We’ve simplified all the information for you! From flights to trains, visas, and Mongolian embassy details, we’ve got you covered!
Many people think that traveling to Mongolia is complicated, distant, and difficult. However, that’s completely false! In fact, traveling to Mongolia is just as easy—if not easier—than planning a self-made road trip from the USA to Canada, and often within the same budget range!
At GER to GER, we’re here to help you. Why should you miss out on visiting this legendary country, once home to the World’s Largest Nomadic Empire? Mongolia offers an adventure like no other—real outdoor experiences, hearty food, drinks, and diverse cultures. While the rest of Asia has become a hub for globalized (Western-style) entertainment, Mongolia remains an untouched, authentic adventure park. Having lived and worked in Mongolia for over 25 years, I can confidently say that Mongolia is the premiere unspoiled adventure destination in Asia! Think epic 4×4 off-road jeep tours, authentic nomadic experiences, and truly rustic surroundings, just like during the time of Marco Polo. It’s the ultimate experience for those craving real adventure!

MONGOLIAN CLIMATE & TRAVEL SEASONS
Tourism season is between June and October. Summer extremes reach as high as 38° C in the southern Gobi region and 33° C in Ulaanbaatar city. Ulaanbaatar lies at 1,351 meters above sea level in the valley of the Tuul Gol, a river. Located in the relatively well-watered north, it receives an annual average of 31 centimeters of precipitation, almost all of which falls in July and in August. Ulaanbaatar has an average annual temperature of -2.9°C and a frost-free period extending on the average from mid-June to late August.
May and September are considered as Mongolia’s shoulder tourism season. On these months, if you plan your trip not only you get roughly 10-20 percent discount on your hotel and transportation cost but also you enjoy the country with fewer tourists – however – weather can be changeable so please don’t forget to pack your warm fleece jackets for a cold snap.
From October to May is considered as a low tourism season in Mongolia and most ger camps and guesthouses are closed. The coldest months are December and January with temperatures dropping down to -15C daytime and -30C+ nighttime. In countryside, cold temperature across the open valleys with windchill will easily reach more than -35C. Winter tour activities such as visiting nomadic families at their winter shelter, horseback riding, traveling by ox cart with warm blankets and dogsledding are available in low season. From March to the late May is considered a spring season or breeding season and the weather in the springtime can be unpredictable. Sometimes you can see different weather conditions from sunny clear day to snowing cloudy day all just in one day and it’s coming that dust storms can spice up from time to time. Its’ during this time that Nomads start receiving and taking care of newborn animals as well as preparing sheep and goats for cashmere combing or shearing.
