Family vacaction with horse riding tour.
Mongolia
|
Jul 10 - Jul 23, 2026
We had a great time in Mongolia. Our guide Khishgee was super nice and very professional, also our driver (Zorgo ?) was a very nice man and driver. The highlight of the trip were the four days horse riding. After we complained after 1.5 days about the route being too close to the street, they changed the route for riding more in remote areas. The horse guide shall in general know that we do not come to Mongolia to do a horse riding tour along a busy country road. All the hotels/Ger Camps we stayd were very good and we enjoyed at the end having everytime our own bathrooms attached. The hotel in Karakorum was really good and nice to have after four days without a shower and toilet. Gobi Desert was really nice too and we truly enjoyed that we had expressed the wish that we do not change Camps every night in Gobi but rather stay in one camp for three nights. It meant maybe a little more driving but it was much more relaxed not having to pack and unpack very day. Plus it enabled our teenaged children to skip either a morning or afternoon excursion. The Dream Gobi Ger Camps was a very good camp to stay in. Also the Best Western Hotel in Ulaanbataar was a very nice hotel and top location. Maybe we could have left Ulaanbataar on the second day earlier to avoid more traffic and arrive earlier in the Hustai Ger Camp. Otherwise, we were very lucky during out trip that we only had rain showers in the evening with being in a camp or tent and otherwise, we had dry, warm and sunny days and in Gobi not too hot days.
Hotel Reviews
The tent were generally ok, but one tent we used in the first night was not water tight when it rained stronger. We changed tents and the driving then slept in the car which was fine for him.
Really very nice modern hotel. We had rooms in building B which were super nice and large.
We stayed in little huts not the gers as the huts have bathrooms attached. This was very nice. Absolut top was the food. Very tasty.
Very well run Ger camp. Very niche staff, very good food. Nice atmosphere.
Activity Reviews
It is quite a drive to the waterfall and then yes nice to see but not spectacular.
We found it really interesting to see this and it is a nice little hike.
Very nice horse guides. They were very friendly and good people. We were only not so happy with the route they had in mind which was too close to a busy country road but they changed that after we complained. The food was nice, and they catered well for us when we decided not too eat too much meat all the time.
Really interesting to see the museum, watch the film with the history of the original excursion, and then see the cliffs
Very good modern museum
We enjoyed in particular the Chinggis Khan museum. Very well done.
Really worth the drive and the hiking.
Really super nice experience. Well organised. We had good guides and a nice cook. Great experience, but the guides shall stay away from any roads.
