Planning may not have been one of Ulaanbaatar’s strengths but it doesn’t mean that this is a city to quickly dismiss as not worth spending time in.

Our Mongolia one-day tours of Ulaanbaatar provide a way of getting in touch with the unique atmosphere and character of city and with the local community. This day is not about museums or shopping or a list of temples – it’s about getting out and about and exploring and discovering – especially the contrasts that make this city so fascinating.

Travel by local transport, walk through some of UB’s typical neighbourhoods and see panoramic views of UB that put the city into perspective including that from the Nogoon Nuur Community Project that we provide long-term support to.

Spend a relaxed and informal day in the company of a resident of the city. We keep the itinerary fluid depending on the time of year and the weather but in essence it encompasses locations and activities of a typical UB citizen as well as eating with the locals in standard Mongolian eateries

Group Size – Minimum of one and maximum of six. For larger groups please get in touch.

With our day trip to Khustain we approach things a little differently.

Khustain is one of Mongolia’s conservation success stories and the slower pace of the horse trek on our one-day tour helps to provide you with a better understanding of the biodiversity of Khustain – its people, landscapes and wildlife.

You’ll depart UB early and drive straight to the home of the Batchuluun family.  They are members Bayansonginot Cooperative  –  a community based tourism organisation focusing on developing community based tourism as an alternative income generation as well as promoting the modern day herding way of life. 

Once arrived, you’ll swap your four wheels for four legs as you explore the national park on horse back. Although the main valley is busy with visitors trying to catch a glimpse of the wild Takhi horses, the backcountry offers a diverse and wild landscape perfect for getting away from it all for a few hours – experiencing panoramic views and a great picnic lunch.

The stars of the show are obviously the wild Takhi horses which are free ranging through the hills and mountains of the national park. The Takhi have a number of ranges which include the ridge tops of the national park. As with all wildlife, there is no guarantee of catching a sighting but we will try – whilst keeping within the strict rules and regulations of the NP.

The length of horse trek is flexible – depending on your own requests. If you wish not to horse trek let us know as it reduces the price.

Group Size – Minimum of one and maximum of six. For larger groups please get in touch.  Includes a picnic lunch.
