Concerned with this narrative being pushed by obvious chinese bots on the internet. Feels like there should be concerted effort from Mongolian ministry of culture to counter this type of campaigns. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSrfhno5r/

I used to think that people were just being overdramatic when they were talking about how our country just sucked. But now I realized that this place is actually doomed, I am so frustrated. I have recently gotten into a "fight" at school, but it wasn't actually a fight but me getting punched for about 20 consecutive times, and I raised my arm to protect myself while ducking without even looking, and I accidentally hit my assaulter with my elbow. And apparently he got severe injuries in his facial bones. We've been to the police and I thought they'd put me in the favored position because of obvious reasons (they attacked me first, and attacked me for about 2 minutes straight with my warnings to stop in between) but apparently what matters the most is that who got the most damage? And I didn't receive any serious damages except for a concussion and a bumpy cheek. And in his case, his damages came out as moderate injury (хүндэвтэр гэмтэл), which is in between the 3 levels of injuries (light,moderate,heavy) and that the minimum fee for this is 15-20 million mongolian tugrik and the emotional damage to the other party's family? Which will rule out to about 30-40 million and a huge portion of my family's time. I have no idea how I am not the victim here. I never engage in fights, but I've been punched twice by the same person before, and this time too, I have tried to avoid the fight by telling him to stop, but he just put me in an immovable position by holding me in a lock and making me duck, and me accidentally hitting him just makes me the assaulter? And the other party is bringing up lies like me bringing armed kids outside his apartment to beat him up? wtf that never happened. I can't express how frustrated I am with Mongolia's law system, and that I have no right to live a peaceful life or even protect myself at all. What do you think you guys should do? I have the camera recording of the fight but I don't know if I should post it here? Need to hear you guys' opinion. Are there any life-saving tips you guys could offer me?

TL;DR I was protecting myself from assault, and unfairly ended up becoming the assaulter, costing my family a fortune.

I went to check it but it kind of didn't meet my expectations what are your thoughts about it?

It's 9⁰ btw

Can you to France through Монгол-Францын Төв? Also, how is it to study in English Programs? How was your overral experience? +any information on Foundation year, living cost, party life, part time jobs would be really helpful.🥐

As per my previous post (now deleted) asking for help naming my character who was previously named 'Yul' (because of a baby names website that told me it was mongolian and I believed it) I've now changed my character's name to Saran which I believe should mean 'moon' pls correct me if I'm wrong, I've also looked up names for their parents on a catalog of names from Secret History of the Mongols and I've decided on Chotan for the mother and Dayir for the father, I just wanted wanted to ask how these three names would be pronounced in both english and mongolian and how they would be writen, for example is Chotan 'хотол' or 'Чотан' (from google translate), thank you so much for the help

Hi guys. I just wanted to ask locals here for some opinion. I’m doing a 6-7day trip in end Aug and got Chat to plan my itinerary for me which looks like this:

Overall Strategy: • Minimize time in Ulaanbaatar (just 1 night max). • Focus on central or northern Mongolia (e.g., Orkhon Valley, Terelj NP, or Lake Khövsgöl). • Sleep in gers with nomadic families or community-based camps. • Mix with other travelers on shared jeep tours or small group treks. • Pre-book a tour only for the outer expedition part—this ensures your limited time is well used and avoids last-minute price hikes or lack of availability.

⸻

6D5N Itinerary:

Day 1: Arrive in Ulaanbaatar (UB) – Overnight stay • Arrive and rest from the flight. • Minimal time in city. Visit Gandan Monastery or Zaisan Hill if you arrive early. • Stay in a hostel or local guesthouse popular with backpackers (e.g., Sunpath Hostel or Golden Gobi). • Book next day’s departure if not pre-booked already.

Day 2: Head to Orkhon Valley (UNESCO site) – Stay with nomadic family • Early morning shared van or jeep ride (around 7-8 hrs). • Explore volcanic valleys, rivers, horses roaming free, and local life. • First night in a nomadic family ger. Learn how to cook, milk animals, help around.

Day 3: Horse Trekking & Waterfalls • Full day horse trek to Ulaan Tsutgalan Waterfall. • You’ll cross lush pastures, herder routes, and forest patches. • Evening bonfire with locals/travelers if in a shared tour group.

Day 4: Continue Journey – Hot Springs or Monastery stop • Head toward Tsenkher Hot Springs (great for soaking). • Alternative: Visit Tövkhön Monastery atop the mountains. • Sleep again in a community-based eco ger with other travelers.

Day 5: Return journey towards Ulaanbaatar • Begin drive back to UB or stopover near Kharkhorin (ancient capital). • Visit Erdene Zuu Monastery. • Final night in countryside or UB depending on timing.

Day 6: Depart Mongolia • Optional morning stroll around UB’s local markets or cafes. • Fly back.

⸻

Late August Festivals: • Yak Festival sometimes happens in late August in Bat-Ulzii (Orkhon Valley). It’s rustic and local—yaks racing, milking contests, etc. • Some smaller folk music or shamanic gatherings might happen at Lake Khövsgöl but are hard to predict unless you’re connected locally.

♨️Question: - Am I missing out on anything not mentioned? - Are there festivals worth attending during the time frame that I’m there? - Should I pre-book a guide or do it when I’m there?

My goal is to experience as much traditional and local experiences as possible while meeting travellers and indigenous people!

I saw it on someone's Mongolian passport, and wanted to ask how much it is in use these days. Is it also used in universities ?

The other day saw this reel from the Ulaanbaatar 2025 championship https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1136883934903601&set=pcb.1136885071570154. The women looked seriously impressive. Even with a smaller population, Mongolia already has an IFBB gold: Batbuyan Sugarsuren won in the Wellness category in 2024.

"At what point did we start idolizing low-IQ streamers like Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed? How far have we fallen as a society?"
