Most Mongolia visitors come during the summer months, from mid-May to mid-September. The summer offers the widest range of tours and adventures for visitors along with temperatures that range from the mid-50s to the mid-80s, depending on what region of the country you visit. (Temperatures along the north and in the west are cooler than in the Gobi, which features the hottest summer temperatures.) Mongolia Travel during a “shoulder season” – early May to late September – to find better prices and more availability than during the middle of the summer. Winter ups the ante on only-in-Mongolia vacation experiences. Have you always dreamed of watching the camel festival? Wondered what it would be like to glide quietly across a snowy landscape by dog sled, or on skis? Winter is the perfect time to experience Mongolia as Mongolians do – and to take part in our favorite annual events. In February and March, a several range of festivals and celebrations combine with warmer weather and more daylight hours for perfect winter vacation conditions.

International flights arrive and depart from Chingis Khaan airport /Ulaanbaatar/. The train passes through the frontier posts of Sukhbaatar and Zamyn Uud. The passport must be valid for six months after the exit date from Mongolia. Newly arrived visitors must fill out a declaration form with the amount of money /unlimited / they are bringing in and declare any objects of value. This form must be kept until departure. Keep all receipts for expensive purchases, especially souvenirs. Antiques and fossils can be taken out of the country with a special certificate and receipt from an officially licensed dealer. Because of increased smuggling, bags are randomly searched at train stations and airports. The export of animal furs is subject to a special authorization.

As one of the highest and most landlocked countries in the world, Mongolia us subject to extreme continental climate-with scorching hot summers and long sub-arctic winters. The average temperature in Ulaanbaatar is -25?C /-13F/ in winter and 16?C /60F/ in summer, although the capital can boast 260 sunny days per year. The summer travel season goes from May 15 to October 15. June is usually blistering hot and dries while August is cooler but wet. Most travelers come to Mongolia in mid July for the annual National Naadam Festival. September and October are very good months to see the Gobi. Spring /March to mid – May/ can be unpleasant. Snow may still cover the steppes and mountain passes, and where it is melting there is potential for flooding.
