Best Time to Visit

Experience Mongolia's breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage year-round.

Mongolia's natural beauty and rich heritage can be experienced all year round. Having said that, summer (June to August) is considered the peak season. The weather is pleasant, and the nights are cool, making it perfect for outdoor activities like trekking, hiking, etc. During this period, the nomadic families are on the move, making it easier for travellers to experience their lifestyle.

The festival season in mid-July is a spectacular event, drawing huge crowds from locals to foreign travellers. The Naadam Festival, which happens during this period, showcases traditional sports like archery, horse riding, and wrestling, giving you an unforgettable cultural experience. If you seek to explore their culture, plan your trip coinciding with the Naadam Festival.

If you are seeking adventure, plan your trip during the autumn (September to October). During this period, the landscape is lush green with colourful foliage, giving a view to behold. In addition, this period is perfect for adventure activities like trekking and hiking.

The winters in Mongolia are extremely harsh, with heavy snowfall in regions like the Gobi Desert and northern areas, making it a perfect time for winter sports. You can enjoy skiing, dog sledding, and other winter sports activities. This season also showcases a different perspective of Nomadic culture. If winter sports are your thing, and you want to experience a different side of the Nomadic culture, plan your trip for winter.

We went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

I had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie Williams

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel

We had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you! Ben Daube

Such thoughtful and sincere communication with my advisor Katie! Even though the trip didn’t come into fruition as expected, she still remained committed to adjusting around our itinerary every step of the way. I’m very thankful for the opportunity she gave us as well as just general ideas for the trip.Jenna
