Invite the women you love — or come on your own — and experience Mongolia through the eyes of the women who live here. Our women-only tours are led by our team of Mongolian female trip assistants, who guide not just the route, but the conversations and encounters along the way, and who share a deep love of the experiences that travel can bring.
Travelling in a women-only group creates a different kind of space. It offers the chance to experience Mongolian culture from a distinctly female perspective — one shaped by shared stories, everyday realities, and moments of connection. Our women-only tours are a celebration of women’s strength and spirit, providing a personal and heartfelt introduction to Mongolia. Join us for a journey of discovery and camaraderie.
Our women-only tours in Mongolia are thoughtfully designed to offer a deeper understanding of the diverse lives of Mongolian women today. Rather than following fixed itineraries, each experience is flexible and shaped around time, interests, and pace. Guests can begin with one of our suggested routes or create something entirely their own — extending their stay, adjusting comfort levels, or adding active experiences such as trekking in western Mongolia or mountain biking in the Middle Gobi.
Throughout your journey, you’ll spend time with Mongolian women with whom we’ve built long-standing partnerships. These relationships go beyond professional collaboration; many are personal friendships developed over years of working together. This foundation of trust allows for genuine encounters — moments that unfold naturally rather than being staged for visitors.
Mongolian women have historically held a strong and visible position in society, often balancing family life with professional roles and community leadership. Our women-only tours create space to learn from their daily lives, responsibilities, work, and ambitions in ways that are grounded, open, and led by them.
Interest in women-focused travel continues to grow, but our decision to create women-only tours was never about following a trend. Eternal Landscapes’ work has long centred on gender equity and meaningful community partnerships, a commitment recognised internationally through our award as Gender Equality Champions of the Year by Equality in Tourism International.
Rather than adapting existing itineraries for a female audience, we design experiences from the ground up. These journeys are shaped jointly with local women and reflect the realities of their lives, as well as the values of care, curiosity, and mutual respect that guide our work.
Our all-women team of Mongolian trip assistants do not come from conventional tourism backgrounds. Hosting international women offers them opportunities for professional growth, cultural exchange, and confidence-building. In turn, guests travel alongside women who bring honesty, humour, and lived experience into every part of the journey — from logistics to shared conversations along the way.
There are several ways to experience a women-only journey with Eternal Landscapes, whether by joining a Founder-led tour, customising an existing itinerary for a female-only group, or co-designing a bespoke experience shaped entirely around your time, interests, and budget.
Travel with Jess, founder of Eternal Landscapes and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, on a small, women-only journey through Mongolia. Accompanied by one of our female Mongolian trip assistants, these tours reflect Jess’s long relationship with the country and the women she works alongside.
The Founder’s Tour offers space for conversation, shared curiosity, and a deeper look at Mongolia’s landscapes, history, and contemporary life, shaped by the women who call it home.
Choose from our range of itineraries, from single-day experiences to multi-day journeys, and adapt them for your women-only group. Travel alongside one of our female trip assistants, meet women hosts along the way, and spend time with projects and initiatives that support women across Mongolia.
If you have specific dates, interests, or limited time, we can design a women-only journey shaped entirely around you. Share your budget and travel window, and we’ll work with you to create an experience that fits.
Whichever approach you choose, our women-only journeys are centred on connection, shared experience, and an understanding of Mongolia shaped by the women who live and work here.
After her husband’s tragic accident, Darsuren, a devout Buddhist, relocated her family to the Amarbayasgalant Monastery, motivated by her desire for her middle son to receive an education as a boy monk, a path she believed would offer both spiritual guidance and future stability. While searching for accommodation near Amarbayasgalant in Mongolia, we sought a place that would allow our guests the freedom to explore the area independently, without the dependency on vehicles, and that operated year-round to also contribute to the local community’s economy. This search led us to Darsuren, who offers 2-3 gers as guest accommodations.
