Arun: In Mongolia you can get cash advances from a credit card at banks in UB and a few other larger Mongolian cities (Darkhan, Erdenet), but no ATMs/cash machines (except for a few that do cash advance for Visa cards and often eat the cards, so not recommended).

Camping in Mongolia is easy and free, so you could save some money by doing that.
