Explore ULAANBAATAR with Pamela MacNaughtan as she finishes the epic 10,000-mile MONGOL RALLY!

Mongolia may incite thoughts of barren fields, remote mountain ranges and peaceful Buddhism, but its capital, Ulaanbaatar (also spelled Ulan Bator) is anything but. Busy, booming and bursting with life, Ulaanbaatar is an exciting—if not overwhelming—break from the isolation that fills most of Mongolia. Be prepared for heavy traffic and lots of concrete, and a cultural and commercial scene that sees fashion boutiques, museums and restaurants filling the city. It’s the last thing you expect to find in a city renowned for its remoteness and high elevation that makes it the coldest national capital in the world.
