Bulgan
8.5
Mid score (6-8)
Bulgan Soum in Khovd Province has seen some increase in adventure tourism over the past decade, with a handful of tour operators and basic guesthouses. Local women in the soum center have more exposure to foreigners than in deeper rural areas. Still, you're working against a small population (under 5,000) and limited leisure culture—most time revolves around seasonal herding work.
Lower score (below 6)
The soum is fundamentally rural and isolated. No nightlife, no social venues where you'd naturally meet women outside the herding community. Winter roads become impassable, and any relationship would require you to integrate into herding life or keep it entirely transactional.
