.

Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, Ulaanbaatar provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities and unique cultural experiences. Residents can engage in trekking, horseback riding, skiing, cycling, and camping, allowing the adventurous to explore the lakes, forests, mountains, and deserts of this stunning country.

Mongolia's climate is characterized by extremes, but the low humidity makes both summer and winter conditions more manageable than one might expect. Periods of high pressure lead to clear, blue skies, enabling staff to appreciate the dramatic landscapes. Significant improvements in air quality have been noted in Ulaanbaatar over the past six years due to government initiatives promoting smokeless fuels.
