Mongolia has something to offer all year round. The event of the summer is the colourful Naadaam Festival, whereas the countryside is at its most beautiful in autumn. Spring and winter are cold and quiet – wrap up warm and explore the capital, Ulaanbaatar, or seek out natural hot springs.
Nomadic Mongolians are famous for their hospitality. Prepare to be welcomed into any ‘ger’ with a small gift to thank your host.
