Bonjour,
Nous partons en Mongolie pour un mois. Nous sommes 2 femmes et nous serons en sac à dos. Nous voulons faire du trekking pour la majorité du voyage.
Nous n'avons pas d'attentes et nous ne sommes qu'au début des demarches.
Nous aimerions savoir quel peut être la température la nuit. Froid, bien sûr mais à quel point?? Est il logique de penser faire du camping?
Y'a t-il une grande difference de température entre le nord et le sud? Nous privilégierons l'hémisphère au sud si les nuits sont plus chaudes.
Merci à tous
Nous sommes prenantes pour tpus vos conseils.
Nous pensons dormir dans une tente mais à côté des yourtes afin de partager le quoitidien des Mongoles.
c'est encore la bonne saison et période pour tout faire... mais mi septembre selon region on peut avoir des nuits à temepratures negatives, nous avons eu -15 quelques nuits vers mi septembre une fois... donc un sac de couchage correct, quelques vetements chauds et c'est bon...
vous pouvez trouver plus d'infos pratiques sur www.terramongolia.com
noius avons fait 6 voyages la bas et on peut vous recommander une guest house, des contacts... qui pourraient eventuellment vous aider selon votre projet
reste à disposition pour plus..
ai aussi une fiche sur marcher en mongolie solo avec quelques infos pratiques... me donner en MP un mail de choix pour envoi car tzrop long a mettre ici
Salut!
mon mari et moi serons en Mongolie pour la première fois en septembre : je serais bien heureuse d'avoir quelques bonnes adresses pour des guest house, guide - chauffeur...! 🙂
Comme nous partons pour six mois et que la Mongolie est le seul pays que nous ferons et qui ne possède pas de température tropicales - du moins pas en septembre - nous n'aurons pas de sacs de couchage ni de vêtements TRÈS chauds.. mais j'imagine qu'on pourra acheter un ou deux trucs à Oulan Bator avant de quitter en excursion?
merci pour les infos ;-)
septembre est comme juin un mois un peu fou! on peut avoir des journées d'été comme des températures négatives durant la nuit allant jusqu'à -15 et même de la neige qui fondra vite au soleil.
donc il faut un peu de tout comme vêtement: un bon coupe vent, des pulls et chaussettes chaudes et tee shirts. se vêtir en pelure d'oignon car au fur et à mesure que le soleil chauffe il fait vite chaud.
à UB certes vous pourrez trouver apr ex des sacs de couchage doublés de cachemire sur les 150$ au retour cela peut faire une belle couverture chez vous... mais aussi des pulls en cachemire ou laine de chameau, moins cher certes... mais pourquoi pas au final investir dans un bon dell 50$ au marché et celas et de couverture et à se couvrir si froid... à la fin vous pouvez aussi l'offri à la dernière famille de nomades chez qui vous irez?¨
ou bien encore emportez de chez vous en plus de votre sac de couchage d'été, mais si vous avez le choix prennent en un un peu plus chaud, bref portez avec vous 1 ou 2 couvertures en polaire cela augmente pas la chaleur, pas lourd, pas encombrant, pas cher et facile à transporter et là aussi à donner à la fin du voyage?
bon le vrai froid ne s'installe que des la mi octobre donc ne pas trop s'affoler! en plus vous ne dormirez pas à la belle étoile ni sous votre tente sauf imprévu, mais je pense que vous allez choisir de dormir aux étapes chez les nomades, enfin si votre chauffeur guide que vous aurez choisi privilégie ce mode d'hébergement. donc les nomades pourront aussi vous donner une couverture en plus si trop froid... il faut juste se dire que si on tombe sur une famille un peu plus pauvre elle peut ne pas avoir des couvertures en plus donc juste avoir de quoi pallier à cet inconvénient. mais toutes les familles vous recevront le coeur sur la main. expérience inoubliable...
