Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Altai?
The best time to visit Altai and Govi, Mongolia, is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its most pleasant.

During this period, temperatures are generally mild to warm, making outdoor activities and exploring the vast landscapes much more comfortable. The days are long, offering ample daylight for sightseeing and trekking. This is particularly important given the remote nature of many attractions in the Altai Mountains and the Govi Desert.

Couples looking for an adventurous and scenic trip will find these months ideal. The clear skies and comfortable temperatures are great for hiking in the Altai Tavan Bogd National Park, where you can explore glaciers and ancient rock carvings. Wildlife viewing, such as spotting ibex or argali sheep, is also more accessible during these months as animals are more active.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate the summer months. The warmer weather makes camping and yurt stays more enjoyable, and the dry conditions are favourable for activities like camel riding in the Govi Desert or exploring the Khongor Sand Dunes.
