★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · 2 days · from $250Best value

Review of a 2-day private tour from Ulaanbaatar to Kharkhorin and Elsen Tasarkhai, with monastery visits, sand dunes, and a nomad homestay.

“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…”

Spend two days in Mongolia’s Semi Gobi, sleep with nomads, ride camels, and explore Kharkhorin’s ancient capital and Erdenezuu Monastery.

Though it was a relatively short trip to mini Gobi, we get to witness nomadic living including Camel riding & sampling of both horse’s & camel’s milk. It would not have been possible without our good guide, Nymka.”
