Mongolia

What's special?

Authentic nomadic experience

World's largest equestrian statue

Exploring stunning landscapes

Mongolia is one of the least talked-about gems on the Earth but it is a country filled with stunning natural landscapes and amazing culture! Come with me to experience authentic nomadic Mongol lifestyle in a trip like no other! Starting in Ulaanbaatar, we will journey to historic wonders such as Karakorum, Elsen Tasarkhai and Terelj (among others). I can wait to share this amazing adventure with you!

My name is Josh and I am from Hampshire in the UK. I love travelling and have visited Mongolia before in 2024. I am super keen to go back there to experience more of this amazing country and to take part in the iconic Naadam festival. I'm looking for people to join me!

We will stay in a variety of accommodations. In the city of Ulaanbaatar, it will be an apartment. But in other areas of Mongolia, it will mainly be traditional nomadic homesteads or guesthouses. I would advise on bringing some warm sleeping gear as it can get very cold in Mongolia during the night time. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!

Really friendly, organised and well-informed trip leader who accommodated our needs and always ensured we were having a good time. He found a lovely place to stay and put together a fantastic itinerary whilst allowing us our own freedoms to explore. Would really recommend Josh if you're looking for a lovely trip with some beautiful places and some great company!

Ulaanbaatar

Day 1-2

This is the day of arrival! We will all meet in Ulaanbaatar and get together for a nice meal and spend the evening getting to know each other. We can also spend time looking around the city and finding our feet in this amazing country! We will also need to check into our accommodation for one night before leaving on an adventure the next morning!

Kharkhorin

Day 2-4

We will wake up early and journey to Kharkhorin. This is the site of the old capital of the Mongol Empire, Karakorum. During our stay, we will visit the museum and Erdene Zuu Monastery. The iconic Naadam festival will also be starting and so we will join and indulge ourselves in this iconic Mongolian cultural experience.

Elsen Tasarkhai

Day 4-5

We will drive to Elsen Tasarkhai - also known as Semi Gobi - to experience a miniature version of the Gobi desert! There will be an option to have a camel ride. After lunch, we will head to Hustai National Park to experience the nomadic lifestyle!

Hustai National Park

Day 5-6

After spending the night in the Hustai National Park, we will do some more exploring of the area and more learning about the nomadic lifestyle! We can observe some horses or meet some of the locals, amongst a few other things. At the end of the day, we will head back to Ulaanbaatar and back to our city accommodation for another night.

Terelj

Day 6-7

After being back in Ulaanbaatar, we will spend this day heading to Terelj National Park. But, on the way, we will have to stop to see the largest equestrian statue in the world! Once in Terelj National Park, we will indulge in all the natural beauty and splendour it has to offer!

Ulaanbaatar

Day 7-9

We will spend the last couple of days exploring the city of Ulaanbaatar. There is no specific itinerary for these days so we can treat them as free days for doing whatever we feel like at the time. I would like to visit Monument Square at one point. We can visit the iconic Sukhbaatar Square and enter the famous Chinggis Khaan museum. We should also check out Naran Tuul - Ulaanbaatar's famous black market. On the day of departure, we will all say our goodbyes and hopefully I will see you on another adventure!
