2025 Mongolia Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

#chinatrip My Mongolian escapade was truly epic! I felt inspired meeting the Great Genghis Khan's legacy, and even got to tame an eagle - a thrilling experience! But the pièce de résistance was my sunrise run at the breathtaking Juulchin Tereji Resort in Tereji National Park. As the morning sun rose over the rolling hills, I felt invigorated and connected to nature. The vast, untouched landscapes and warm hospitality left me in awe. Mongolia, you have stolen my heart! From the majestic eagles to the endless steppes, every moment was a testament to the country's untamed beauty and rich history. I'll be back to conquer more of your wonders!

The blue sky 🌅☀️and green plains are so vivid that friends thought that some of my pictures were the PC wallpaper we all grew up with. #timetotravel If you want to enjoy world-class nature experiences and vistas, fly up to Ulaanbator and get yourself to the countryside, where people still live part time in beautiful traditional yurts or gers, now with modern comforts.

The best time to visit Mongolia is during the Mongolian summer, from the mid of June till last week of August. This is the safest time of the year to travel to Mongolia in terms of weather, sunny days throughout Mongolia and sufficient rainfall to make the steppes lush and green. June and September are both very pleasant times to visit Mongolia. September, autumn is enjoyable, colorful, not hot, and not cold. Nomads have plenty of dairy products and are busy processing milk and preparing for winter. Beautiful countryside of Mongolia is even more beautiful and picturesque with the autumn colors. #wintergetaway

Gers have been a distinctive feature of life in Central Asia for at least three thousand years. A Ger is our traditional round shaped dwelling that has been used since the Mongols started nomadic life with animal husbandry. In essence – it’s their home. Ger is portable, easily assembled and disassembled, and the most natural dwelling on earth. A ger consists of felt covers, wooden columns, and a round window at the top, thin wooden poles and floor, wall (wooden lattice attached together with animal hide, ropes) and ropes. Most of ger materials are made of animals like felt- sheep wool, ropes- camel or sheep wool, horse or yak’s tail, and of course wood. You can visit the ger camp in Mongolia it calls billion stars hotel 😊 #triplocal #awesomepic #triplocal

Mongolian grand canyon 😊 The rocky formations of Tsagaan Suvarga, "White stupa", are located in the Southeast of the sum Ölziit, on the Southern border of the province of Dundgovi. These rocky formations eroded by the wind look like a ruined city if you observe them from a certain distance (85 kilometres, 52,82 miles). They are about 60 metres (196,85 feet) high and 400 metres (1312,34 feet) long. #triplocal #awesomepic #triplocal

Khongoryn Els are some of the largest and most spectacular sand dunes in Mongolia. Also known as the Duut Mankhan (Singing Dunes – from the sound they make when the sand is moved by the wind), they are up to 300m high, 12km wide and about 100km long. The largest dunes are at the northwestern corner of the range. From afar the dunes look painted on the south horizon in front of those gorgeous granite mountains.

A yurt in mongolia. I stayed here for two nights living with the locals. This was my most memorabel trip from 2019. So different to any other travel I done.

The worlds largest sculpture of Genghis Khan is 40 meters high! Location: Located in the central province of Erdene Sumu 30km east of Ulaanbaatar Generation Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows the bow and shoots the big eagle. Going all the way, the number of romantic figures, still look at the present. The leader of our country once spoke highly of Genghis Khan, and the statue of Genghis Khan was a statue built to commemorate Genghis Khan. Mongolia is very respectful of Genghis Khan, and even no one nodded before Xis statue to Genghis Khan. Watch: The Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue is the largest single metal sculpture in the world. The statue is 131 feet (40 meters) and is cast from 250 tons of pure steel. The entire Genghis Khan statue is supported by 36 columns, marking the 36 tribes of the Mongols. The statue was cast from 250 tons of steel, and the gates of the group were lined with statues of nine generals under Genghis Khans account. At the observation deck where Genghis Khans horses neck is located, he can indulge in the beauty around the statues. Inside the 40-meter-high statue of Genghis Khan, it houses a restaurant, a smaller art gallery, a conference room, a larger lounge and an observation deck. Inside the museum, visitors can admire the art treasures and objects carefully selected by Mongolian artists. In the restaurant, visitors can enjoy European cuisine and Mongolian care. Want to learn more about Genghis Khan, this is the best place to go.

#magicalxmastrip #mongolia Mongolia, a land of boundless horizons and timeless traditions, offers a travel experience unlike any other. Nestled between Russia and China, it’s a destination that promises untouched nature, rich culture, and adventures that stir the soul. For nature lovers, Mongolia is paradise. The country’s diverse landscapes range from the vast steppes of the central plains to the towering Altai Mountains in the west and the dramatic dunes of the Gobi Desert in the south. Imagine trekking through lush green valleys, camping under a sky filled with countless stars, or exploring the tranquil beauty of Khövsgöl Lake, often called the “Blue Pearl of Asia.” Mongolia’s pristine environment is one of the last places on Earth where you can truly feel at one with nature. Mongolia is also home to one of the world’s last nomadic cultures. Spending time with a nomadic family is a unique and humbling experience. You can stay in a traditional ger (yurt), learn about their ancient way of life, and even partake in daily activities such as herding livestock or making dairy products. Events like the Naadam Festival showcase traditional sports like horse racing, wrestling, and archery, offering a glimpse into Mongolia’s proud heritage. Adventurers will find no shortage of excitement in Mongolia. Ride horseback across the steppe like a modern-day explorer

#magicalxmastrip #mongolia Mongolia, often called the “Land of Eternal Blue Sky,” is a place where nature reigns supreme. With its boundless landscapes and untouched wilderness, it offers an escape into a world of unparalleled beauty and tranquility. Imagine standing on the vast steppes, where golden grasslands stretch endlessly under an azure sky. This is the heart of Mongolia—an open expanse where time seems to stand still. The Altai Mountains rise majestically in the west, their snow-capped peaks a haven for rare wildlife like the elusive snow leopard. In contrast, the Gobi Desert in the south enchants with its otherworldly landscapes, from towering sand dunes to dramatic cliffs that glow red at sunset. The Khövsgöl Lake, known as the “Blue Pearl of Mongolia,” is a pristine wonder surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the sky, creating a serene mirror of nature’s perfection. Whether kayaking on its tranquil surface or hiking through the surrounding taiga, the lake feels like a gateway to a forgotten paradise. Mongolia’s nature is not just beautiful—it’s alive. Wild horses roam freely across the steppe, eagles soar high above the cliffs, and yaks graze peacefully in the valleys. Seasonal transformations bring blooming wildflowers in summer and frost-kissed landscapes in winter, each revealing a new layer of its magic. What truly sets Mongolia apart is the silence. Here, away from the bustle of modern life, you can hear the whispers of the wind, the rustle of grass, and your own heartbeat. It’s a place where you can reconnect with the earth, breathe deeply, and rediscover the awe and wonder of the natural world. Mongolia’s nature doesn’t just capture your heart—it becomes a part of your soul.
