How to choose your Mongolia private tour

For first-time visitors to Mongolia, a classic 5-6 day grassland itinerary is a good starting point; for those wanting to let children experience the life of nomadic herders at a leisurely pace, family-friendly tours are available; and for those prioritizing accommodation and in-depth landscapes, luxury routes in the north or central regions are worth considering. Winter trips are ideal for travelers who want to see frozen lakes, snowfields, and seasonal experiences.

Classic short steppe trips

Suitable for first-time visitors, focusing on the Telje, the Genghis Khan statue, the national park, and the yurt experience.

Family and Luxury In-Depth Tours

Reduce travel time and arrange your time at a family pace, visiting lakes, exploring pastoral culture, and finding comfortable accommodations.

Winter Snowfield Experience

Explore Lake Khövsgöl and the winter scenery of Mongolia. The itinerary may be adjusted according to weather and road conditions.

🇲🇳 Travel MaMa's Insider Tips

📸
How to Capture Cinematic Shots?

The lighting in Mongolia shifts dramatically. To get that travel magazine look, remember:

✨ The Golden Hour

The grasslands turn golden an hour before sunset, the absolute best time to photograph a traditional Ger.

👗 Wear Contrasting Colors

Against the green or yellow steppes, wearing red, blue, or white will make you pop perfectly in every photo.

🚁 Drone Tips

Most of Mongolia's vast steppes are a drone pilot's paradise. Don't forget to pack yours!

⛺
Luxury Camps vs. Traditional Gers

Many people worry that staying in a Ger means "wilderness survival." In fact, many of our private tours select Luxury Camps:

🛁 Luxury Style

Equipped with private en-suite bathrooms and heating, these feel just like a hotel. Perfect for families or those who prefer staying cozy.

🔥 Experiential Style

While using shared facilities, these are usually situated right in the heart of scenic spots, offering the deepest immersive experience.

🤝
3. Taboos inside a Mongolian Ger

Visiting a herder's home is a highlight of deep travel, but please respect the local culture:

🚪 Don't Step on the Threshold

Stepping on the threshold is considered highly disrespectful in Mongolian culture

✋ Receive Items with Your Right Hand

Whether accepting Airag (fermented mare's milk) or a gift, always use your right hand or both hands.

🗓️
The Best Time to Travel

🏇 July Naadam Festival

The atmosphere is unmatched, but it gets crowded and flights are pricey. Booking well in advance is highly recommended.

🍂 Golden Autumn in September

The grasslands turn yellow and the weather cools down. It's the most romantic season for photography, and thankfully, there are far fewer insects.

❄️ Winter Festivals

Visit in winter for ice festivals and dog sledding, an entirely different, exquisitely pure experience.

FAQ

FAQ

May to September is the best season, with the peak season in July for the Naadam Festival. July and August are also the wettest months of the year, but be assured, our climate is such that you will still have many sunny days at this time. The best time to visit the Gobi is June or September.
All direct flights come into Ulaanbaatar – most of them from Beijing, Seoul, Hong Kong,Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin and Istanbul. The Trans-Mongolian train from Moscow or Beijing makes a particularly exhilarating entry into the country. There are domestic flights and trains from Ulaanbaatar to the rest of Mongolia. Many of the tours use a 4WD Japanese and Korean vehicle, jeeps to transport you to your destination.
In Ulaanbaatar, you will be dining at fine European and Asian cuisine restaurants. Mutton, beef, rice and noodles form the basis of the Mongolian diet, so your meals will be based around this. However, the trail rations may include vegetables, eggs, peanut butter, cheese and sometimes yak! On some days there will be lunchboxes from tourist camps as there are no camps or eating places on the journey. It is good food and our experience has been that guests are happy with it.
In the Mongolian countryside, most routes are rugged off-road tracks, so a bumpy ride is part of the adventure. However, Travel Mama exclusively uses high-performance 4WD vehicles to ensure your safety and comfort. Since our private tours aren't rushed, our drivers are happy to stop whenever you spot a beautiful landscape, allowing you to stretch, take photos, and soak in the scenery, a much more relaxed experience than being stuck on a large tour bus.
No vaccinations are required. The tap water in the cities is safe to drink, but mineral water is recommended. We will supply mineral water during your trip.
Absolutely not! While mutton is traditional, our private tours offer great flexibility. In Ulaanbaatar, we can take you to high-quality Western, Russian, or Korean restaurants. At the camps, we can arrange beef, chicken, or vegetarian meals in advance.
It all depends on the arrangement! While large group tours can be exhausting with long drives, Travel Mama’s private tours are designed to be "chill." We offer flexible schedules and stays in luxury camps with private bathrooms, making it an unforgettable nature experience for kids.
Warm thin layers of clothing, waterproof jacket, good walking boots and sandals and a hat and headscarf to protect you from the sun and winds. Don’t forget insect repellent, sun cream, lip-gloss, water purifying tablets and first aid kit (medicine for headache, cold, diarrhea, runny nose; bandages; any medicine prescribed for you) all your camera equipment and binoculars and perhaps some snacks to eat between meal times.
Although not required, we recommend that our tour participants purchase a standard travel insurance policy through your insurance company. This is an affordable and comprehensive travel protection program that covers you for unexpected events that could cause you to cancel or interrupt your vacation, unexpected delays, medical assistance, loss of or damage to baggage.
We recommend bringing USD (crisp, new banknotes) and exchanging them for the local currency, Tugrik (MNT), at Ulaanbaatar airport or local banks. While credit cards are accepted in major cities, you'll need cash for souvenirs or horse riding in the countryside. Our guides will take you to places with the fairest exchange rates, so you don't have to worry about being overcharged.
The Naadam Festival is held annually from July 11th to 13th. As this is the most important festival in Mongolia, accommodation in Ulaanbaatar and flight tickets are usually fully booked a year in advance. To ensure your spot, we recommend booking your Travel Mama private tour at least 6 to 12 months early. This gives us enough time to secure the best luxury camps and prime seats for the opening ceremony, ensuring you experience the "Three Manly Games" of archery, wrestling, and horse racing in total comfort.
