Stop At: Gandantegchenling Monastery, 1,5 KM North West of the Central Square, Ulaanbaatar Mongolia

Most Buddhist Monasteries in Mongolia were destroyed during the communist regime, which lasted until 1990. One of the only to survive was Gandan Monastery, being used as a showcase for visitors.

Stop At: Naran Tuul Market, Khoroo 14, Ulaanbaatar Mongolia

The Naran Tuul market is the great traditional market of the capital known also under the name of “Black market”. Located on the east side of the city, this market impresses by its stretch and kaleidoscopic atmosphere. Reputed for having plentiful products at low-cost, Naran Tuul attract as many city-dwellers as nomads, who come to get material supplies. The market is divided into different sections, for which one part is outdoor and is dedicated to bigger furniture such as couch, beds, and equipment for the gers. Anything can be found but essentially traditional Mongolian items needed for the daily life: traditional clothing, cashmere, boots, and saddles. A true immersion in the Mongolian culture for the ones desiring to discover another side of Mongolia.

Duration: 2 hours

We really enjoyed the day tour with our guide, Bayaraa. He picked us up from the hotel on time and drove us around the city (not walking / taxi as another reviewer mentioned). Our order of attractions, since the descriptions vary, was Gandantegchenling Monastery, Sükhbaatar Square, National History Museum, Black Market with lunch inside the mall next to the market, the Bogd Khan Winter Palace, and the cashmere shop near the palace. Traffic was crazy, but that is UB for you. Overall, a great way to spend our first day in UB and give us our bearings for the city! Thank you!
