There are few paved roads in Bayan-Ölgii outside of Ölgii. Half the distance between Tsaagannuur village (30 km from the border crossing) and Ölgii is paved. The government of Mongolia plans to pave the Tsaagannuur to Ulaanbaatar route through Ölgii, Hovd, Altai-Govi, and Ovorkgangai by 2015. Currently only Ovorkangai to Ulaanbaatar is paved, or 600 km of the 1600 km distance. Regularly scheduled buses connect Ölgii to Ulaanbaatar, with trips leaving 3 days a week. The non-stop trip is 48 hours under ideal conditions, though often lasting 3 to 5 days. Stops are made along the ways for meals and restroom breaks. Olgii, Western Mongolia, 2015.
