Filming Environment in Ulaanbaatar

A capital wedged between Soviet-era blocks and the vast steppe, Ulaanbaatar is the gateway to Mongolia’s otherworldly nomadic landscapes.

For crews, the practical upside is clear: Signature options include Sukhbaatar Square; Gandantegchinlen Monastery; ger (yurt) districts; steppe outskirts. Different productions lean on different corners of the city, and knowing which to use — and when — is where local experience pays off.

Local Crew and Production Resources
