Mongolia Birding Tour

To date, over 500 species of birds have been recorded in Mongolia. Mongolia Birding Tour offers not only some great birds but also spectacular landscapes and a variety of different habitats. The Standard Birding Tour from late May to early June focuses on key breeding birds and some passage migrants, while the tour from 10th to 25th June focuses on mainly breeding birds. Some key birds, such as Black-billed Capercaille, are harder to find on the second departure. The weather is more favorable and less variable during the second departure.

In 2026, we will offer pre and post-tour extensions as follows:

Far Eastern Mongolia, focusing on Jankowski's Bunting and other eastern specialties. It will be a 10-day pre-tour extension around May 15-24th when it is peak time for catching migrants.
Khurkh River Valley for Siberian Crane and other specialties there. It will be a 5-day post-tour extension around June 6-10th.

Feel free to contact us if you are interested in the extensions. The minimum group size is four people for the extensions.

Vehicle: Toyota Land Cruisers (4WD), there will be some long drives on paved and dirt roads between the birding sites. We consider that the comfort of our clients is very important so that 3 passengers will sit in each car.

Accommodation: In Ulaanbaatar, we will stay in a modern hotel. Away from there we will either stay in yurt camp (called as ger in Mongolian) or pitch our own tents.

Climate: The weather can be very variable in May and early June. Generally, it will be warm during the day, but it will be relatively cold at night and in the early mornings. Cold weather can be expected at the higher altitudes, and rain, even snow, is possible at almost any time. Starting from the beginning of June, the temperature rise causes the hot days.
