The New Weekly Nonstop
No fares for this route were showing on Wego when we checked on 30 September, so check Hunnu Air directly for tickets.
The Ulaanbaatar flight leaves in the small hours, so you land in Delhi in time for a full first day.
Hunnu Air started nonstop flights between Delhi and Ulaanbaatar on 28 September 2026, once a week on Mondays. Before this, the trip took 13 to 18 hours with a change in Beijing or Incheon, The Tribune reports. The nonstop takes about five and a half hours.
The route runs until 27 March 2027 on the airline’s published timetable, which says times may change without notice. The aircraft is an Embraer E195-E2, according to AeroRoutes.
Indian travelers still need a visa for Mongolia. Some reports of the launch said the two countries offer visa-free travel. Mongolia’s official list of visa-exempt countries does not include India, so apply for the e-visa before you book.
Planning Around a Monday Flight
- One flight a week each way: you fly out on a Monday and come back on a Monday, so a round trip on the nonstop lasts about a week.
- Leaving Delhi at 08:00: you land in Ulaanbaatar at 16:00, in time to check in and settle before evening.
- Leaving Ulaanbaatar at 03:30: head to the airport late on Sunday night. You reach Delhi at 07:00 on Monday morning.
- Time difference: Ulaanbaatar is two and a half hours ahead of Delhi.
- Winter season: the route runs through Mongolia’s winter, so pack warm clothing.
Visas and Baggage Before You Book
- Indians visiting Mongolia: India is not on the list of countries exempt from tourist visas in 2026. Indian citizens can apply online at evisa.mn instead.
- How the e-visa works: it covers stays of up to 30 days, and you receive it by email within 48 hours, says the Embassy of Mongolia in New Delhi. Carry a digital or printed copy for the airline and border officers.
- Mongolians visiting India: Mongolia is on India’s e-Visa eligible list, so you can apply online before you fly.
- Baggage: check the allowance on your ticket before you pay, especially if you are carrying winter clothing.
The Delhi flight lands in Ulaanbaatar at 16:00, so a room from your arrival day is enough. On the way back, the flight leaves at 03:30 on Monday, so plan to check out on Sunday evening.
