WINTER JOURNEYS

Mongolia has 278 sunny days in one year. The relative lack of snow is the pre-condition for such a vibrant and large nomadic people, catering for their 30 million head of livestock in the great outdoors.

Nomadic Journeys organize special trips to Mongolia also in the winter. Ice-skating is a very popular winter sport in Stockholm, and we have jointly with Äventyrsresor, organized ice-skating expeditions on Lake Hövsgöl.

Winter trips usually require a small group, so these are usually made to order. What is recommended in winter is west Mongolia and the Kazakh Eagle hunters, Lake Hövsgöl and journey by their horse sleds, Tsaagan Sar (Mongolian New Year with horse races in February!), and for short outings Hustai National Park.
