Ulaanbaatar boasts the unique title of being the world's coldest capital city, set amidst Mongolia's vast steppes at an elevation of 1,300 meters. The city began its story in 1639 as a nomadic Buddhist monastic centre that moved locations, reflecting Mongolia's deep-rooted nomadic culture. The heart of Mongolia and home to half its population, Ulaanbaatar today stands as a lively metropolis, nestled in a valley by the Tuul River.

This high-altitude capital offers an engaging blend of fierce history, vibrant culture, sophisticated cuisine, and dynamic nightlife. From the awe-inspiring Gandan Monastery, the largest and most important Buddhist site in Mongolia, to the bustling Naran Tuul Market, where one can find everything from stunning cashmere to striking horse saddles, Ulaanbaatar is a destination that is both enchanting and enigmatic.
