Comments from our tour 2008 using this itinerary

“This a great vacation. I loved every minute of it.”

“Enjoyed everything we did in Mongolia. Excellent guide.”

“Included meals were as good as what was available in Ulaanbaatar. The restaurants were excellent and had great variety.”

“Our guide was fantastic, the restaurants were fabulous and all the experiences were well noted and enjoyed.”

“Without exception, the drivers were skillful and good humored, rather necessary after miles of unpaved roads.”

The Naadam Festival of horsemanship, archery, wrestling and pageantry is the highlight of Mongolian life, and we’ll take you there!

Picture yourself in a comfortable ger (yurt) on the endless steppe under a brilliant starry sky...and exploring the Great Gobi Desert. Spin a prayer wheel inside a richly gilded Buddhist temple. Marvel at exquisite pagodas filled with precious thangkas.

This vacation is specially designed for fun-loving, free-spirited, energetic and active travelers - of all ages. On our tour we will also have the opportunity to meet many nomadic people and see how the Mongols live their daily lives. We will stay in a centrally located 4-star Ulaanbaatar Hotel as well as traditional Ger camps (pronounced “gears” and also called yurts). We will experience the customary nomadic lifestyle first-hand, while still enjoying the convenience and service of modern life – toilets, showers and dining room.

Another key aspect of Mongolia is its rich dinosaur history. There have been many fossils and other prehistoric animal remains found in this region. These amazing finds will be admired at the Mongolian Museum of Natural History and at Bayan Zag’s “Flaming Cliffs”. Seeing these ancient wonders are a life long treasure which won’t be soon forgotten. All meals while in Mongolia are included.

Between the cultural aspects, the natural beauty and the fascinating history of this country, this is truly a grand tour of Mongolia. We will only take a maximum of 15 travelers, so don’t miss out on this extraordinary opportunity!
Come and be a part of this unique experience!
