Samuel· July 29th, 2024Excellent itinerary excellent tour guide and great people’sShow more
G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks so much for your review, Samuel! We are thrilled to know you enjoyed your time with us in Mongolia. The world deserves more you!Trip date: July 2024- Frank· June 30th, 2024great tour overall, wonderful guide and group, exceeded my already high expectations. BUT lots of driving involved(with lots of beautiful breaks inbetween). and if you are expecting dozens of things to do besides being in nature and hanging around with your group you should probably consider a different kind of trip.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review, Frank! This is a wonderful insight and we are grateful you shared this with us. We hope to welcome you on another trip in the near future!Trip date: June 2024
- Kassandra· June 24th, 2024The experience was great! I really enjoyed the trip and have been recommending to friends. It was a little confusing to book, but turned out right in the end. Thank you!!Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewWe are so glad to hear that you had such a fantastic experience. We hope to see you on another trip soon.Trip date: June 2024
- Tineke· September 29th, 2023This trip was amazing! I couldn't recommend it more highly. Huge landscapes and big skies, history, culture and warm and generous people. The trip itself was very well organized with a fantastic guide (thank you Gan-Erdene) and really competent great drivers. The accommodation in Gers was great - in many places as it started to get cold - they would come and light the stove at night and again early in the morning - super cozy! The only advice I would give is to bring a sleeping bag for the stay with the Nomad family (if you have room in your bag and especially as the weather gets colder) along with a good coat and rain coat. But in every single way this was a trip of a lifetime.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Tineke, Mongolia is on my bucket list! Thanks for the helpful feedback - our world deserves more you.Trip date: September 2023
- BTBrett· July 31st, 2023Our guide Uugie was organised enthusiastic informative and lot of fun and a great friend. Our drivers Tirinbaatar and Tsirindowg were excellent drivers who faultlessly negotiated sometimes difficult roads, and gave us a comfortable ride. They were lovely friendly helpful guys. The itinerary had a great variety of scenery, activities and interactions with beautiful Mongolean people. Food and accommodation exceeded expectations every day. Each day provided highlights and interesting features and experiences. The people were great, the journey was great, and the memories are great. Thoroughly recommend it.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Brett, Great to hear! We can't wait to have you back.Trip date: July 2023
- AJosephine Lau· June 26th, 2022Fantastic. Our CEO was amazingly kind, knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in how he managed the trip. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and travel with G adventures again.Show moreTrip date: December 2022Review collected by G Adventures
- ALaura Rinderknecht· June 29th, 2022Excellent trip around the Gobi desert and middle portions of Mongolia. Our CEO was fabulous - very knowledgeable, passionate, and personable. Beautiful countryside with long days in the vans. Loved staying in the ger camps - each one was unique and different! The nomadic homestay / camping was a highlight. Lots of nature in the Gobi desert - from dunes to flaming cliffs... and interesting history with Buddhist temples and Soviet purges. Not an "easy" trip - but certainly worth it! Things to pack: a light weight sleep sheet (the ger camps have heavy comforters and no top sheet, which can be hot at night in the desert.); eye mask and ear plugs - the sun rises early and the gers are open on top; saline spray for very dry air (or wet a towel to dry out while you're sleeping); an umbrella for the ladies to duck behind while peeing in the fields; audiobooks for the 5-7 hours a day in the van; an extra battery pack for charging - no electricity in the homestay and several ger camps had limited electricity for only specific hours. Don't let this scare you - it's a wonderful trip and country!Show moreTrip date: December 2022Review collected by G Adventures

- ARudolf Maarschalkerweerd· June 27th, 2022Great trip but lacking interesting activities. Often there was no real optional activity but waiting for lunch or dinner.

Brenda
Asked on April 13th, 2025I'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 2025We 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.

Asked on March 16th, 2025I 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?
- 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.
