Mongolian Climate is one of extremes - hot summers and freezing cold winters. Known as the 'Land of Blue Skies', it has over 260 sunny days each year. The winter is long and cold with temperatures often well below -30 Centigrade. Despite these temperatures, the blue winter sky makes it often feel warmer. There is very little snowfall but it and ice can remain for several weeks at a time. 

The rainy season is from July to September, but the showers are often brief. The summer is a very pleasant time because, although temperatures can reach +40 Centigrade, the air is very dry. The Gobi usually has the hottest temperatures. Summer evenings can be cool because of Mongolia's high altitude. The spring is a time of strong winds, especially difficult in the sandy areas of the Gobi.

There are two kinds of transportation.

1. By plane: From Chingiskhaan International airport to Bayan Ulgii it takes 4 hours. The fare is around 120$ for round trip.
2. By car(jeep): It takes about 2-3 days from Ulaanbaatar to west of Mongolia. This kind of tour is suitable for those who want to experience real Mongolian life style.
