What to pack for a trip to Mongolia
Layers, a warm jacket even in summer, sturdy shoes and a power bank — a practical packing list for ger camps and long drives.
Weather in Mongolia changes fast: a hot afternoon in the Gobi can be followed by a cold night, and the mountains are cool even in July. Pack light, but pack in layers.
Clothing
- Warm fleece or down jacket — even for summer nights
- Waterproof rain jacket
- T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts
- Comfortable trousers (and riding trousers if you plan to ride)
- Hat, gloves and a buff or scarf against wind and dust
- Sturdy walking shoes and light sandals for camp
Health and comfort
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and lip balm — the sun is strong
- Personal medicine and a small first-aid kit
- Hand sanitiser and wet wipes for long drives
- Reusable water bottle
Electronics
- Power bank — not every ger camp has power all day
- Headlamp or small torch
- Plug adapter (Mongolia uses 230 V, type C and E sockets)
Documents and money
- Passport (valid 6+ months) and visa if needed
- Travel insurance details
- Some cash in Mongolian tögrög for the countryside
Each tour page also has its own packing list where it matters — for example for horse treks or camping trips.
