MONGOLIA WINTER TOURS
Mongolia winter tours & trips: Winter in Mongolia is cold, but incredibly beautiful and mysterious. Temperatures are here typically ranging from -20°C to – 45°C degrees. The most challenging trip is not in colorful wild flowers or lush green forest but it would be on snow-covered steppe in -20degrees. We offer unique opportunities with Mongolia’s dramatic winter landscapes to ride horses and Bactrian camel, make dog sledding, explore lifestyle and customs of Reindeer herder and Eagle hunters and attend to impressive Ice Festival on the Khuvsgul lake, Camel festival in Gobi and Golden eagle festival in Ulaanbaatar.

- WINTER TOURS
Mongolian winter is freezing cold! People might say there are no fun outdoor activities until summer comes. However, if well prepared, Mongolian winter can bring the most incredible and unique experience.
In the winter months, December, January and February, when temperatures dip well below -30°C (-22°F) all the rivers and lakes freeze and Mongolia has much to offer for winter tours. In the heart of winter, Mongolians celebrate their traditional Lunar New Year Festival. Traveling through Mongolia during the winter months is not an easy task but is well worth it. If well prepared you are in paradise, though a very cold one. The most thrilling Mongolia winter tours are the Eagle Hunting with the Kazakhs in the Altai mountains and Riding reindeers with Tsaatan in the Taiga . Also, winter tours are a chance to participate in the celebration of Tsagaan Sar (Lunar New Year). Without a doubt, winter is the season that shapes the extraordinary Mongolian culture and characteristics. No matter how freezing cold it is outside, every Mongolian continues their daily life. Children go to school from Monday to Friday. Nomadic herders continue looking after their livestock. So, don't let the cold stand in your way! Traveling in Mongolian winter is a remarkable experience — it will show you how good Mongolians are at adaptation.
We welcome you to choose one of our Mongolia winter tours for once in a lifetime experience.

Mongolian winter tours
Winter in Mongolia is a unique and enchanting experience. While it can be extremely cold, with temperatures dropping well below freezing, it offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to witness the country’s stunning landscapes in a completely different light. Here are some key aspects to consider when planning a winter trip to Mongolia:
Winter in Mongolia typically lasts from November to March, with temperatures reaching as low as -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) in some areas. It’s essential to pack warm clothing, including thermal layers, insulated jackets, hats, gloves, scarves, and sturdy boots. Don’t forget to bring lip balm, moisturizer, and sunscreen to combat the dry and harsh climate.
Winter Festivals:
Explore the lively winter festivals that take place across the country during this season. The most famous is the Ice Festival in Khuvsgul Lake, where locals gather to showcase ice sculptures, participate in traditional winter games, and offer cultural performances. The Camel Festival in the Gobi Desert is another thrilling event that features camel races, traditional competitions, and local music and dance.
Winter Sports:
Mongolia’s vast snowy landscapes offer excellent opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts. Experience the thrill of skiing or snowboarding in the pristine mountains of Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, Bogd Khan Mountain, or the Altai Mountains. Some accommodations and travel agencies offer equipment rental and lessons for beginners.
Pristine Nature:
Winter unveils Mongolia’s natural beauty in a unique way. The landscapes are blanketed in sparkling white snow, creating a magical atmosphere. Head to Terelj National Park or Hustai National Park for breathtaking winter scenery and the chance to spot elusive wildlife like snow leopards, wild horses, and reindeer.
Nomadic Culture:
Winter is an excellent time to immerse yourself in Mongolia’s nomadic culture. Stay in traditional ger (yurt) camps and experience the warmth and hospitality of the nomadic communities. You can learn about their lifestyle, help with daily tasks such as herding animals, or enjoy storytelling and traditional Mongolian cuisine around a cozy fire.
Ice Fishing and sleigh rides:
Try your hand at ice fishing on frozen lakes and rivers. Experienced local guides can assist you in setting up the traditional ice fishing equipment and teach you the techniques. You can also enjoy sleigh rides pulled by horses or reindeer, a delightful way to explore the winter landscapes.
Stargazing and Northern Lights:
The clear winter skies in Mongolia offer a fantastic opportunity for stargazing and, if you’re lucky, witnessing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights. Head away from city lights to remote locations like the Gobi Desert or the pristine plains of the Mongolian countryside for optimal visibility.
Remember to plan your winter trip to Mongolia carefully, taking into account safety considerations and the availability of services and accommodations in more remote regions. With proper preparation, winter in Mongolia can be an extraordinary adventure filled with unique experiences and breathtaking scenery.

