Mongolia in Autumn & Winter – When the Tourists Have Gone Home
A slightly crazy idea for October–December 2026…
What if, this year, you travelled somewhere most tourists don't?
What if you came to Mongolia in autumn or winter?
I have been living in Mongolia for many years and I organize and lead tours here. Most people discover Mongolia during the summer, but from October to December, Mongolia shows a completely different face.
The steppe begins to turn white. Nomadic families have already moved to their winter camps. The air is incredibly clear, the landscapes are vast and silent, and sometimes it feels like being on another planet.
And perhaps the most interesting part:
the tourists are almost gone.
So, between October and December 2026, I am organizing 8-day small-group Mongolia adventures.
What will we experience?
👉Ulaanbaatar – the capital city, Gandan Monastery, museums and the unique atmosphere of Mongolia's capital.
👉 Terelj National Park – snow-covered mountains, spectacular rock formations, forests and beautiful Mongolian landscapes.
👉 The giant Genghis Khan Statue – one of Mongolia's most famous landmarks.
👉 Horse riding on the Mongolian steppe – an authentic Mongolian experience, at a relaxed pace, surrounded by endless landscapes.
👉 Visiting nomadic families – seeing how people live through the Mongolian winter, visiting a traditional ger, sharing food and tea, and experiencing Mongolian hospitality.
👉 Dog sledding – a very special winter experience in the Mongolian countryside.
👉 Karakorum, the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire – exploring this historic area and visiting the famous Erdene Zuu Monastery.
👉 Mongolia's winter landscapes – snowy steppe, frozen rivers and lakes, endless horizons and a silence that is difficult to describe.
👉 Mongolian culture and traditions – local food, Mongolian tea, stories and genuine encounters with people who still live a traditional nomadic lifestyle.
And one thing is very important:
This is NOT a race.
You don't have to be young.
You don't have to be an athlete.
You don't have to walk 20 or 30 kilometres every day.
You can be 30, 40, 50, 60 or older.
If you have curiosity and a sense of adventure, Mongolia can be for you too.
We don't rush from one attraction to another.
We stop.
We look around.
We take photographs.
We talk.
And we experience a side of Mongolia that most visitors never get to see.
And yes… it will be cold.
But that's exactly what makes it special.

If this sounds like something you'd love to experience, send me a message or email me. I'd be happy to tell you more.
Mongolia in autumn and winter.
Not for everyone.
But perhaps it's exactly for you.
See you in Mongolia – where most tourists have already gone home.
