About this trip

Four days in central Mongolia, covering a lot of ground for a short trip. You move between the Orkhon Valley, the Khogno Khan Reserve, the dunes at Elsen Tasarkhai and Hustai National Park, staying with nomadic families along the way.

Nights are split between guest gers with local hosts and a ger camp, so you get a real sense of nomadic life alongside some home comforts. Expect horse and camel rides, hikes and time spent talking with the families who host you.

It is a condensed itinerary rather than a slow one, built for travellers who want a genuine taste of Mongolia's landscapes, wildlife and culture without a long stay.

What you'll do

  • Explore the Orkhon Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site
  • Walk the dunes at Elsen Tasarkhai
  • Spot wild Takhi horses and other wildlife in Hustai National Park
  • Ride horses and Bactrian camels with nomadic hosts
  • Stay overnight in guest gers with local families
  • Visit a hilltop temple in the Khogno Khan Reserve
Good to know
  • A fast-moving four days rather than a relaxed one, with a new activity or location most days
  • One night is in a ger camp, the rest in guest gers with nomadic families, so expect simple, close-to-nature accommodation
