Hotels in Mongolia

Discover Mongolia

If you are looking for a warmer climate and want to enjoy local festivities, head to Mongolia between June and September. During these months, temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 20 to 30°C, ideal for exploring the Mongolian steppe and venturing into the Gobi Desert. Additionally, you can experience Naadam, a festival that celebrates traditional sports such as wrestling, archery, and horse racing. It is a kind of Mongolian version of the Olympic Games.

However, keep in mind that summer also corresponds to the high season. Hotel prices in Ulaanbaatar and flights can increase significantly. To save money and avoid excessive expenses, it is highly recommended to make your reservations months in advance. But if you prefer to avoid crowds and don't mind bundling up, October can also be a good option. Although temperatures drop to between 5 and 15°C, you will enjoy the advantage of encountering fewer tourists and accommodation prices are usually more affordable.

To organize your trip to Mongolia, it is essential to start at least six months in advance. This is crucial to get economical rates on flights and hotels, as flights to Mongolia usually have a limited number and prices can escalate quickly. Additionally, it is important for you to know that the accommodation options in Ulaanbaatar vary greatly in quality and price.

One detail you should consider is that hotel rates in Ulaanbaatar increase significantly during the Naadam festival in summer, an event that attracts many tourists. Therefore, booking in advance is crucial, especially during this time. To save money, you can look for hotels that are a bit further away from the city center during important events. Although you will need to travel more, the savings in the hotel rate can justify it.

If you are attracted to the idea of exploring a country full of impressive natural landscapes and a rich nomadic culture, Mongolia is your destination. Ulaanbaatar, the capital, is a must-visit where you can visit the Gandan Monastery and the National Museum of Mongolia to immerse yourself in the country's history.

But don't limit yourself to the city. Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, just an hour and a half drive from Ulaanbaatar, offers you the opportunity to horseback ride and trek among spectacular rock formations. If you're looking for something more remote, the Gobi Desert is an amazing place to observe giant sand dunes and two-humped camels.

For an even more unique experience, visit Lake Khövsgöl, known as the 'blue pearl of Mongolia'. There you can enjoy water sports and hiking in a setting of forest-covered mountains. And if you're looking for authenticity, live the experience of a nomadic camp to learn about their way of life and, if you dare, try their fermented milk.
