Mongolia: New Border Crossings Open!
Hi All: For any of you heading overland to Mongolia, there is some good news. This announcement came out this week:
"In an effort to promote tourism, the Government of Mongolia has announced that foreigners may now enter Mongolia by automobile or motorcycle at four additional land border crossings. The affected border crossings include: Tsagaan Nuur in Bayan Ulgii province, Altanbulag in Selenge province, Ereen Tsav in Dornod province and Zamiin Uud in Dornogobi province. These permanent highway checkpoints are open five days a week, Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Foreigners may present their valid passports with visas (if needed) to cross the Mongolian border at these points. "
Previous to this only the Zamiin Uud (to China) and the Altanbulag (to Russia) points were open to overland vehicle travelers.
