Practical Information for Your Trip
When planning your journey, it’s essential to consider the best time to visit. The Mongolian climate can be extreme, so knowing when to go can enhance your experience. The best time for a vacation in Mongolia is during the summer months (June to August), when temperatures are warm and the landscapes are lush.
Hidden Gems
While famous sites are a blast to visit, don’t overlook Mongolia's hidden treasures. One such gem is Middle Gobi, where you can witness spectacular sunrise views over the desert and gain powerful insights into local traditions. The Altai Mountains in the west also offer breathtaking landscapes and opportunities for rare wildlife sightings. Including such lesser-known spots in your travel package can make your experience even more enchanting.
Cultural and Historical Highlights
Mongolia is steeped in tradition and rich history, dating back to the times of Genghis Khan. Culture thrives here, from traditional music to the unique art of throat singing. Don’t miss the Naadam Festival, a grand celebration held in July, where you can witness the "Three Manly Sports" — wrestling, horse racing, and archery.
If you choose to buy a tour package that includes homestays, you will get the chance to experience the nomadic lifestyle first-hand. Staying with a local family provides a deeper understanding of their customs, food, and crafts.
