Mongolia is known for its natural beauty, from the tall mountains, blue lakes, and huge steppes. Travellers can go hiking, horseback riding, or camping and see wonders.

Mongolians are also known for being hospitable. It can be easier to find people to talk with or offer you help if you need it. But, despite the beauty of the rural areas, the cities are truly modern.

There is much to see and do in the former home of the Mongolian Empire.

Mongolia has a continental climate with very long and cold winters and short summers. Winter nights often reach near zero. But, summers can easily reach over 35 degrees. The country is very sunny, with an average of 250 sunny days each year. There is very little rainfall in Mongolia, the most occurring in July and August.

Mongolia is a relatively safe country to visit. Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing or bag-snatching, does occur in crowded places. Muggings are on the rise. Avoid travelling alone in unknown, dark neighborhoods. Travellers should take precautions when visiting large cities or when travelling at night. Travel in groups and do not enter unmarked taxis.

An amazing way to experience the Mongolian nomad’s life is to go on a Mongolian Horse Trek. You will ride through the steppes, fish in clear rivers and get to know nomad families. You can also camp outdoors in beautiful fields or near sacred Mongolian places. This is the ideal adventure for those who love the outdoors and want to understand the nomadic lifestyle.

Be sure to bring these items with you on your trip to Mongolia:

  • Comfortable Shoes – Mongolia is known for its beautiful scenery. To see it all, you’ll want to have a comfortable pair of shoes.
  • Warm Clothing – Mongolia can get below freezing in the winter. Make sure you pack very warm clothes if visiting then.
  • Plug Adapters – Mongolian power sockets are type C and E. An adapter is needed when travelling.

Canadian consular services can help travellers with many issues they may face including passport services. Once in Mongolia, the information for the Canadian Embassy is:
