Details about this trip
Mongolia is one of the least talked-about gems on the Earth but it is a country filled with stunning natural landscapes and amazing culture! Come with me to experience authentic nomadic Mongol lifestyle in a trip like no other! Starting in Ulaanbaatar, we will journey to historic wonders such as Karakorum, Elsen Tasarkhai and Terelj (among others). I can wait to share this amazing adventure with you!

My name is Josh and I am from Hampshire in the UK. I love travelling and have visited Mongolia before in 2024. I am super keen to go back there to experience more of this amazing country and to take part in the iconic Naadam festival. I'm looking for people to join me!

We will stay in a variety of accommodations. In the city of Ulaanbaatar, it will be an apartment. But in other areas of Mongolia, it will mainly be traditional nomadic homesteads or guesthouses. I would advise on bringing some warm sleeping gear as it can get very cold in Mongolia during the night time. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!

Ulaanbaatar

Day 7-9
We will spend the last couple of days exploring the city of Ulaanbaatar. There is no specific itinerary for these days so we can treat them as free days for doing whatever we feel like at the time. We can visit the iconic Sukhbaatar Square and enter the famous Chinggis Khaan museum. We should also check out Naran Tuul - Ulaanbaatar's famous black market. On the day of departure, we will all say our goodbyes and hopefully I will see you on another adventure!
