Mongolia Explorer

Mongolia is an amazing country and this tour offers you the possibility to sample the central part. It is diverse in landscapes and experiences and you will meet welcoming people. Be prepared and read carefully the itinerary, this trip brings you out of your comfort zone! It is a real adventure! The walks are fabulous but it is not flat; most of the ger have shared bathrooms; it can be cold in the ger during the night and in the morning depending when you travel; the food is different but not that much and ultimately, expect driving on bumpy tracks but really it’s a great experience because you can stop for animals and birds and see how locals live. A new paved route will open in October 2025 and others are being built, so go to Mongolia as soon as possible because it will all change quickly.

Very full on trip. Some stops eg 20 minutes at a lake to view birds was pointless as, for those interested, it was not long enough and, for those not interested, it was just time wasted. Moving every day was tiring so, perhaps, a couple more stops of two nights duration might be preferable, just to let folk get a breather ! A bit too much emphasis on man made attractions eg temples and monasteries in a country where the greatest attractions are it's natural landscapes. All in all a great trip though through an amazing country. No doubt some on the group will complain about some of the accom or food or vehicles etc. Ignore them, I loved it !!

Sara the tour leader was excellent. Good itinerary and the scenery is incredible. The gents varied from place to place but we're all to a fair standard. It does get cold in September.

Great trip. Incredible landscapes. Good bunch of fellow travellers and good food.
