Best Time to Visit

Experience Mongolia's breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage year-round.

Mongolia's natural beauty and rich heritage can be experienced all year round. Having said that, summer (June to August) is considered the peak season. The weather is pleasant, and the nights are cool, making it perfect for outdoor activities like trekking, hiking, etc. During this period, the nomadic families are on the move, making it easier for travellers to experience their lifestyle.

The festival season in mid-July is a spectacular event, drawing huge crowds from locals to foreign travellers. The Naadam Festival, which happens during this period, showcases traditional sports like archery, horse riding, and wrestling, giving you an unforgettable cultural experience. If you seek to explore their culture, plan your trip coinciding with the Naadam Festival.

If you are seeking adventure, plan your trip during the autumn (September to October). During this period, the landscape is lush green with colourful foliage, giving a view to behold. In addition, this period is perfect for adventure activities like trekking and hiking.

The winters in Mongolia are extremely harsh, with heavy snowfall in regions like the Gobi Desert and northern areas, making it a perfect time for winter sports. You can enjoy skiing, dog sledding, and other winter sports activities. This season also showcases a different perspective of Nomadic culture. If winter sports are your thing, and you want to experience a different side of the Nomadic culture, plan your trip for winter.

We entrusted Goway with every detail of our trip from start to finish and they came through for us superbly! Every single detail was smooth sailing. It was a joy to plan our travels with Goway!! We had an amazing trip of a lifetime! E&D

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay

Kimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David Klein

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW
