Highlights
Our nomadic family is located at Terelj National Park area.
Step into the untamed beauty of Mongolia’s countryside and see a day in the life of a traditional yak herder family. This immersive 1 day 1 night journey blends adventure with culture, offering a rare opportunity to ride majestic horses and sturdy yaks across the open steppe.
Your adventure begins with a scenic horse ride through the sweeping grasslands, where the air is crisp and the land stretches endlessly. Also, you'll ride a yak and take pic with yaks
Arriving at a herder family’s ger (yurt), you’ll be welcomed with warm hospitality and local dairy delicacies. Spend the day learning customs, participating in daily tasks such as herding, and milking cows.
As evening settles, share a home-cooked meal and sleep under the vast starry sky inside a cozy ger, warmed by a yak dung stove — a night as authentic as it gets.
Tour guide follows and explains everything throughout the day.
