    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2026

      To have the Naadam festival included, You must select the tour which is called 'Mongolia Encompassed: Naadam Festival' which is available from 2028. (All 2027 dates sold out)

      We can accommodate a vegetarian/vegan diet, However variety in meal options may be limited. We recommend you to bring some of your own food in case the options available are not suitable.

      Vicki

      Traveler•Written October 2026

      Do we get a chance to have the highlights? It says …… provincial or rural mini-Naadams later in July or August offers a more intimate, less crowded cultural experience.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2026

      With the Nomadic Mongolia tour, the main Naadam Festival in Ulaanbaatar is not included as part of the scheduled itinerary.

      The reference to provincial or rural “mini-Naadams” means that, if one is taking place during your trip in July or August, you may have the opportunity to experience a smaller, more local celebration. However, these events are seasonal and cannot be guaranteed in advance.

      If experiencing the traditional Naadam highlights of wrestling, archery and horse racing is important to you, we do have a dedicated Mongolia tour that is timed around the Naadam Festival.

    Where do we fly into and what cities in the US are the best to fly out of. When we arrive will there be someone to pick us up at the airport and at end of trip return us to airport. (Transfers)?

    Asked on April 13th, 2025

    I'm 66 yrs old and do like to travel this kind of adventure. My question is how strenuous is this tour? Am I obligue to bring my stuff in a back pack and not suitcase? I rather use a suitcase since I had surgery on my upper back. Also are there too many long hikes? I'm interested to join this tour in Aug or Sept.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025

      We have rated Nomadic Mongolia the following - Physical Rating: 3 - Average. Some tours may include light hiking, biking, rafting, or kayaking in addition to walking. The itinerary should detail any hikes if you read through this, I noted that Day 6 mentions the option to do a small hike in the Gobi Desert. You may bring a suitcase instead of a backpack, this is fine.

      Brenda

      Traveler•Written April 2025

    Eileen

    Asked on March 16th, 2025

    I was wondering if it was possible to not include the two days in Ulaanbaatar for my itinerary cause I'd be more interested in exploring it by myself. Also I love how your program is very focused on nomad life, but is the gobi desert present too?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025

      Our tours come as a package, we are unable to amend or remove any included city, service, etc.. If you wish to join the tour late, on day or 3, that is not a problem, however, no refund for unused services. On day 1 and day 2, mostly it's free time in the city, so you still have the time on your own. Gobi desert is included as part of the trip.
