Altai Travel Guide
Mongolia
Altai is a small city in western Mongolia, with a population of around 15,800. It serves as a local centre in a remote part of the country, where distances between settlements can be considerable.
Travellers arriving by air use Altai Airport (LTI). Altai is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so the city is better suited to exploring Mongolia’s land-based landscapes than to a beach trip.

Tipping: Tipping in Mongolia is not as customary as in some Western countries, but it is becoming increasingly common, especially in tourist-related services. While not mandatory, a small tip for good service is always appreciated.