Reindeer Tribes of Mongolia Winter Trip
If you are unable to visit the festivals below, you can choose from our tours in below.
We offer you the following programs to participate the main winter festivals.
When should I visit?
To see the Gobi camel festival, Khuvsgul Lake ice festival & Ulaanbaatar eagle hunting festivals, plan your trip through March. Mongolians love to throw winter festivals, so consider planning your trip to coincide with big events. Undoubtedly, the most exciting time to visit Gobi is from 05 Mar – 08 Mar. That’s when Mongolians come out in droves to celebrate winter during the 2-day Gobi camel festival. It features camel races and numerous community activities, including ger assembly competition , the most stunning looking couple with camels, and team camel carawan competition etc.
What Can I Do?
Contrary to popular belief, we’re not confined by the cold or shorter days. Winter brings festivals, dog sledding tours, winter biking, gorgeous scenery, ice skating, bonfires, ice fishing, dining, and shopping. You can even take advantage of the longer nights to ski by moonlight, enjoy a bonfire on the beach, or watch for the mysterious sky. Visit our winter activities page for our full list of recommendations.
What About the Cold?
Temperatures in South & Central Mongolia are no more extreme than other parts of Mongolia, averaging 20 degrees.
Isn’t It Dark?
We get 6-12 hours of daylight in the winter, depending on where you are, but the sun setting doesn’t mean your day is done. Bottom line: your day can start as early, or go as late, as you’d like! Find out when the sun will rise and set during your Mongolia trip using the Mongolia.org Sunrise/Sunset Calculator.
Is Winter Expensive?
You can book lodging for more than 50% off of summer rates, and you can get great deals on many tours.
Where to stay?
You’ll spend most nights in a ger – warming yourself by the stove. We’ll make a nice warm fire in your ger before you head to bed, and we’ll provide plenty of wood so you can keep the fire going as you wish, although you will find that traditional Mongolian gers provide excellent insulation so hold heat extremely well. We will also make sure that in the morning you wake up to a nice warm ger!
Winter clothing?
If you have the cash and baggage space we would say stock up here, as the clothes are both awesome and cheap. Of course you’ll need enough to get by till then. As well as, for all of our winter trips, we provide traditional felt boots and can provide winter deel, a traditional long cloth, as well if you wish.

Mongolia Winter Tours
Yes, winter in Mongolia has a bit of a reputation. And you’re right – i t is cold, freezing in fact, but the cold is an integral part of what makes Mongolia and its landscapes extraordinary at this time of year. Winter is a quintessential Mongolian season and a remarkable experience – it will show you how good Mongolians are at adaptation and how they work in relation to their changing (and challenging) environment.
We offer experiences that provide what we consider a ce lebration of Mongolian culture and tradition. We look at what Mongolians do in the low season – either now or as part of their cultural history – or their traditions and festivals. Fewer travellers allow you a more intimate experience and exclusive access into the lives and culture of these places. Low season in Mongolia offers what we consider more ‘real-life ‘ experiences – those unexpected moments when you know something special is happening.
What To Expect
Our Mongolia winter tours are shared adventures in that you stay alongside the families we work in long-term local community partnership with which gives you a more personal insight into life in Mongolia. However, it means an adjustment on your behalf. This is not luxury travel. There are no planned or contrived experiences. This is real life.
However, we take care of the small details including providing traditional felt boots, our hand-made sheepskin winter deels as well as our hand-made goat skin blankets. All accommodation has been prepared for winter and our tour vehicles are also adapted for the winter months.
Yes, there will be challenges but only the challenges faced on a daily basis by local Mongolians themselves. The night skies more than makeup for the challenge of the temperatures. And of course, you’ll receive the warmest of hospitality as the local Mongolians you meet will be very proud to welcome foreign visitors that face the challenges of their wintertime.
Why We Promote Low Season Travel
We don’t ‘close’ for the winter months – we still offer local Mongolia winter tours and experiences to the adventurous few who find themselves coming to Mongolia. In fact, we promote low season travel. Why? It’s a more sustainable approach and is a major part of our responsible tourism philosophy but this isn’t a case of lip service or ticking boxes. Our philosophy helps create positive social change in Mongolia. W e are keen to make tourism less concentrated around peak season in Mongolia (summer) and to help the income of the people we work with – both our immediate Mongolian team and the network of Mongolians we work in long-term local community partnership with – be more evenly distributed. For those travelling at this time of year, we reward you with a 15% discount.

