Guide
Mongolia's roads vary from well-maintained paved roads in cities to gravel and dirt roads outside urban areas. Remote areas may have rough off-road tracks. Prepare for weather changes affecting road conditions, and consider having a GPS or map for navigation. Plan fuel stops strategically, as gas stations can be scarce in remote regions. Respect local driving customs and be cautious of livestock on the roads.
