Mongolia is not a country you can travel without a tour if you want to visit the grasslands and desert outside of the capital city, and this was the perfect length of tour to join as someone who had limited time. Both my driver, Muugii, and my guide, Unu, were phenomenal. Muugii knew every road by heart and was so patient in helping me spot the Takhi wild horse, which were what drew me to Mongolia in the first place. Unu answered all my random questions and made my first solo trip feel not lonely at all. While at first, I struggled staying with a nomadic family with no running water, I enjoyed seeing and experiencing their way of life. Getting to make lamb dumplings with the grandma was very meaningful to me. I love horses and seeing all the horses everywhere truly made my heart happy.Show more

I found the tour group very easy to communicate with and quick to respond, which I really appreciated. We covered a good amount of Mongolia, and I enjoyed the authenticity of the homestays. My guide was informative and easy to get along with. I especially liked the two tourist ger stays—the first one felt peaceful and genuine, while the second was crowded and a bit too touristy for my taste. There was a lot of time spent in the car, which was tough; my favorite moments were the walks I took on my own, outside the planned itinerary, to experience Mongolia’s natural beauty. Coming from the U.S., it was a bit of an adjustment traveling in a less developed country, especially to remote, off-road locations. I barely slept for five days due to the uncomfortable accommodations and am still dealing with fatigue. I’d suggest adding more evening activities, and offering more to see on the third, fourth, and especially the long fifth day drive back. I really like making dumplings with one of the homestays which I asked to do. Once again I feel like it would be better if we got to actually participate in the nomadic lifestyle. Western travelers should be warned about the bumpy back roads—I was extremely carsick. It was also hard to connect with the people at the homestays, so I sometimes felt isolated. Still, the trip was special: I enjoyed the food, valued the guide’s knowledge and kindness, and loved my solo hikes and temple visits.Show more

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 day tour through the beautiful Mongolian county. Our guide and driver were installed class and provided excellent services and information throughout out trip. We stayed with local nomad families and enjoyed their lifestyle and living arrangements which was 1 of the many highlights of the trip. We especially liked the local cooking and had some great food during these overnight stays. The country side is magnificent and the long daily drives pass by with different scenery at each turn. Thourghly recommended this experience for everyone.Show more
