Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we have received over the years. We hope that by answering them here, we can help make your holiday in Mongolia wonderful and stress-free.
Do I really need a guide to explore Mongolia?
Yes. Though Mongolia is rapidly expanding economically and politically, it is still a challenging destination for foreigners. Mobility and access may become difficult for non-Mongolian speakers. Hiring a travel agency helps ensure that your Mongolian holiday is smooth, free from the frustrations caused by language as well as cultural barriers.
When is the best time to go to Mongolia?
We suggest May to September. The peak season is in July, when the Naadam Festival is held. Even though there are some rains in July and August, there is still more than enough sunshine to let you enjoy the trip. If you plan to see the Gobi, June and September are good months, to avoid the heat
Is Mongolia safe for tourists?
Yes, very safe. In fact, the crime rate in Mongolia is one of the lowest in the world—certainly much, much lower compared to the figures in the US and in Europe.
What is the Mongolian accommodation like?
Ulaanbaatar is home to a range of accommodation options including 4 and 5-star hotels. If you are exploring the countryside, you will sleep in tents and in Mongolian Ger camps. These camps typically have separate washing blocks with western-style toilets and shower cubicles. Laundry, shopping, and eating facilities are provided. Book with a reputable travel company to ensure that your camping and ger accommodation is of the highest standard.
Is there electricity in the camps?
Yes. In most camps, you will be able to charge your camera batteries and mobile phone.
Do I need vaccinations prior to travelling to Mongolia?
There are standard vaccinations recommended such as Hepatatis A and Tetanus/Diptheria/Typhoid to go on a holiday in Mongolia. Please consult your doctor for the latest information at least 8 weeks before travelling.
What should I bring?
Pack for all weather conditions - a lightweight waterproof jacket, fleece top, comfortable walking boots, a pair of sandals, and a headscarf to protect your face from the winds and the sun. Also bring some insect repellent, lip-salveand basic medicine for diarrhoea, headaches, etc. Of course, don’t forget your camera and binoculars.
