Tipping · 🇲🇳

Tipping in Mongolia

Customary: 10%. Not traditional. Normal in Ulaanbaatar restaurants used to visitors.

At restaurants

What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting

Worked example

On a ₮200,000.00 bill, 10% is ₮20,000.00, so you would hand over ₮220,000.00.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about ₮20,000.00 per person.

On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.

Expected on guided trips. On a ger-camp tour the driver and the cook are tipped alongside the guide, at the end.
