    Rita

    Asked on February 8th, 2026

    Would it be possible to do this tour Golden Sands & Reindeer Trails 15 Days Tour but also add the Gobi desert, Tsenkher Hot Springs and Bayanzag (Flaming Cliffs) please?

    Tour Details
    • R

      Rita

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      Is it possible to have vegan and vegetarian food on this trip?

    • R

      Rita

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      Also is it possible to walk instead of riding horses / reindeer?

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      Yes, it is absolutely possible to amend and customize the tour. Tour already includes Gobi Desert, and Bayanzag (Flaming Cliffs). We can customize the route and travel days to create a combined journey that covers all of these regions.

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      Regarding meals, we can provide both vegan and vegetarian options throughout the trip.

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      For the reindeer and horse trekking parts, walking is possible, however we must be honest that the terrain is very challenging and distances are long. For this reason, riding is strongly recommended for safety, comfort, and to fully enjoy the experience. You may, of course, walk short sections if you wish.

    • R

      Rita

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      Would it be possible to see the reindeers and horses but not ride them? Maybe using other transport if walking is not possible?

    • R

      Rita

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      Would this still go ahead with 2 people? We are happy for others to join or to join other groups.

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      Yes, but we only recommend horse because terrain is so hard with the foot only. But please don't worry our horses are mostly wild and free and they are happy horses. Alternatively, you can go on foot some distance then horse and so on...

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      For a private tour for 2 people, the total price would be USD 6,500 for both of you. As a special gesture, I am happy to offer you an early bird discount of 10%, which brings the total to USD 5,850 for two people.

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      If you find the private option a little pricey, I can certainly try to match you with other travelers who have similar travel dates, or place you into a small group to reduce the overall cost.

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      The tour will still go ahead with just two people, so you have full flexibility.

    Asked on January 19th, 2026

    I was wondering if you have this tour available at beginning of next May for $2280 per person.

    Price / Availability
    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written January 2026

      At the moment, we do not yet have enough confirmed participants for the departure on Sunday, 3 May 2026, which is why the tour is not fully confirmed at this stage. That said, we would be more than happy to actively assist in finding additional travelers to join the same date, should you wish to proceed.

      Alternatively, we can also offer some flexibility by adjusting the departure a few days before or after your preferred date, which often helps us confirm the tour more quickly.

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written January 2026

      We're thrilled to confirm that airport transfers are indeed included in our adventure packages. This way, you can relax and enjoy a stress-free start and end to your adventure with us.

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      Hi, am I still the only person so far interested in this tour. Is it difficult to say when there will be enough participants.

    • A

      Aaron

      Traveler•Written March 2026

      Ok if I'm correct, there's still 2 people interested in this tour. Do you know how many people are required for this tour.

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written March 2026

      At the moment, we still do not have enough participants to confirm a group departure for the Mongolian Odyssey tour. We usually require a few more people to form a group tour.

      However, if there are two of you interested, we could certainly arrange the tour as a private departure. The itinerary would remain the same, and we could organize everything according to your preferred dates.

    • A

      Aaron

      Traveler•Written March 2026

      Maybe. What would the cost be for the 2 of us.

    • Tengri ToursOperator•Written March 2026

      For two people, the total cost would be $6,930 for the itinerary we discussed.

      If you feel that this price may not be the most wallet-friendly option, please don't worry. We are currently still trying to form a small group for similar dates, which could help reduce the overall cost for everyone. If a group is formed, I would be very happy to let you know.