Winter Horse Adventure | 9 Days | November only
![mongolia winter tours Bujee and Naraa of Gorkhi Terelj National Park are a great illustration into how Mongolian horse herders are adapting - setting up micro businesses as a way of substituting their income.](https://www.eternal-landscapes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Naraa.jpg)
Horses were a key factor during the 13th-century conquest of the Mongol Empire and even in the 21st Century, Mongolia remains a horse-based culture and h orses continue to play a large role in daily rural life in Mongolia . Our Winter Horse Adventure allows you to experience this rich culture for yourself as you learn about the skills required for mounted archery with a local company reviving traditional archery techniques, experience a two-day horse trek led by a local horse herder we work in long-term local community partnership and then enjoy a local festival dedicated to horses and horsemanship.
Animal Welfare On Our Mongolia Winter Tours
Animal welfare - living with the tsaatan.
For the Tsaatan trek, we use pack horses and riding horses provided by the Darkhad guide. We work in long-term local community partnership with the Darkhad guide and know that the horses they use are suitable as pack or riding animals, are not overworked and in good condition. The horses are chosen based on factors such as terrain, altitude, temperature, hours of work, age and their condition. During the trek, we ensure (together with the Darkhad guides) that the horses receive adequate shelter, care, food and water. We match the weight of our guests to that of the animal and ensure that the weight is evenly balanced when riding. If a horse is injured or becomes ill, they are not be worked again until they are fit. In addition, the Tsaatan families and the Darkhad guide have a long-term friendship and we make sure that the reindeer are used to horses.
The Tsaatan do ride their reindeer but this is not for tourism entertainment and not something we promote. However, at times our guests are invited to ride on a reindeer at the invitation of the owner of the reindeer. It is not something we pre-arrange as we do not arrange any artificial experiences as they damage the culture, the way of life and the animals. Often the Tsaatan sell items made from the reindeer antlers but they are careful to harvest only from healthy animals. We support the purchasing of these items as they do not endanger the survival of the reindeer and also help to contribute directly to the local economy.
Animal Welfare - Riding With Eagle Hunters
Mongolia’s Kazakh eagle hunters only hunt in the winter months (early November through to February) as they hunt specifically for the winter coat of the prey of their eagles. We do not arrange contrived experiences where live prey is pre-captured, held and then released on purpose for our guests to be able to photograph the experience. We will never arrange any artificial experiences as they damage the culture, the way of life or wildlife itself.
For those concerned about the welfare of the eagles, the Kazakh eagle hunters have a respectful yet practical approach to their eagles – they have a close connection with their eagles – they are virtually family members although it is sometimes hard for outsiders to recognise this. The eagles are released back into the wild after about ten seasons so that they can breed. Once released, the birds are observed to make sure they successfully reintegrate back into the wild.
Animal Welfare - Khovsgol Horse Sleigh Expedition
The horse sleighs used for the expedition are part of the Darkhad culture and not something arranged just for tourism. However, we still take the welfare of the horses used for the expedition seriously.
- The horses are working horses and chosen specifically by the Darkhad guides – who are also the owners of the horses and the sleighs – and therefore understand the characteristics needed for the horse to pull the sleigh.
- We work in long-term local community partnership with the herders and know that the animals are not overworked and in good condition. However, the animals are chosen based on factors such as terrain, altitude, temperature, hours of work, age and their condition.
- During the expedition, we ensure (together with the Darkhad guides) that the horses receive adequate shelter, care, food and water. We match the weight of our guests to that of the animal and ensure that the weight is evenly balanced when riding. All tour equipment is carried in the EL support vehicle therefore lessening the load of each horse.
- If a horse is injured or becomes ill, they are not be worked again until they are fit.

DAY 7 Departure (5th March)
Detailed description.
Celebrate Mongolia’s mighty winter on an ancient frozen lake. The Ice Festival is one of the main attractive winter festivals which offers a unique chance to sense and explore the fascinating and mysterious corner of the world during winter and is held on Khovsgol Lake. Measuring about 130 km long and up to 40 km wide, the dark blue lake is at the base of the permanently snow-capped Khoridol Saridag mountains and offers a mesmerising view. Being the country’s largest freshwater reserve (70 % of the country’s total) believed to be over a million years old and affectionately called “Dalai Eej” or Mother sea by Mongolians. Braving brutal temperature and winter freeze that sometimes falls below -20 degrees’, early March locals gather on Khovsgol lake to celebrate the long, cold season. For two days exciting activities unfold such as horse sleigh race, ice sumo, archery competition, ankle bone shooting game, elaborate ice sculpture contest, ice skating, tug of war, dog sledding and many more.
Rare occasion to witness the tradition and lifestyle of Mongolian reindeer herders who descend from taiga to lake, while the local shamans perform ritual with fire-burning ceremony.
Travelers on this tour will be given the opportunity to purchase traditional clothes and boots. The temperature in March can be below freezing and travelers will need to bring heavy winter jackets, gloves and hats to keep warm. Dressing in layers is highly recommended.

Winter in Mongolia. Situated in high latitudes and high elevations, Mongolia is far from the moderating influences of the ocean. Consequently, it experiences a pronounced continental climate with very cold winters. Heavy snow occurs mainly in the mountain regions but fierce blizzards sweep across plains and steppes.
Camel festival was first initiated in 1997 by the locals of Umnugobi (South Gobi) province to protect the 2-humped Bactrian camel species, increase the population of them, honor camel herders, pass the rich Mongolian camel breeding heritage to the next generation and to promote winter tourism in Mongolia.
