Updated: Oct 7
What is a Mongolia tour really like? Expect long drives through vast open landscapes, nights in ger camps, meals with nomadic families — and far more laughter than you'd think.

From Yaks to Wrestling: Unforgettable Experiences on Our Mongolia Tours
If you're looking for a trip that will leave you with aching sides from laughter and unforgettable memories, then Mongolia is the place to be! And if you want to make the most out of your Mongolian adventure, then look no further than the hilarious and knowledgeable Mongolia tour guides.
At Mongolia Tours, our expert guides will show you the best of Mongolia, from the breathtaking landscapes to the quirky traditions. But be warned, our guides are not your typical boring tour guides. They're more like stand-up comedians with a love for yaks!
One of our customers, let's call him Bob, was not prepared for the hilarious adventure that awaited him on his Mongolia tour. From the moment he met his guide, Khaliunaa, he knew he was in for a wild ride. Khaliunaa was not your average tour guide. She was more like a mix of Indiana Jones and Ellen DeGeneres, with a love for yaks that was contagious.
Bob and Khaliunaa's journey started with a trek through the stunning Gobi Desert. Khaliunaa kept Bob entertained with her hilarious stories about her adventures with yaks. She even showed him how to do the "yak dance," a traditional Mongolian dance that involves mimicking the movements of a yak. Bob was a little skeptical at first, but after a few tries, he was a yak-dancing pro!
As they traveled through the countryside, Khaliunaa introduced Bob to the Mongolian people and their unique culture. She took him to a traditional Mongolian wrestling tournament, where they watched burly men in tight pants grappling each other in the dirt. Bob was a little hesitant at first, but Khaliunaa convinced him to join in the fun. Let's just say Bob learned a valuable lesson about not underestimating the strength of a Mongolian wrestler.
Get ready to witness some serious smackdown action as foreign wrestlers go head-to-head with the pros! It's like the Olympics, but with more grunting and fewer medals.
But the fun didn't stop there. Khaliunaa took Bob to a nomadic family's home, where they learned how to make traditional Mongolian dumplings. Bob was not the most skilled dumpling-maker, but he sure had a lot of fun trying. And the dumplings tasted delicious!
In the end, Bob's Mongolia tour with Khaliunaa was an adventure he would never forget. He laughed, learned, and made memories that would last a lifetime. And he even went home with a newfound appreciation for yaks!
Mongolia Tours: Frequently Asked Questions
Are Mongolia tours suitable for solo travelers?
Yes. Solo travelers like Bob are common in Mongolia — you travel with a local guide and driver, and you can join a small group to share costs. A good local operator will match you with a tour that fits your style, or you can plan a custom trip to Mongolia built around your dates and budget.
When is the best time to take a Mongolia tour?
Mid-June to late August is peak season, with warm weather and the Naadam Festival in July. September brings golden autumn colors and fewer visitors. See our month-by-month guide to the best season for Mongolia tours for details.
What do you actually do on a Mongolia tour?
Most itineraries combine landscapes and culture: exploring the Gobi Desert, sleeping in ger camps, visiting nomadic families, horse or camel riding, and — if your timing is right — festivals with wrestling, archery and horse racing.
How do I find a good local guide?
Book directly with a locally owned operator and ask about licenses, experience and reviews — our guide on how to hire a local tour guide in Ulaanbaatar covers exactly what to ask before you book.
