Around Ulaanbaatar
Min 2 - Max 6
Just west of Ulaanbaatar, this full-day tour to Hustai National Park blends wildlife, history, and natural beauty. After passing the Moltsog Sand Dunes whose name means “eye”, you’ll stop at the visitor center to explore a small museum, watch an introductory video, and browse a souvenir shop offering wild horse-themed items. Inside the protected zone, wild Takhi (Przewalski’s horses) roam freely across rolling hills and valleys, alongside marmots, red deer, and raptors. Though wolves also inhabit the area, they are nocturnal and rarely seen during the day. The tour includes short hikes or scenic drives for wildlife viewing, plus a visit to the Ungut monument site, where ancient Turkic stone figures and balbal markers reflect Mongolia’s deep spiritual heritage. A warm lunch is served in a restaurant Ger camp near the reserve’s entry border. It’s a peaceful, immersive journey into Mongolia’s untamed steppe and timeless past.

<p>In cities and towns, guests can enjoy a wide range of familiar foods and drinks. At Ger camps, meals are prepared based on your booking and location—meats may include sheep, goat, camel, yak, horse, or cow, depending on the region. Mongolian livestock graze freely, making the meat naturally healthy and flavorful. Dietary requests (vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, lactose intolerance etc.) must be submitted in writing during booking, as they cannot be arranged on arrival. Tea, water, and morning coffee (instant or brewed) are served; espresso drinks may cost extra. Camp bars offer alcoholic beverages, mineral water, soft drinks, and canned sodas for purchase.</p>
<p>During our tours, overland travel is arranged using vehicles suited to group size and terrain. We use Japanese 4x4 off-road jeeps for up to 4 people total (including driver), larger jeeps for up to 5, travel vans for 6–7, and buses for up to 16. All vehicles are equipped with left-hand steering, in line with Mongolia’s right-side driving regulations.</p> <p>Our drivers are responsible for maintaining daily cleanliness and tidiness of the vehicles, managing luggage loading, and ensuring water supplies are stocked. Any forgotten belongings are carefully returned to their owners by our team.</p>
<p>We recommend carrying Mongolian Tugrug (MNT) during your tour, as it is widely accepted at markets, shops, ger camp bars, and souvenir stalls. Debit and credit cards are generally usable in cities and towns and Ger camps but POS machines may be unreliable in remote areas. For convenience, it’s best to carry both cash and cards. While prices are shown in foreign currency for reference, payments should be made in Tugrug, as foreign currencies are not commonly accepted.</p> <p>As a guide for the 2026 season:<br /> - A handmade souvenir may cost around USD 7<br /> - A loaf of bread USD 1,5 <br /> - A cashmere scarf USD 35<br /> - A 500 ml beer at a ger camp bar around USD 4</p>
<p>Our tours include optional riding experiences on horses, camels, or yaks, depending on the region and itinerary. When mounting, guests should approach the animal from the left side, place one foot in the stirrup and hold the reins securely, and sit balanced on the saddle or carpet. The reins are used to guide the animal—pulling left turns the head left, pulling right turns the head right, releasing allows free movement, and gently pulling inward signals the animal to stop.</p> <p>For safety and comfort, we kindly ask guests to avoid loud noises, waving scarves, or loose hats. Flip-flops and shorts are not recommended; closed shoes and long trousers are preferred. Please apply insect repellent and handle cameras or phones carefully, as sudden drops may startle the animal. </p>
