ENTRY FORMALITIES
There are no entry problems for Mongolia. The validity of your passport must extend 6 months beyond the date of your return journey and you will need a Visa to enter. Vaccinations are not necessary.
CLOTHING
In October near the end of the season there can be frost. Warm underwear, gloves and a cap are needed. Good advice for all dates. The nights can be very cold. Bring warm clothing – underwear, sweater, and anorak – and you will be well prepared for the colder days.
IMPORTANT REMINDER
All Taimen have to be returned.
