Visiting Mongolia in Autumn (September to October)
Autumn (September - October) is a good time to travel to Mongolia when there are fewer tourists and the country is swathed in golden autumnal hues. The weather is still warm in early September with occasional precipitation. In Ulaanbaatar, schools, and universities start and the city becomes busier than in summer. Tourist spots in the countryside, quieten down and more beautiful. It’s a chance to attend the Eagle Hunting Festivals which take place in September and the first week of October in Western Mongolia. Autumn is also a good time to head to southern Mongolia for the Gobi Desert. The temperatures are warmer than in other parts of Mongolia.
