Nalaikh is a former coal-mining town and one of the nine districts of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. The district covers 68,700 hectares and had a population of 39,579 in 2022, up from 26,529 in 2005. It consists of Shokhoi, Arjanchivlan, the Terelj holiday center and other residential areas, as well as a former Soviet military cantonment that includes an airfield. A 43-kilometer narrow-gauge railway built in July 1938 linked Nalaikh to Ulaanbaatar, and the Kapitalnaya coal shaft went into operation in 1951. Nalaikh gained city status in 1961, became a raion of Ulaanbaatar in 1965, and was established as a district after the 1992 reorganization of Mongolia's administrative divisions. Since the coal mine closed in the 1990s the district has had a high rate of unemployment.
