When to go
The best time to visit Mongolia is the
summer, from June to August, when the temperature remains above freezing even at night, at least in the plateau and in the mountains at low altitude.
It is true that summer is the rainiest period of the year, and it can get hot during the day, especially in the center and south and at lower altitudes, but at least, in this way you avoid the bitter cold. However, in summer, it can even get cold at night, so you have to be ready to cover and uncover, depending on hour and weather conditions, in addition, it is advisable to bring a scarf, for wind and dust protection.
What to pack
In
winter, it is necessary to bring clothes for the great cold, such as synthetic, thermal and long underwear, a fleece, a parka, a wind jacket, a hat, gloves, and warm boots.
In
summer, bring spring/autumn clothes, T-shirts for hot days, but also a long jacket for the wind, a sweater or sweatshirt for the evening and at high altitudes, a raincoat or umbrella, a scarf for the wind-borne dust, hiking shoes, sunscreen, and sunglasses. For high mountains, a down jacket, a hat, gloves, and a scarf. A sleeping bag and a warm jacket for outdoor overnight stays.
