What the numbers say
In 2026, Mongolia has 10 nationwide public holidays and Kazakhstan has 13, so Kazakhstan gets 3 more days off. They line up on 2 dates, including Шинэ жил (Shine jil) and Олон Улсын Эмэгтэйчүүдийн Баяр.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Mongolia has 7 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Kazakhstan (6 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Mongolia offers 2 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 4 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Kazakhstan offers 4 and 2. Mongolia has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is July in Mongolia and March in Kazakhstan.
