Winter in Mongolia is a time of quiet beauty, old traditions, and fun adventures. The land is covered in snow, the skies are clear and blue, and the air feels fresh and dry.
If you want a winter trip that’s different from the usual, Mongolia winter tours are a great choice. They are peaceful, not crowded, and full of special experiences you won’t forget.
Mongolia winter tours offer something truly special. During this season, the country feels calm, quiet, and full of beauty. The cold air is fresh, and the sky is often bright blue, making the snowy views look even more amazing. One of the best parts of a Mongolia winter tour is meeting local people. You can stay with nomadic families in warm, cozy yurts. Inside, there’s a fire to keep you warm. You’ll enjoy hot tea, home-cooked meals, and kind conversations. It’s a great way to learn about their daily life.
Yes, it can get very cold — sometimes down to -30°C (-22°F). But the air is dry, and the sun often shines, so it doesn’t feel as harsh. Most of all, Mongolia winter tours are more than just a vacation. They’re a chance to slow down, enjoy nature, and make memories that will stay with you forever.
Some nomadic families living in national parks or tourist areas run small businesses that rent out yurt to travelers. This gives you a great chance to experience their lifestyle up close. On our budget tours, you’ll stay in a traditional Ger Guesthouse. These usually have 4 to 6 beds and are shared only with other members of your tour group—not with strangers.
Please note: Most nomadic families don’t have formal toilets at their summer camps. The best you might find is a basic outdoor toilet, with walls on three sides for privacy. Also, some nomadic families’ gers may not have any shower facilities.
Standard Ger Camps are like hotels, but instead of rooms, you sleep in a yurt. These camps are usually near famous places.
A Standard Ger has 2 to 4 single beds, a small table, a stove to keep warm, and sometimes a a shelf or a small sink. However, there is no bathroom inside the ger. Instead, guests use clean shared toilets and hot showers located in a nearby building.. There is also a place to eat, and sometimes a small bar or game room.
Some camps have Ensuite Gers. These have a private bathroom inside the ger. If you want this type, please tell us. We can book it for you, but it costs extra.
