1. Trust your drivers.
Even when you do not have maps, GPS, or any other detector equipment, you still can trust Mongolian drivers. With their skills, they will drive you to the exact place you want to go. Let your worry be vanished and enjoy the magnificent scenery here. However, if you find out that the driver is speeding up, do not hesitate to remind him to slow down.

2. Time zones in Mongolia
Mongolia's time zone is UCT/GMT +8. You can compare to your country time zone to adjust your living mode. However, if you are in emergency, you can emphasize with the local people in order not to affect your expected plan.
3. Meet up and play with local children

Mongolian children are extremely friendly and cute with pink cheeks taking up most of their face. However, if you want to take picture with them, you'd better ask their parents for allowance first.
4. Taking bath
Dried shampoo is very popular in Mongolia. If you are not familiar with it, bring your favorite shampoo. In some luxurious tents, they may have solar shower. Nevertheless, you should get used to the fact of the lack of comb and mirror during your journey at this country, which is the reason for your messy hair.
5. Camping on the steppe

There are a lot of famous destinations in this country, but do not forget to experience a night in the tent. The sound of rain dripping on your tent in a silent night will give you the unforgettable emotions. This is also an opportunity for you to explore the lives of the nomads in small huts among the vast steppe.
6. Gifts / Souvenirs
After a long trip is time for shopping whatever you like. It sounds strange to buy wool scarf in a country with harsh climate as Mongolia; however, there is nothing in the world better and smoothier than Mongolia sheep wool.
