Sain baina uu! I’m Takeshi from Tsogto, a travel company specializing in Mongolia.<\/p>\r\n

With its magnificent nature and rich culture, Mongolia shows a different face in every season. But seasonal changes in weather and temperature have a big impact on how you prepare and what you can enjoy, so it pays to understand them in advance.<\/p>\r\n

Mongolia’s winter, in particular, is famously harsh, and you must be prepared for the cold. Summer, on the other hand, is full of life, with unmissable events such as the Naadam festival. In this article I’ll introduce the character of each of Mongolia’s four seasons, along with the places, festivals and activities to enjoy in each. I’ll also cover what to wear and bring for each season, to help you plan your trip.<\/p>\r\n

1. The Best Time to Visit Mongolia<\/h2>\r\n

1-1. Mongolia’s climate through the year<\/h3>\r\n

Mongolia has a continental climate, so temperatures vary widely over the year. The seasons are clearly defined: the shift from a harsh winter into spring, a short warm summer, and a beautiful autumn. In winter, temperatures can drop below \u221240\u00b0C, while in summer they can exceed 30\u00b0C. That’s why it’s important to prepare properly for the season you’ll be visiting.<\/p>\r\n

1-2. Peak season and off-season<\/h3>\r\n

The best time to visit Mongolia is summer (June to August). It’s relatively warm and many festivals take place, so it’s the most popular season with travelers. Winter, by contrast, is extremely cold, so there are fewer visitors and it’s the off-season. Even so, winter offers experiences you can only have in winter, such as snowy landscapes and ice festivals.<\/p>\r\n

Which season to choose depends on each traveler’s tastes and goals, but for first-timers we recommend summer.<\/p>\r\n

Let’s look at each season in turn.<\/p>\r\n

1-3. Spring (March\u2013May): weather and things to note<\/h3>\r\n

Spring is the season when life returns after the cold of winter. But there’s a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures, so you’ll need to layer up and down.<\/p>\r\n

It can also get very windy in spring, so don’t forget a hat or scarf to protect against the wind. Spring in Mongolia lets you feel a new season arriving.<\/p>\r\n

1-4. Summer (June\u2013August): weather and things to note<\/h3>\r\n

Summer is when Mongolia is at its liveliest. The weather turns warm and there’s much more you can do, from enjoying the great outdoors to joining traditional festivals such as Naadam.<\/p>\r\n

Summer is also the rainy season, though, and you may run into sudden showers or thunderstorms, so bring rain gear. That said, it rarely rains all day \u2014 it usually clears up quickly. Summer is the season to enjoy Mongolia’s culture and nature to the fullest.<\/p>\r\n

1-5. Autumn (September\u2013November): weather and things to note<\/h3>\r\n

Autumn is when Mongolia’s scenery is at its most beautiful, and when you can enjoy hearty, flavorful food. However, the difference between day and night temperatures grows, so it’s important to bring clothes you can layer and warm gear.<\/p>\r\n

It can also get windy in autumn, so prepare for the wind as well. Autumn in Mongolia is the season of good food and great views.<\/p>\r\n

1-6. Winter (December\u2013February): weather and things to note<\/h3>\r\n

Winter is Mongolia’s harshest season, but the beauty created by that harshness is another of Mongolia’s charms. Temperatures drop dramatically, so you’ll need a thick coat, a hat, gloves and other cold-weather gear.<\/p>\r\n

Once you’re prepared for the cold, though, snow-covered landscapes, ice festivals and other winter-only experiences await. In winter you can feel both the severity and the beauty of Mongolia’s nature at once.<\/p>\r\n

1-7. What to wear and bring in each season<\/h3>\r\n

What you need depends on when you visit. Here are the basics for each season.<\/p>\r\n
