Climate	Mongolia has an extreme continental climate with long, dry and very cold winters, and short mild summers which is when it gets most of its rain. In general, the country is extremely sunny the majority of the year.
Transport	Minivans and jeeps, which can be shared or hired privately, are the most used modes of transport for travel in the countryside. Within towns, taxis and minibuses are popular. Yaks and camels are also recognised forms of transport in Mongolia.
Best time to travel	Summertime from June to August is peak season. It is mostly dry and warm with some thunderstorms. For a quieter trip, consider the shoulder months of May or September to October.
What to wear	With scorching summer days but frigid nights, the key is to layer clothing. Wintertime will require thick, warm clothes.
