Accommodations in Mongolia can vary widely from hotels in Ulaanbaatar to Ger camps in the countryside. The traditional Ger is the national dwelling of Mongolia and can accommodate 2-4 people. They have a separate washing block that houses shower and toilet facilities with western style toilets. Gers also have eating, shopping, and laundry areas. There are also places to plug in devices that need to be charged; like a camera or laptop.
 
Electrical sockets in Mongolia accommodate the standard European style 2-pin plugs that deliver electricity at 220V, 50Hz.
 
Because the weather in Mongolia is very changeable, it is advisable to pack articles of warm clothing that can easily be layered. This way, when traveling, you can add or remove layers if the temperature changes.

Be prepared for cold weather if you are traveling to any of the higher altitudes, or traveling outside of the summer season. If you are traveling in the summer season make sure you bring wet weather gear such as a poncho.
