If you are staying for more than 30 days you must register with Mongolian Immigration within seven days of arrival.

Mongolia has a continental climate with very long and cold winters and short summers. Winter nights often reach the 40’s. But, summers can easily reach the 100’s. 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 traveling alone in unknown, dark neighborhoods. Travelers should take precautions when visiting large cities or when traveling at night. Travel in groups and do not enter unmarked taxis.

Avoid an Embarrassing Stop

Diarrhea can easily ruin a trip.Over 70% of travelers
will have diarrhea.

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 traveling.

When traveling it is very helpful to find out exactly where the U.S. embassy or consulates are located. Keep the address written down in case you have a legal problem, you lose your passport, or you want to report a crime. Be sure to keep a copy of your passport with you in case you lose the original.
