Kharkhorin (Karakorum) Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Erdene Zuu and the nearby sights are a 2km walk from town; otherwise ask around for a lift (about T500).

Hitching

Hitching along the main road between Ulaanbaatar and Kharkhorin is fairly easy, but remember that a lot of vehicles will be carrying tourists, so they may not want to pick up a hitchhiker. Getting a lift between Arvaikheer and Kharkhorin is less likely, but if you’re patient something will come along.

Hitchhiking between Kharkhorin and Khujirt shouldn’t be too much of a hassle; many Mongolians take the Ulaanbaatar to Kharkhorin road to reach the popular spa town of Khujirt. In Kharkhorin, ask around the container market, or just stand by the road.
