- Since Mongolia is an extensively large country, you might have to prepare yourself for long traveling hours. Keep some snacks and books to accompany you.
- Nomads in the rural outskirts usually eat mutton and it's hard to find vegetarian food there, make sure you buy enough veggies from urban cities and bring them with you on your nomadic expeditions.
- Crime rates in Mongolia are extremely low, but it's always better to not put your valuables on show when you are traveling.
- Always remember that your trip to Mongolia will be filled with adventures so don't hesitate to take a leap of faith whenever you have to.
- Don't forget to charge your camera batteries before going out there in the plateaus, because the land is so vast you might not get a chance to go back and charge if you catch a sight worth capturing.
- The capital city of Ulaanbaatar has plenty of ATM machines that you can use. Take some cash with you while visiting the countryside because the option of using an ATM in the countryside might not be a reliable one.
- Although you will be accompanied by an English speaking guide, it is good to know the basics of local Cyrillic script, which will only take a few hours and will be a great help for you.

Khovd is very far from the capital Ulaanbaatar so it is advisable to take a 2.5 hours flight if you are planning to visit Khovd directly from the capital. - Amarbayasgalant Monastery
The 5-hour long bumpy ride to Amarbayasglant Monastery from Ulaanbaatar is well worth it and would be one of the trips that you will remember forever. This monastery is full of serene views that are breathtaking. Young monks playing games in the fields of the monastery will make you forget about the long ride that you took to get there. Living in the "ger" camps of the monastery is an experience you will not want to miss.
Best Time To Visit
The monastery is spread over long fields and visiting in the winters could be difficult due to the cold winds of Mongolian winters, so the best time to tour this monastery is no doubt a sunny day in the summers.You Should Know
The "ger" camp is around 10 kilometers from the actual site of the monastery but if you are visiting off-season then you might be lucky enough to find a camp in a nearby village. Riding the horse in the fields of the monastery while connecting with the nomads will make your trip to the monastery unforgettable.
Mongolia Tour Packages
Mongolia is a dry but cold country, which is why summers in Mongolia are not humid but the winters are extremely cold. June through August is the peak season for tourism in Mongolia not only because of the pleasurable weather but also because of the Naamad festival, which is the most awaited festival in Mongolia and a lot of tourists visit Mongolia during this period only to participate in the festival. This festival is fun-filled with games and activities that will make your stay in Mongolia a memorable one. Considering all of these factors the general perception is that the best time to visit Mongolia is during summers.
