Mongolia is a remote country with unpredictable weather and an underdeveloped infrastructure. It is therefore most important that you come prepared. Learn as much as you can about travel in Mongolia before you set out, and in that way you should be set to enjoy your vacation to the full.
Mongolia remains one of the last great adventure destinations in Asia. Located between China and Russia, it is three times the size of France, yet with a population of only 3.4 million is one of the most sparsely inhabited countries in the world. It is also one of the highest countries in the world with an average elevation of 1580 metres - the highest peak Tavanbogd Uul at 4374 metres has a magnificent glacier that towers over Mongolia, Russia and China. Between the peaks lay austere deserts but elsewhere Mongolia has numerous saltwater and freshwater lakes, the largest of which is Lake Hovsgol. The Mongolian climate is extreme with long sub-arctic winters. But, with over 260 sunny days a year, it is also known as the 'Land of the Blue Sky'.
Friendly advice: When traveling to Mongolia, it is important to take into account the vast cultural and language differences between that of your nation and Mongolia. It is possible to travel through Western Mongolia without the use of a travel service, but it is strongly recommended that you use the services of a travel agent for your own convenience and safety. Mongolia is experiencing rapid economic, political, and cultural changes, but is still very much closed to foreigners in the way that mobility through the country and access to certain amenities can be very difficult for a non-Mongolian speaker. By using a travel service such as ours (Kazakh Tours LLC), you can be ensured that your travel through Mongolia will be smooth and easy, and that you will experience Mongolia without having to deal with the frustrations and inconvenience with language and cultural barriers that you will experience if you elect not to use a travel service.

Generally, a Mongolian visa is issued at the Mongolian Embassy or Consulate in the applicant’s home country or nearest third country.

This is applicable to citizens of certain countries only so you should check the visa waiver section of mongoliavisa.com website first.
