Mongolia adventure holidays - small-group and tailor-made

Discover adventure holidays with the leading Asia travel experts on small-group or tailor-made tours.

Mongolia, the land of the eternal blue sky, is a country of vast steppes, towering mountains, and ancient nomadic traditions. Nestled between Russia and China, this remote yet captivating destination offers endless landscapes, rich history, and unparalleled adventure.

The legendary Gobi Desert, with its rolling dunes and fossil-strewn cliffs, contrasts with the snow-capped Altai Mountains, home to eagle hunters and Kazakh nomads. Experience the nomadic way of life, staying in traditional gers (yurts), riding Mongolian horses, or trekking through the dramatic Orkhon Valley, once the heart of Genghis Khan’s empire.

Ulaanbaatar, the capital, offers a fascinating blend of modern development and Buddhist heritage, with landmarks such as Gandan Monastery and Chinggis Khaan Square. History lovers can explore Karakorum, the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire, while adventure seekers can witness the Naadam Festival, where locals showcase their mastery in horse racing, archery, and wrestling.

From the rugged wilderness of the Khovsgol Lake region to the dramatic Flaming Cliffs, Mongolia is a place of raw, untouched beauty where the spirit of the past thrives in the present.
Discover Mongolia with Asian Geographical—where history, adventure, and wilderness meet in an unforgettable journey.

WEATHER IN Mongolia

The best time to visit Mongolia is during its summer months, from June to August. This period offers warmer temperatures and clearer skies, making it ideal for exploring the country's vast landscapes and experiencing nomadic culture.

  • Mongolia experiences a diverse range of weather patterns due to its vast size and varying landscapes. In the northern regions, such as Khuvsgul and Arkhangai, winters are harsh with temperatures plummeting well below freezing, often reaching -30°c or lower. Snowfall is common, creating picturesque landscapes ideal for winter activities like skiing and ice fishing. Summers in the north are relatively mild, with temperatures averaging around 20°c, making it a pleasant time for outdoor adventures like hiking and horseback riding.
  • In central Mongolia, including the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, the climate is characterized by a large temperature range between summer and winter. Winters are extremely cold, with temperatures dropping as low as -40°c, while summers are warm, with temperatures reaching up to 30°c. Spring and autumn are short but enjoyable seasons, with mild temperatures and colorful foliage.
  • Southern Mongolia, encompassing the Gobi Desert, experiences extreme temperature fluctuations throughout the year. Winters are cold, but not as severe as in the north, with temperatures averaging around -15°c. Summers are scorching hot, with temperatures soaring above 40°c. The best time to visit Mongolia depends on your interests. For those seeking winter activities, December to February offers unique experiences like reindeer sledding and visiting ice festivals. However, for general tourism and outdoor exploration, the best time to visit Mongolia is during the summer months from June to August, when the weather is warm and conducive to outdoor activities across all regions.
