Amazing country, best tour itinerary out there to go see it
People back home keep asking me why I went to Mongolia. My answer has been: "because it's Mongolia." G provided a spectacular adventure with spectacular people.
People made this a fantastic trip overall, the country is one of a kind, so beautiful. We shared ger camps with the Classic tour in a few instances, and this is a first, we did other NatGeo trips and there was a clear difference in the level of accommodation. The high cost of this trip needs to reflect in better wages for local people, as the accommodation is basic, my hope is that the guide and the drivers can have a better and more competitive income. I understand that previous travellers have given feedback about the Gobi Anar camp in the past and no changes have been implemented. Our local experience was frustrating and disappointing and I would love to chat with a manager about it, please feel free to give me a call at your convenience.
My experience with National Geographic and G Adventures in Mongolia was literally life-changing. From the capital city to the Gobi desert to the nomadic ger camps, I was able to experience first-hand the many wonderful facets of this gorgeous country. By sharing with our group their deep love of Mongolia, the guides ensured that each of us carried home our own love of the country.
Its hard to put into few words how amazing this trip was but as Ive said it all started with Ganaa, who proceeded to make an already beautiful country even more amazing. I couldn?t be happier I chose to go to Mongolia
This trip was exceptional. I?ll never forget the people I met or our guide, Ganaa, the landscape, culture and history. Our guide gave us the best experience of Mongolia.
A truly unique experience with great group and a wonderful guide.
wonderful landscape, great experience, nice group, excellent guide, was really worth the trip
