What to bring? What you need and what you should have for a nature ger stay in Mongolia

Hi there, it's Minami.

Gel is morecold (colde) than I thought..

In addition to being cold, it is vast and dry, so you must be in good physical condition to enjoy Mongolian life to the fullest.

(As expected of Mongolia, which is home to the Gobi Desert, one of the largest deserts in the world!)

Therefore, in this article, we have summarized what you need and what you should have when staying in a ger to experience nature in Mongolia. We hope you will find it useful.

　So here you go.

Clothes that can be layered

Mongolia is basically dry and warm during the day but very cold at night.

Since the temperatures can vary widely, by all means try to wear clothes that can be layered.

This is a bit off topic, but Mongolia is also experiencing significant desertification of its grasslands.

Basically, it might be easier to dress like you are going camping.

Be careful, it is really cold in winter.

If you plan to procure it locally, that may be fine. However, outside of urban areas, there are basically no places to buy them, so I think it would be safer to prepare in advance.

wet wipes

Bring both alcoholic and non-alcoholic types.

Water is also a precious resource, so wet wipes would be useful (or in my case, were useful) to replace showers and to clean and reuse dishes.

Considering baths, showers, etc., and what you might put in your mouth, I think you will feel safer if you bring at least one of both the high sanitizing capacity and the non-alcoholic type that is less irritating!

dry shampoo

If you are not sure if you can take a shower, we recommend that you bring dry shampoo.

I took it with me to avoid the spray type, but to be honest, the feeling of freshness was a bit subtle, or rather, it became smooth in an instant, as I usually see in other people's videos! I did not feel the instantaneous smoothness that I usually see in other people's videos.

Perhaps another manufacturer would be good. The following one looks good. I would like to buy a dry shampoo from Product next time I decide to use a dry shampoo.

Probably the most common dry shampoo you see is the spray type.

Like the ones below. If I were to use it domestically, I would use the spray type at all!

This would normally work well for domestic camping or overnight stays in a car.

Mobile battery

A mobile battery would be essential for any trip lasting more than two nights.

Some gers had solar panels, but not all houses have them.

If you have batteries, you can charge them yourself whenever you like.

It might be a good idea to bring one with a solar panel like this for outdoor use. (But it looks quite heavy. (But it might be a good idea to think of it as killing two birds with one stone, since it also provides light.)

By the way, I took this one below. Thin type is easy to handle, isn't it? You can take a picture or look for something with your smartphone while plugging it in.

Battery-charged flashlight

Inside the Yurt, the fireplace in the basic center is the source of light, and there are no LED lights or other lights unless they make it easy.

I had a battery-charged flashlight at home, but I regretted not taking it with me. But it is heavy, so I don't think it is necessary to take it by force.

I instead used my iPad to light up my surroundings at night with a bed lamp divided between the two.

I have a Lanktoo LED lantern battery, but it seems to be out of stock now.

I thought the following one looks good for the latest version! (But if you buy a mobile battery with a solar panel, you may not need this one?)

toilet roll

It is a good idea to have a roll of paper with you in case of emergency, or rather, it is a good idea to have a roll of paper with you because most toilets in town do not have any paper!

You might think, "Why don't I just bring pocket tissues? You might think, "Why don't I just carry a toilet roll with me? Even if I accidentally put it in the toilet seat, it is highly water-soluble, so it won't clog the toilet.

Folding umbrella or kappa

There were quite a few times when it would suddenly rain.

I brought an umbrella, but a kappa would have been okay.

However, if you bring kappa, it will be bulky and heavy, so I think it would be better to buy a water-proof jacket from the beginning.

I used my folding umbrella quite a bit (if not for it, I would have stayed in Mongolia in pretty wet conditions. LOL)

Towels and tissues

A pair or two is enough. They will dry quickly.

Don't forget to bring it with you.
