Mongolia is open to leisure tourism and is actively receiving visitors, with 2026 arrivals running well ahead of prior periods. The main current friction is a nationwide fuel shortage that can disrupt flights and road travel, especially outside Ulaanbaatar, rather than any war- or terrorism-driven closure. It is still a rewarding destination, but logistics can be unpredictable.
