Common questions about Trains in Mongolia
What Trains routes are there in Mongolia?
We sell 48 Trains routes in Mongolia, serving 6 places, run by 2 operators. Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.

The cheapest Trains fare in Mongolia is €21.79 for one passenger, across the 48 routes we sell there. The median route runs 344 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.
Can I travel out of Mongolia by Trains?
36 of the Trains routes we sell touching Mongolia cross a border and 12 stay inside it, reaching 1 other countries including Russia. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.
Which operators run Trains services in Mongolia?
2 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in Mongolia: АО «ФПК», Оросын хамтарсан «Улаанбаатар төмөр зам». Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalog, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.
What is the longest Trains route in Mongolia?
The longest Trains route we sell touching Mongolia runs from Irkutsk to Ulan Bator, 522 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 344 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
