ULN → ULO
Which side of the plane to sit from Chinggis Khaan International Airport (Ulan Bator) to Ulaangom Airport (Ulaangom)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Mongolian landscape, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the Uvs Nuur Basin and the dramatic transition from the Orkhon Valley forests to the northern sand dunes.
Search flights from ULN to ULO
Orkhon Valley
Fly over this UNESCO World Heritage site, the historic center of nomadic empires and early statehood.
Altan Els Sand Dunes
Spectacular views of the golden 'Great Sands' of the north, contrasting sharply with the surrounding greenery.
Uvs Nuur
Mongolia's largest lake by surface area, providing an incredible vista of saline water and salt marshes.
Kharkhiraa-Turgen Peaks
Glimpse the permanent snowfields and glaciers of the western Altai mountains during the final descent.
Choose the right side for the approach into Ulaangom, as the flight path often passes directly along the southern shore of Uvs Nuur. Sunset flights are particularly breathtaking here, as the lake reflects the changing colors of the sky.

Khangai Mountain Range
Aerial views of the rugged alpine peaks and high-altitude meadows of Central Mongolia.
Khorgo-Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur
Spot the distinct volcanic crater and the adjacent 'White Lake' formed by ancient lava flows.
Khyargas Lake
A massive, deep-blue salt lake situated within the Great Lakes Depression near the flight's end.
Zavkhan River
Watch the serpentine winding of this vital waterway as it cuts through the semi-arid western steppe.
The left side is ideal for travelers wanting to see the high mountain geography of the Khangai region. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, which illuminates the volcanic textures and mountain shadows perfectly.
