Current trends: Ulaanbaatar's hostel scene continues to function as a tour-booking hub as much as a place to sleep, with Golden Gobi's epic free breakfast and Town Yard Hostel's nomad-family connections reflecting a city built around launching travellers into Gobi Desert camel treks and steppe ger stays rather than around its own nightlife.

Hostel One district — Home to a Korean restaurant, coffee shop, KFC, and underground bar in the building near Hostel One.
Gobi Desert and steppe touring region — Reached via tours organized from Ulaanbaatar, offering camel riding in the Gobi Desert and staying with nomads in gers on the steppe.
