This was an absolutely fantastic trip! Our guide Samba was incredible: very knowledgeable about Mongolian history and culture, a capable mountain and hiking guide, in-control logistics organiser, and an all-round great person to spend two weeks with. We were blessed with perfect hiking weather, with only one quite cold night (in which I was grateful for my -15 sleeping bag), and otherwise blue skies and sunny warm temperatures. The hike itself I couldn’t recommend more highly. While the summit day was tough (approx 9 hours of difficult hiking, at altitude), the views over both Russia and Mongolia were spectacular. The other hiking days were more than manageable, with gentle sloping rambles across grassy plains and wildflowers, leaving us to enjoy relaxing evenings at camp. All our food on the hike was excellent, with a mix of local and western dishes. Us three vegetarians were very well catered for. We also had the opportunity to meet many nomadic people, visiting a few gurs along the way. Nothing felt ‘touristy’ or manufactured for our group. At the same time, Samba managed all the logistics and communication so capably that we were able to really relax and enjoy ourselves. I have no constructive or negative comments about the experience - we all had a fantastic time.

What an excellent trip: well-immersed in Mongolian / Kazakhi nomadic culture; hiking in the spectacular Altai Mtns; insightful discussion of Mongolian history. The support team from Great Genghis Tours were exceptional - professional, courteous, hilarious, talented - just brilliant.
Fabulous trip to Mongolia!

This was a great trip to Mongolia, somewhere I have wanted to visit for a long time and it didn't disappoint. The trip encompassed both the steppes and the Gobi, photos of which don't seem to do the country justice! The Ger camps were great fun, and visiting the nomad families gave a fascinating insight and understanding into a completely different way of life.

Mongolia - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

A tour of Mongolia is perfect for anyone who fancies themselves a nomad. With a population density of only 1.7 people per square-kilometer, Mongolia is uniquely empty, ideal for a little bit of self-discovery. The phenomenal country also has a geographical diversity unlike anywhere else on Earth, combining sandy desert dunes with high mountains and deep lakes - all of which can be enjoyed while soaking up 250 days of pure sunshine each year.

Tour Highlights

  • Ride a horse in Gorkhi Terelj National Park
  • Ride a camel in the Gobi, the fifth-largest desert in the world
  • Sleep in a ger tent (or yurt), the traditional home of Mongolian nomads
  • Find serenity at the Erdene Zuu Monastery in Kharkhorin
  • Stroll through the meadows of Gorkhi-Terelj National Park

Travel Tips

  • One of Mongolia’s top draws for tourists is the annual Naadam festival. This shouldn't-be-missed event is celebrated in mid-July and is a fantastic way to experience the country’s traditional clothing and dramatic sports competitions.
  • Get ready for that windswept look. Mongolia is an incredibly windy country, so be sure to bring a windbreaker, something to protect your face (like a scarf), and balm for dry lips.
  • If planning an overnight trip to the Gobi Desert during the summer, be sure to pack a variety of clothing and supplies for all temperatures. Expect very hot temperatures during the day, but cold winds at night.
  • When camping, don't take your electricity for granted. Most ger camps rely on generators, and many only supply electricity during certain hours. Ask for hours upon arrival, and be sure to bring some battery-powered flashlights.
  • Mongolians love visitors. If passing a nomadic family's ger on your travels, don't be shy - stop by for a chat. You'll often be offered a cup of milk tea and some pleasant conversation. Bring some gifts with you in anticipation of these visits.
