★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 353 reviews · 8 hours · from $86Our pick

Travel from Ulaanbaatar to the Genghis Khan Statue Complex and Terelj National Park with an English-speaking guide such as Baga, Tom, D, or Dorj. Ride a camel, hold a hunting eagle, visit Turtle Rock and Aryabal Monastery, and eat a Mongolian lunch in a ger.

“Overall the activity was enjoyable. The people we met on our tour were friendly and easy-going with a good-natured sense of humour. The guide was very conscientious, which I appreciated, as he was frequently checking in with us. Everything was done at a reasonable pace with a sensible order. We were able to see Mongolia's striking landscape with the panoramic views which the activity took us on. I'd recommend this activity to people. If you made me say something negative, I'd just say that the traffic of Ulaanbaatar is uncontrollable.”

We waited outside our hotel for over 1.5 hours and our pickup never arrived. We texted - no answer. We called and asked the hotel staff to call on our behalf and we were told that the phone number provided on the Viator website was not viable. This was a HUGE disappointment. We are STILL waiting for our refund.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 67 reviews · from $69

Spend 90 minutes with Mongolian song, throat singing, traditional instruments, dance, acrobatics, and contortion at the Mongolian National Folk Song and Dance Ensemble. The show is held at the Cultural Center of Railway, with hotel pickup available. Winter performances run Thursdays and Sundays only.

“The theater may be small, but the show is absolutely vibrant and captivating! Each performance segment is kept short, giving the audience a taste of different forms of Mongolian traditional art before smoothly moving on to the next. This pacing keeps the entire program lively and engaging without ever feeling drawn out. Do note that the theater is on the second floor and there’s no elevator. Guests in wheelchairs may need to consider whether they’re comfortable with the staff carrying them upstairs. In our case, my mother was warmly assisted by the troupe’s team, who couldn’t have been more kind and enthusiastic—an unforgettable part of the experience in itself!Read more”
