When you get an organized tour, countryside accommodation ger camps serve protein-rich vegetarian and vegan meals. Although, the fresh and green vegetable option is scarce depending on the season and remoteness of the ger camp location.
Independent travelers usually have language and availability issues when ordering meals in the local areas. Due to Mongolian’s low vegetable consumption and the tendency that the local people not to consider vegetables as meals that can provide protein and nutrients in harsh climatic conditions, some local food areas serve meals without vegetables.
If you visit and stay with nomadic families, you better inform them beforehand. Thus, your nomadic hosts can get vegetable supply, which is not their daily consumption.
