Winter in Mongolia
Holidays in the Freezer!
The winters in Mongolia are cold and long. This is the time when life slows down and family visits are made. Travelling through Mongolia in winter is a very different experience. It might be more difficult than in summer, but a journey into the cold Mongolian countryside can be very rewarding.
