About Mongolia 2: Winter Time

Compilation of some Snow.
All four seasons occur in Mongolia. In winter it snows and get's awfully cold. Always on the minus -10 to -30 or so. In the countryside it can reach up to -40 degrees all of these are in Celsius



Fresh snow falling down. Everything get's blanketed white. I noticed in Japan in the warmer regions that after it snows they immediately melt away. Here it doesn't snow often but when it snows it doesn't melt easily it tends to stay and accumulate.


Drat's can't do any ninja activity like this. Цас(tsas)=snow


Got a chance to go away from the capital. Does this feel like Russia...?
Mongolia in Winter is nice especially if you like fresh natural snow. Although you need to get away from the capital to really feel it. The air also gets crisp, it gives that feeling when you take a deep breath through your nose after eating mint.



If you like winter and snow(natural) then you should try coming here in winter.
But there are a few downsides. At certain parts of the capital the air gets badly polluted especially at night.It's  due to the mass people living in the outer rim of the capital burning coal and wood. They have to stay warm you know, or they'll freeze.
If you stay at a tourist camp away from the city then it should be a pleasant and fresh experience.


Walking around the neighborhood of summer houses. In the summer most people especially the elderly move to summer houses away from the hustle of the city to relax, breathe fresh air, make barbecue and to get tanned brown


Bumped in to some locals and I just happened to be wearing a red coat.

Mongolian words:
Өвөл(uvul)=Winter
Цас(tsas)=Snow
Агаар(agaar)=Air
Үхэр(ukher)=Cow
Улирал(uliral)=Season

Evasive maneuvers....run
