Useful guide for tourists preparing to travel to Mongolia

Here's some information you need to know about traveling to Mongolia, from visas and the best times to traditional foods and must-see attractions.

Mongolia tourist visa

Vietnamese tourists who want to travel to Mongolia need to apply for a tourist visa, except for those whose nationalities are exempt from visas. Mongolian visas are usually issued for stays of 30 days or less and must be applied for in advance of arrival. Visa application documents include passport, visa application form, photo, and financial documents. To avoid problems, visitors should apply for a visa 1-2 months before departure.

Mongolian Cuisine

Mongolian cuisine is famous for its meat dishes, especially lamb and beef. Some of the specialties that visitors should try include "buuz" (steamed dumplings stuffed with meat), "khuushuur" (fried doughnuts filled with meat) and "tsuivan" (fried noodles). These dishes have a strong flavor, often prepared with a lot of animal fat to suit the cold climate. Fermented milk dishes such as "airag" (fermented horse milk) are also an interesting experience for those who want to explore the unique features of Mongolian cuisine.

Things to prepare before traveling to Mongolia

Mongolia has a harsh climate, with very cold winters and dry summers, so visitors should prepare clothes suitable for the weather. Warm clothes such as jackets, woolen hats, and gloves are necessary if you visit in winter. In addition, some items such as sunscreen, insect repellent, and sleeping bags are also useful when exploring nature. Don't forget to prepare some basic medical supplies to ensure your health throughout the journey.

What is the best season to travel to Mongolia?

The best time to visit Mongolia is from June to August when the weather is warm and the trees are green. In summer, visitors can participate in the Naadam festival - one of the biggest cultural events of the Mongolians, with traditional activities such as wrestling, archery and horse riding. If you love the white scenery, winter (from November to March) is also an interesting choice, but be prepared for very cold and dry weather.

Where to go when traveling to Mongolia?

Mongolia has many attractive destinations for tourists who love to explore nature. The Gobi Desert is famous for its wild landscape, long sand dunes and typical animals such as the two-humped camel. Khuvsgul Lake is known as the "Switzerland of Mongolia" with its clear blue water and mountainous landscape. In addition, the city of Ulaanbaatar with its ancient temples and museums is also an ideal place to explore Mongolian culture.

Traveling to Mongolia is a challenging but also very interesting journey. Careful preparation before going will help visitors have a better experience and easily adapt to the unique nomadic culture and wildlife of Mongolia. Enjoying typical cuisine, visiting natural sites, and learning about the cultural beauty here will bring many memorable memories to each visitor.
