The Russian airline Aeroflot flies daily between Moscow and Ulaanbaatar.
By car
As there are barely any paved roads in Mongolia, the few ones that exist, lead to Ulaanbaatar. Navigating in Mongolia on a paved road is very easy because you just have to follow that ONE road compared to driving on tracks, where there are hundreds of possibilities....
Coming from the north the paved road starts at the Russian Border.Coming from the south the Gobi the paved road starts at Choir.Coming from the north-east the paved road starts at Bulgan .
By bus
Once in the country, it should not be difficult to find a bus going to UB, at least from larger towns. However, bus stops are difficult to locate, with buses usually just stopping in populated areas. Furthermore, Mongolian buses are notorious for being late and on some routes for not even arriving on the scheduled day.Domestic buses usually go to Dragon Center СХÐ18-Ñ Ñ Ð¾Ñоо, 18072 УлаанбааÑаÑ, Teevriin Tovchoo near Main Railway Station and the eastern bus station near the Botanical Gardens the Gardens are completely destroyed, but the location is well known to the locals.
By train
Direct but long journeys are possible from Moscow, Russia and Beijing, China on the Trans-Mongolian line of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Trains also run to the Chinese border towns of Erlian and Jining 3-4 times a week. There's also a daily train to/from Irkutsk in Russia, which can also be reached from Vladivostok at the eastern end of the Trans-Siberian.
Trains from Beijing run once a week on Tuesdays and seats can only be reserved at the International Hotel in Beijing a ten minute walk north of the main Beijing rail station. The journey takes about 30 hours. Packing a face mask might be a good idea as sandstorms in the Gobi desert may cause difficulty in breathing.
