- Marco Nicolas· July 4th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishWe stayed with a nomadic family in Mongolia for a few days. The experience was special in its own way, but not quite what we had imagined. We stayed in the same place the whole time, which became a bit monotonous in the long run - mainly because the family was sometimes not there and we didn't know where they were. Due to the heat, we spent a lot of time in the yurt or looked for small hiking trails on our own. Our guide was friendly and spoke good English, but in my opinion he could have organized more or communicated better what was planned and when. When the family was there, they were very welcoming and openly integrated us into their everyday life: We were allowed to milk cows, round up sheep and help make dairy products - that was definitely a highlight. The food was also consistently delicious and authentic. Important to know: There are no sanitary facilities - the toilet is a simple hole, showering is not possible. I therefore strongly recommend bringing wet wipes, a filter water bottle, toilet paper and mosquito spray. You should also be aware that the horses are very wild and not necessarily suitable for beginners. If you are looking for a quiet time in beautiful nature and can accept simple living conditions, you will still have an impressive experience here.Show moreTrip date: June 2025

Asked on April 12th, 2025How much does a private room costs? Can I join as single traveller? What happens in case I arrive 1 day late? How much are the extra costs not included in this package for the entire tour? Tips, (must or not?) Entree Fees, etc.. Where do we normally eat? What time do we finish the tour? (For the flight back.)
TTRMongoliaOperator•Written April 2025Yes, you can join as a single traveller, and we can organise this tour exclusively for you. There are no private rooms available for this tour, as the idea is to stay and live with a Nomadic Family in their yurt. Travelers have their own yurts next to the one of the family. There are no extra costs. You are free to tip your guide and driver. You will eat with the family in their yurt. The area you'll go, Amarbayasgalant Monastery is located about 6 hours from Ulaanbaatar's airport. So I would not advise to have your flight the same day as the tour ends. Better to fly out the following day.
