high / low, °CAbout Darkhan
Darkhan, Mongolia’s second-largest city, offers a calm, affordable base for digital nomads 🏙️💻. It has a more local, less touristy feel than Ulaanbaatar, with basic services, some cafés, and a slower pace that suits focused work. Winters are very cold ❄️, so it’s best for nomads who value low costs and a quiet environment over big-city amenities.
