Mongolia Holidays

Explore

Mongolia is a land of huge open landscapes and incredible contrasts, from the sweeping grasslands of the central steppe to the rugged Altai Mountains, forests of the north and vast Gobi Desert in the south. Explore the towering sand dunes of Khongoryn Els, discover the dramatic Flaming Cliffs, hike through Gorkhi-Terelj National Park or take in the peaceful scenery around Lake Khovsgol. History comes alive at ancient Karakorum and Erdene Zuu Monastery, while Ulaanbaatar offers museums, Buddhist temples, lively markets and a fascinating glimpse into modern Mongolian life.

At the heart of any journey through Mongolia is its rich nomadic heritage. Stay in a traditional ger, meet local families and discover how communities have lived alongside their animals and the land for generations. Travel across the open steppe, explore the vast landscapes of the Gobi and gain an insight into traditional customs and everyday life. A stay at a ger camp offers the chance to slow down, embrace a simpler way of living and connect with the people who call these remote landscapes home. Food is another way to experience the culture, from hearty buuz dumplings and crispy khuushuur to traditional dairy products and meals shared around the camp. For something truly memorable, time your visit around Naadam Festival or the Golden Eagle Festival.

There’s plenty to discover beyond Mongolia’s famous landscapes, whether you’re drawn to wildlife, history, adventure, photography or authentic cultural experiences. Search for the wild Przewalski’s horses of Hustai National Park, camp beneath some of the world’s clearest night skies, explore remote valleys or simply enjoy the feeling of having nowhere else you need to be. Accommodation ranges from comfortable hotels in Ulaanbaatar to traditional ger camps and more luxurious wilderness stays, making it possible to create anything from an adventurous small-group journey to a private tailor-made escape. Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a cultural journey, a family trip or an unforgettable expedition into the wilderness, Mongolia offers an experience unlike almost anywhere else.
