Mongolia · 2-DAY EXPERIENCES
Two days is the shortest trip with a night on the steppe in it, which is the whole difference. The 11 below compare ger-camp nights, drive distances and prices.
From Ulaanbaatar, travel by private jeep to a nomadic family in Töv. Ride across open country, help herd sheep and goats, milk cows, share home-cooked meals, and sleep in a private ger. English-speaking guides such as Koko or Toya help bridge the language gap.
Travel from Ulaanbaatar to Kharkhorin and Elsen Tasarkhai with an English or Russian-speaking guide. See Erdene Zuu Monastery, the old Mongol capital, mini Gobi dunes, and nomadic life. Guide Jana is praised for her care and flexibility, though vehicle and guide arrangements should be confirmed.
“The trip to Kharhorin was an unforgettable experience! Even the journey there took me through an impressive landscape of endless steppes, gentle hills, and small nomadic camps. One of the highlights was the visit to Erdene Zuu Monastery, the oldest Buddhist monastery in Mongolia. We were even lucky enough to see a film being shot there, which was a unique bonus. A particularly special part of the trip was the opportunity to stay with a local family. This allowed me to experience Mongolian hospitality up close and try traditional dishes, making the trip feel even more authentic. A big compliment goes to the guide: he was not only very knowledgeable…”
Leave Ulaanbaatar at 8 a.m. with a small group of up to 12, then cross the semi-Gobi, meet nomadic families, ride camels, sleep in a ger, and visit Karakorum, Erdene Zuu Monastery, and Hustai National Park. Guides such as Tsoki, Utaa, and Urtnasan are paired with local drivers.
“O think this was an incredible expensive tour with very poor offer. It began with no one answering to my messages. Then we went on the tour but they only one small bottle of water. The lunch at the local family was miserable and the family not nice at all. Then sleeping in the get ok but in the morning was me that had to wake up the guide. On the returning we didn’t do the national park with horses because of weather conditions. No one offer me an alternative and just drove me back. I have to say I will never book with viator again”
