Khovd Airport (IATA: HVD) is the gateway to Mongolia's western landscapes, with a dash of charm and a sprinkle of chaos. If you were hoping for a sleek, modern terminal, you’re in for a treat — it’s more like a cozy gathering place for the local migratory birds and the occasional bewildered traveler. With only two flight routes, you’ll find your choices are as limited as the number of times you’ll want to eat airport food.
From Khovd, you can catch a flight to Ulaanbaatar, the capital where the city's bustle will make you forget the serene plains of Khovd — at least until you try to cross a street. Alternatively, you can head to Bayan-Ulgii, where the mountains will remind you that the world is bigger than your luggage. Pro tip: pack light; no one wants to be that person struggling with a suitcase on a bumpy runway.
