I think you can get different variety of vegetables in ulanbataar than campared to the other places in Mongolia. I dont get many options in where I am working is Choibalsan, which in the east of Mongolia. Usually most of the vegetables are imported from neighbouring china. If you are spicy food eater then I would suggest you to bring a lot of spices bez as you won,t get many spices at here.
Mongolia is a huge and landlocked country. The vast landscapes, nomadic horseman and about half of all mongolians live in a ger, the one-room round felt traditionally used by nomads. In terms of language, hardly any Mongolians speak English, and if they do, then they are usually too shy to speak to you. When you arrive in Mongolia you will attend some Mongolian language classes as part of your ‘In Country Training’. Good luck. You’ll need it.
Mongolia has an extreme continental climate. Weather is very cold in the winter. And very hot in the Summer. But regardless of the season, for most of the year the sun shines in a beautiful, cloudless, blue sky. From April onwards summer begins, When you arrive in August will be pleasant until september, but it can still suddenly turn cold and summer daylight lasts until 10pm.
During the long winters, all accommodation and offices are centrally heated. Outside, you will have no problem with the cold as long as you wear the appropriate clothes. Several layers of clothing insulate you more effectively than one thick layer. So I would recommend ‘layering up’ as opposed to spending your money on very expensive thermal jackets, trousers and boots. Although apparently no one has ever died of cold legs, thermal leggings are very pleasant to wear and some warm base layers for your upper body are also recommended. However a long scarf; warm lined gloves; and an exceedingly good hat covering your freezing ears are completely essential.
Neeraj, I would like to know where about is your place of placement in mongolia, so that I can provide you with more information.
hi Neeraj,
ok I've just received your email. I was been travelling to countryside from few days and I suppose the first thing to say is that the internet service is not very reliable! But i just wanted to use this opportunity to acknowledge you so that you didn't think your email had disappeared into outer space!
i'll try to answer your questions as soon as possible
