Yes! Your Mongolia eSIM can be installed as early as 30 days before you travel. It won’t start until you touch down in Mongolia.
Installing beforehand means no setup stress on arrival, and it won’t use any data or days until you land.
If you get an activation warning on iPhone when installing before arriving, that ’s normal - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for details.
Once activated in Mongolia, your eSIM typically won’t function outside that country.
If you're planning to hop between countries, we recommend checking out our regional Travel eSIMs - they’re made for multi-country use and cover most major regions.

Top 3 things to do in Mongolia
Experience Nomadic Life in the Mongolian Steppe
Mongolia is one of the last places on Earth where nomadic culture thrives, and visiting a traditional ger (yurt) camp is the best way to experience it. Travellers can stay with a local family, helping with herding livestock, milking yaks, and making traditional dairy products like airag (fermented mare’s milk). The vast, open Mongolian steppe stretches as far as the eye can see, offering an unforgettable sense of freedom. Whether you're riding horses across the plains or sitting by a fire under a star-filled sky, this experience will connect you with Mongolia’s ancient way of life.
Explore the Breathtaking Gobi Desert
The Gobi Desert is one of Mongolia’s most spectacular landscapes, home to towering sand dunes, rugged mountains, and fascinating wildlife. A must-visit is the Khongoryn Els dunes, also known as the ‘Singing Dunes’, where the wind creates eerie musical sounds as it moves the sand. You can ride Bactrian camels, visit the Flaming Cliffs (Bayanzag)-a famous site for dinosaur fossils-or camp under the vast desert sky. The Gobi’s dramatic landscapes and extreme beauty make it an unmissable destination for adventurers and nature lovers alike.
Visit the Hustai National Park and See Wild Horses
Hustai National Park is one of the few places in the world where you can see the Przewalski’s horse, the last truly wild horse species. These horses were once extinct in the wild but have been successfully reintroduced to Mongolia. The park also offers excellent hiking, wildlife spotting, and panoramic mountain views. Visitors may see red deer, marmots, and golden eagles while exploring this pristine landscape. Located just a few hours from Ulaanbaatar, Hustai National Park is a great place to experience Mongolia’s wilderness and conservation efforts.
