 Where to Go in April in Mongolia?

Central Mongolia

Central Mongolia remains the easiest region to explore in April due to its proximity to Ulaanbaatar.
You can visit:

• Elsen Tasarkhai Semi-Gobi Desert

• Karakorum & Erdene Zuu Monastery

• Hustai National Park

Note: Tourist ger camps are still closed. Accommodation options include local hotels, guesthouses, and nomadic family homestays.

Southern Mongolia (Gobi Desert)

April is not the ideal time to travel to the Gobi Desert.

• Sandstorms are common.

• Weather conditions can be unstable.

If the Gobi is your priority, late April is better than early April—but still not highly recommended.

Northern & Western Mongolia

Travel to Northern, Eastern and Western Mongolia is not recommended in April.

• Temperatures remain colder for longer.

• Tourist services are limited or unavailable.

These regions are better visited from June onward.
