Wondering when you might have dates and prices for August/September 2026 available?

As of today, we do not have any open departure for next August/September 2026. If there is a date that suits you, I'd be happy to open now a new departure and start advertising the tour to find fellow travellers. We would be looking for a group of around 6 PAX.

How much experience is needed for the horseback riding? How long are the rides? Are most days full if activities? From the itinerary it seems so. I am interested in this trip because it looks like we get to do a lot. I am a photographer and hoping for lots of photo ops.

The beginner is ok for riding a horse. Your horse guide will teach you a few rules that flow. Yes the tour is best option for you (photographer).

What form of transportation is used during this tour? Do you recommend bringing any specific gear or clothing? What toilets are standard here? Could you provide more information on the horseback riding, is it suitable for someone who hasn't rode a horse before? How long will we be riding the horse for and how fast?

1. 4x4 van or jeep for transportation. 2. after confirmed. 3. We are aware of international standard toilets, so we are afraid that Mongolian steppe toilets not like you know. 4. 3-4 hours per-day. Beginner is ok. Horse guide support and help you during the trip.

Do you have to be very physically fit for this tour?

If you have ridden a horse before, it is very good. It is possible to start the trip with at least 2 travelers, so your travel request will be on a waiting list. Can you wait for 3 weeks?

If it wasn't for having three really great guides on this tour I would have given it only one star. Mongolia was and is an amazing hidden Gem in this world and I encourage people to go there and see its splendor for themselves. The people are amazing, the places and climate is quite brutal at times but still and experience to cherish... But, Choose your tour operator wisely. TTR Informed me that I would have to pay an additional sum the morning I was flying out? This I learned through 3 other travelers was something they had asked of others as well despite having these additional accommodation and Taxi expenses already prepaid. (This had to be cleared up forcefully) Additionally, the itinerary advertised and paid for was not the itinerary delivered. On the contrary, each traveler and even our guides had alternating versions of the itinerary which made planning, execution and above all else made managing our expectations very difficult. From day one of the tour, it was clear that TTR was more concerned about budgets and money than the health, safety and well being of it's travelers. There was no First aid kit, faulty and No PPE provided for the Horse riding. The Accommodation was at times very questionable, unsafe and unsanitary. On the first day there were appalling conditions in the toilets and showers, and in the days that followed we sometimes had to endure no showers at all and squat toilets (hole in ground and balancing on two planks) which in some cases didn't even offer the dignity of a door for privacy.) On one occasion in a hotel I found feces on the wall, scum in the sinks, dust and grit on the floor, blood and hair between my sheets. On one occasion the toilets blocked up completely, and FYI, Hot water was a rare luxury. One one occasion our guides removed us early from a place which had a very filthy kitchen. (Note: None of these conditions were mentioned in the Trip Details so my expectations were not managed) We did manage to avoid some of these foul conditions by moving on to other less filthy places at our own cost and on several occasions it was our guides who found better alternatives and diverted us from other filthy places. Additionally, our Guides were struggling at times to get funding for Petrol, water, food etc, which TTR was drip feeding to them on a semi daily basis. At one point the Director was not contactable and funds dried up so we paid for our own Petrol too. This tour was very poorly designed, managed and executed. TTR was very unprofessional with their dealings with the tour guides and tourists. The Director was at times abusive towards the guides and myself. Traveler beware... I don't recommend anyone travel with TTR unless you're into that kind of thing. But, OMG! Do go to Mongolia. The country is amazing and the young population there are just so friendly, outgoing and fun to be around. The time I spent in UB, the HU concert, the Reindeer festival, Nadaam and the Gobi desert are memories that'll last a lifetime. Loves Mongolia..Show more

  I'm a solo traveller, so it's only me who would be booking. I'm always happy to have tours with other travellers joining though, it's such a great way to make new friends. I would be looking at around 31st August for the tour.
- TTRMongoliaOperator•Written September 2025
  I will open a departure on the 31st of August for next summer and start advertising it to find other travellers. I will keep you updated, but it can take a bit of time as we are just in September now.

  I wouldn't be booking until beginning of January. I'm currently doing a tour through tourradar in December, so I want to wait until after then so that I can use my tourrader travel credits.
