What to do and see in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

September 5, 2021 Etsuko Causey

Located in the northern part of the country, high above sea level, Ulan Bator is the coldest capital city in the world. The cultural and business center of Mongolia, and a hub connecting the Trans-Siberian Railway with the Chinese rail system, Ulan Bator has become a thriving urban center in one of the most remote locations in the world. Visit the Tibetan-style Gandan Monastery, one of the few buildings in Ulan Bator to predate WWII and one of the few monasteries to survive the Soviet purge.

Mary & Martha Mongolia

Fair & Ethicalr - supporting about 150 Mongolian & ethnic Kazakh artisans from all over Mongolia. From the most simple product to the most high end QUALITY is key. Artisans and Mary & Martha make a sustainable living and customers buy quality, useful products at reasonable prices. We are the only shop that buys all its products before we sell because we want to be fair to artisans and we believe in the products - all other shops pay artisans if their products sell. New branch in Orgil at the Terelj turn on the Nalaikh highway.

There are quality, fairly-priced souvenirs both large and small, all skilfully handcrafted by local artisans, so by purchasing their goods, you are really helping to support and empower the local community. I left with a stunningly elegant bag made by a Kazakh artisan and a gorgeously colourful zip pouch upcycled from decorative wall hangings. I also had the most wonderful conversation with the founder/owner Irene and learned a lot from her, and found the rest of the staff all very beautiful and kind. My visit to Mary & Martha truly left a smile on my face, and I could not recommend them highly enough.

Lotus Thai Massage

Reviewed By geraldc596 - Texas, United States

The first time I visited they did not have any availability. The receptionist spoke good English. Unfortunately, the next availability was several hours away. The receptionist gave me a business card and told me to call ahead. The next day when I called I was given an appointment time. I arrived ahead of time and was moved to one of the massage tables. I had scheduled for a 90 minute massage. The place was very clean. There were curtains between the tables and everyone talked in whispers. The masseuse was excellent. She seemed well trained and asked for feedback during the massage. I felt the massage three days later. I will definitely use their service again.
