Highlights

The Essence of Mongolia is an activity-packed tour into central Mongolia. Visit the Khogno Khan Reserve, the dunes at Elsen Tasarkhai before venturing to the Hustai National park to see the wild Takhi horses and plenty of other wildlife. This condensed trip lets you experience as much of Mongolia as possible in a short time of four days. Overnight, stay at authentic guest gers next to local nomadic families and in a comfortable ger camp one night. Learn about your hosts’ culture and traditions, socialize with them, ride horses and Bactrian camels, hike and visit hilltop temples. This all-encompassing trip contains most of what Mongolia offers, including must do’s and must-see and is perfect for those with limited time in the country.

Itinerary

GURVANBULAG - GER STAY - HORSE RIDE

    After meeting your guide at 08:30 am at your hotel or another Ulaanbaatar location of your choice, board the vehicle and head west to the northern part of the Gobi, to Gurvanbulag, where you will stay in a guest ger alongside a nomadic family. On arrival, enter the family ger and experience nomadic hospitality – sample milk tea, homemade yoghurts, and curds, learning about the nomadic way of life and your hosts’ traditions. In the afternoon, if you are up for it, ride a horse to the nearby dunes – or you can walk if you prefer. In the evening, enjoy a traditional nomadic meal of Buuz (steamed dumplings) or Khuushuur (fried dumplings) – you can also help with cooking if you want.

Then we recommend taking the 45-minute hike up to the old ruined temple complex in the hills - the scenery is fantastic, and depending on the time of year, wildflowers may be in abundance. Head back down to the valley floor and onto the dunes at Elsen Tasarkhai, a 30-minute drive away. Tonight you will stay alongside a family of camel herders - settle into your gers and head off on a Bactrian ride across the dunes for an hour, then enjoy a home-cooked dinner.

Have lunch in the ger camp where you will be staying tonight, located right at the park’s entrance, then venture into the park to see the wild Takhi horses. Your guide will be in contact with the park rangers, who will relay the animals’ locations, and you have a high chance of seeing them up close.
