    Tour Details
    • Crooked CompassOperator•Written September 2025

      We could run this itinerary as a private tour for your group of 4. Pricing should be very similar as the small-group tour is based on pricing for a minimum of 4 people.

      Gail

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      Besides the festival, their interests in the order of priority is: Gobi desert, stargazing, natural sites, eagle hunters and horses.

    • Crooked CompassOperator•Written September 2025

      We could arrange a short meeting with an Eagle hunter and their eagle in Terelj National Park. We can definitely arrange some horse-riding as well - Terelj National Park is an ideal spot for this. Ideally we would need 15 days.

  • T

    Tracey

    Asked on April 23rd, 2025

    Is it possible that I get my own room to sleep in for the whole tour?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Crooked CompassOperator•Written April 2025

      If you opt to include the single supplement, this will provide you with your own room for the four nights spent in hotels across the 13-night itinerary. The remaining nights are accommodated in traditional ger camps, where lodging is multishare—typically four guests per ger. During Naadam, demand for accommodation is particularly high, and single occupancy gers are extremely limited due to inventory constraints.
