Filming locations in Mongolia, across all 21 provinces.
Tap a province to see its main sights, the people who live there and what it offers a film crew. Icons mark Kazakh eagle hunters, Dukha reindeer herders, nomadic families, Gobi camel herders, snow leopard ranges, high mountains, dinosaur fossil sites, fishing, bird migration and national parks, and each province shows its altitude. Switch to Key sites to see the main landmarks and the highest peaks.
Swipe sideways to see the whole map.
Nomadic herding families live in almost every province; the nomad icon marks provinces where herding is a main way of life, and is left off the two mostly urban provinces, Orkhon and Darkhan-Uul. Khalkh Mongols are the largest group nationwide; ethnic groups are listed as the main communities in each province. Bird migration peaks from mid-April to May and from mid-August to October. Fishing for taimen is catch-and-release only and needs a permit. Snow leopards live in the high Altai and Gobi mountains and are rarely seen. Ulaanbaatar is a separate capital municipality and is not one of the 21 provinces. Altitudes are approximate: the province figure is the altitude of its capital town, and peak heights vary slightly between surveys. Boundaries simplified from Natural Earth.
Trusted by international film professionals.
One of the projects we remember most fondly dates back to 2005, when OnVelvet Mongolia worked closely with French casting director Audrey Gatimel on a major French film production in Mongolia. Our team managed an extensive casting process involving more than 3,500 people across Ulaanbaatar and Darkhan, helping the production find the right faces and characters for the film.
Over approximately six weeks of preparation and production, we also worked closely with acclaimed French director Guillaume Nicloux, supporting the project locally and helping coordinate the demanding production requirements on the ground in Mongolia. A particular highlight for our team was having the opportunity to work with Monica Bellucci, the star of the film. The production was made with UGC-YM, bringing together an experienced French creative team and our local production crew in Mongolia.
More than two decades later, we remain grateful for the trust placed in us and for the opportunity to work alongside such accomplished filmmakers and international production professionals. Experiences like these helped shape OnVelvet Mongolia into the production partner it is today — combining strong local knowledge, large-scale casting capability, production coordination and close collaboration with international creative teams.

“J'ai contacté en last minute Onvelvet pour du matériel video pour un shooting en Mongolie pour notre client (Louis Vuitton). L'accueil de Ulzii fut exceptionnel!! Son aide et sa patience ont rendu ce projet possible. Il s'est même déplacé à 3h du matin pour une livraison à l'aéroport de Ulan Bator. Bravo et merci Ulzii et Onvelvet, nous reviendrons en Mongolie!!”

“What can I say, Ash and his company get the job done at the highest standard. On arrival in Mongolia Ash kindly met me during the early hours of the morning, 1:30am, to collaborate on a high pressure plan for the production. This is a rare sign of commitment, flexibility and support. Highly recommend this company. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
