Mongolia Tours in Summer

Serjee was an exceptional leader and made the trip full of good fun with her positive attitude, warm and friendly demeanor, and genuine care of everyone. Staying in gers was a highlight of the trip, and the smaller, family-run ger camps were especially memorable. We experienced snow, rainstorms, sandstorms, and pollen storms (in June) and covered a lot of ground off road away from villages and cities. Meals were served mostly buffet style, with a variety of meats, potatoes, rice, vegetables, and fruit to customize one’s diet. We never went hungry!

We saw a wide range of Mongolian scenery: sand dunes, steppe, city, rock formations. A fair amount of driving was therefore needed but managed well with coffee and wee (not usually toilet) breaks. Snack and booze purchase stops included too. Great drivers who kept us safe and comfortable across the, mainly gravel, tracks. You'll see non-stop birds of prey, camels, horses, sheep, goats, yaks, marmots, squirrels and maybe a deer or ibex. Staying in gers was generally comfortable. Bring eye masks and ear plugs for the sunny mornings and sometimes noisy camp evenings (fellow travellers or yaks). Our bags were often taken from the cars to the gers for us. Could get busy around buffet meals and some extremely rural camps had limited staff to keep everything topped up promptly. There was a pleasing amount of salad and vegetables but everything has a chunk of mutton or camel on it. Everything. Wifi, showers & electricity varied. Expect little and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Prepare for all the hot or cold overnight and sandstorm /snow /heat /cold /rain in the day. For the most however we had excellent weather. Good to interact with nomadic herding families and be welcomed into their gers. Sara guided us well, always happy to explain about Mongolian culture and show us her beautiful country. Mongolia is about the scenery mainly but the museums, buddhist sites, music and people were also showcased. You'll be sad to return to the bustle & traffic of Ulaanbaatar at the end.

This trip was a delight from start to finish, brilliant guides and drivers, far better food and accommodation than anticipated, lovely group of mixed nationalities and ages and just an amazing country. Felt like we were in a different world, so much space.

This was an amazing trip, the magnificence of this country, people and culture was awe inspiring. Our drivers were kind, thoughtful, considerate and caring, excellent drivers on rough terrain, always cheerful and willing to help. Four very special men. Our guide was not up to Explore standard. He did not give clear instructions, was vague about the days activities, was distracted while using his camera rather than explaining to us the significance of the sites we were visiting or making sure we were safe, he needed to be reminded several times to do head counts to make sure everyone was accounted for. As a group we did raise this with him, he smiled and nodded and was ok for a few hours, but….. While he seemed a nice young man, he was lucky he had a group of really experienced and well read travellers otherwise the level of frustration with him would have been much worse. It was our holiday and we got on with it, for me it did not distract from the experience, but he did not do his job well.

A wonderful experience in Western Mongolia. So well supported by a great team of people. Our guide Chimge was beautiful, as were the cooks and drivers who worked so hard to ensure we were well looked after. We appreciated having the camels and horses carry our gear on the treks on the more difficult parts of the terrain and in case of injury or illness. I came away with so many photos from the Western Panorama trip. The tents provided were good and the felt sleeping pads helped make it a comfortable night's sleep. We had ample food despite being in remote locations.

Going to the Nada am festival is a rare and exciting experience. G Adventures made an unforgettable, fun experience that was well organized, safe and full of activity, good food and transportation. Really appreciate the effort the guide put in in making our experience unique.
