  • S

    Steven

    Asked on June 25th, 2025

    Can attending the Nadaam festival be added to this tour either at the beginning or the end?

    Tour Details
    • Yellowwood Adventures LtdOperator•Written June 2025

      Yes absolutely this trip can be an add-on option. Both tours can be booked together and we can run the Horse Riding either before or after.

  • W

    Wendy

    Asked on February 5th, 2023

    I wanted to do a tour of the 3 Stans before or after this horse riding trip. Can you please give me some dates, I was thinking about 10-14 days in the Stans. I am interested in wildlife, what kind of things are we likely to see on the horse riding trip?

    Travel Support
    • Yellowwood Adventures LtdOperator•Written February 2023

      We regularly run trips in especially Kyrgyzstan & Uzbekistan so will be happy to create a bespoke adventure for you prior to this Mongolia adventure (which is a guaranteed departure). We don't send our brochures but have a lot of information on our website. We will need to discuss this with you first. I suggest you pay the deposit for the Mongolia group tour when TourRadar will share your contact details then we can discuss the other sections.

  • D

    Diana

    Asked on April 29th, 2022

    I'd like to know if there's any way a separate excursion to a shaman could be arranged, outside of the normal tour offering of course?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • Yellowwood Adventures LtdOperator•Written April 2022

      We will be very happy to arrange a private tour to a shaman after the adventure although this will take some consultation and a little time to organise with our local partners on the ground.

    • D

      Diana

      Traveler•Written April 2022

      Any thoughts on this and is it okay to hold off on booking a bit longer so we have better flight options potentially? Also, do you have vaccination reqs? And if the trip needs to be cancelled (whether pandemic or personal), what are the cancellation policies?

    • Yellowwood Adventures LtdOperator•Written April 2022

      Mongolia does not require testing upon arrival regardless of vaccination status. If we cancel the trip you are due a full refund - if you cancel the trip you will lose the deposit and varying % of the final payment dependent on when you do so as we have to sink costs to pay suppliers upfront.