en allant sur mes pages www.terramongolia.com vous trouverez des infos pratiques pour la préparation du voyage. septembre est un beau et bon mois aussi... vous ferez un beau voyage quelque soit le temps que vous pouvez consacrez à ce magnifique pays qui vous prend aux tripes.
alors nous 6 voyages la bas et toujours avec notre 1er chauffeur rencontré en 2000! un ami maintenant! contacter mejet69@yahoo.com et exprimer vos envies. tout est sur mesure, tout est en totale liberté: nombre de jours, itinéraire...km illimité, choix à l'étape de l'hébergement certes selon ce que la steppe a vous proposé! rarement des ho^tels, toujours la possibilité d'aller dormir chez une famille de nomades , parfois guest ver, aprfois tourist camps et même la toile de tente... vous pouvez changer d'itinéraire durant le voyage certes en restant logique!! Mejet vient vous prendre à votre arrivée, peut vous loger dans sa toute petite guest house pas loin du centre 6 euro la nuit par personne, vous aide en tout et n'impose rien! bref la perle....à votre arrivée vous reverrez le programme, vous exprimez encore ce que vous voulez faire ou ne pas faire afin que le chauffeur puisse au mieux vous servir.
si Mejet est occupé pour vos dates il pourra vous proposez un collaborateur, je les connais tous! tous trié sur el volet selon vos criques constructives, tous sensibles et connaissant le pays comme leurs poches et surtout ils savent avant vous ce qui va vous plaire! si d'aucun ne parlent pas anglais ne pas se formaliser... la comunication reste facile avec un lexique, les gestes, dessins et rires on a vite faite de dépassé la barrière de la langue idem avec les nomades. et leur gentillesse et sensibilité font que le chauffeur devient vite un agréable compagnon de voyage.
a plus
bon voyage

entre le nord de la mongolie et le sud pas vraiment de difference....
par contre aps facile du tout et deconseillé de faire du trek seul dans le desert de gobi: peu de nomades, pas d'eau ou difficile a toruver, on se perd vite... là mieux rester dans nord, est, ouest... là ou il y a plus de nomades afin de pouvoir vous faire aider, demander votre route, y dormir, échanger, acheter thé et fromage si vos provisions sont à sec et le prochain village bien loin encore....
et oui on peut encore camper en cette période, même si on ne peut que conseiller d'aller le plus souvent possible chez les nomades, car partager leur vie est une expèrience extrême
vous pourriez par la guest house que vous aurez à UB vous fiare ècrire quelques phrases en Mongol pour demander si vous pouvez rester une nuit chez eux... cela sera plus facile...
ai aussi une fiche pratique succinte sur trek solo en mongolie qui peut être vous aider à miuex vous préparer? me donne run mail en MP de votre part pour envoi...
Hi everyone.
I’m planning a trip to Colombia in 2027.
The idea is to arrive in May.
From what I’ve gathered, that’s the start of the rainy season.
Can anyone confirm that it’s already raining a lot during that period?
I know the climate can obviously vary from one region of the country to another.
I’d really like to go straight to Leticia in the Amazon.
Any info on the weather at that time?
I’m also looking for a plan for an Amazon tour.
Specifically, a good, conscientious agency that does things right in terms of environmental respect.
I already did a tour in Peru 10 years ago in the Pacaya Samiria reserve, and it was amazing.
The simple reason was that the tour was on a motor-free canoe—we made no noise, so the immersion was total.
Is it possible to find a tour in Leticia that offers a motor-free boat excursion?
Thanks in advance for your answers, and fair winds to everyone!!
Hi! I’m on vacation from 10/31 to 11/7 and want to go somewhere sunny. I’m leaving from Toulouse and the flight can’t be more than 5 hours.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help
We want to do a few safaris, visit villages, the mountains, see tea plantations, etc. But we also want to see turtles. We love snorkeling but aren’t experts—we’re just happy to see colorful fish and coral. We’ve always wanted to see turtles too, so the idea is still to see *something* underwater 😊
Can you tell us which regions to prioritize and which to avoid given the climate at this time of year? Thanks a million!
Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!
