Review of an 8-day Mongolia tour from Ulaanbaatar, with the Gobi, camel and horse rides, ger stays, and practical comfort advice.

“Great driver and great guide who both took excellent care of me, and amazing vistas! Definitely sold me on Mongolia, and there were a fascinating mixture of different landscapes. The horse and camel riding experiences were very enjoyable as well. NGL though, the living conditions are pretty grim. The tents are cold even with the sleeping bag they give you, the toilets are outhouses where you usually need to bring your own paper/soap/etc, beds are less than comfortable and the roads are often bad. Completely worth it, but best to be prepared.”
