Rural Mongolia Nomadic Lifestyle

Bailey_F, Jul 2026

This was a very authentic rural Mongolian experience. There was no running water, and the accommodations were much more rugged than I expected. We ended up sharing a yurt with another couple, which made for a pretty tight living space, so be prepared.That said, once I adjusted my expectations, I really enjoyed it. We rode horses, attended a traditional Mongolian festival, played the bone game, and tried so many delicious local foods. The animals were adorable. There were sheep, cows, horses, and chickens all around, which really added to the experience. The pickup and coordination were very simple and well organized. One thing to keep in mind is that getting there involves a 9-hour train ride each way from Ulaanbaatar, so two days of your trip will be spent traveling. Overall, this isn’t a luxury experience it’s a true taste of rural Mongolian Nomadic life. It was definitely rough at times, but once I got used to it, I found it to be a really unique and memorable adventure

The whole family was...

Shunsuke_Y, Jun 2026

The whole family was cheerful, warm, and very kind, and they paid attention to every detail. The horseback riding and daily-life experiences felt less like a standard tour and more like spending a summer holiday at a relative’s home. It was very relaxing and welcoming. (JP) ご家族みなさんが明るく朗らかで、とても優しく、細かなところまで気を配ってくださいました。乗馬や日々の暮らしの体験は、一般的な旅行やツアーというより、夏休みに親戚の家を訪ねたような感覚で、とてもリラックスして過ごせました。受け身で案内を待つだけでなく、こちらから質問したり、やってみたいことを伝えたりすると、より深く楽しめる体験だと思います。とても温かく、印象に残る時間でした。

TAKUYA_A, May 2026

This is a homestay-style tour organized not by a company, but by an individual and their family. Therefore, if you let them know what kind of experience you’re looking for—either in advance or during your stay—they should be able to accommodate your requests with a fair amount of flexibility. I was able to enjoy the tranquil natural scenery of northern Mongolia and the warm hospitality of the family. The host is fluent in English, so as long as you can speak English, you shouldn’t have any trouble communicating.

It was a memorable experience for the rest of my life, learning a lot about nomadic life.

MAITO_S, May 2026

Thank you for organizing such a wonderful tour. I was helped by a friendly tour guide and a nomadic family, which gave me a valuable experience. The food was great and I didn't feel any inconvenience during my stay. On the first day, you will travel during the day to see various views of Mongolia, and on the way back you will take a sleeper train, which allows for an efficient trip. Please try different things on this tour and make it a great trip!
