Terelj: ¡Galopa la Estepa Salvaje, Vive Mongolia a Caballo!

This wasn’t worth the money I paid for it and I can’t recommend it to others. I should have bought one of the cheaper packages from another tour company, but this one had glowing reviews. Although she was very sweet, the tour guide was very quiet and didn’t offer me a lot of guidance throughout my tour. When I asked about the turtle statue that’s supposed to be near Kharkhorin, the tour guide exclaimed that it was near the museum and “didn’t I see it?!” But she never pointed it out to me, and I wish she had. They did then drive me up to the top of the mountain to see one of the other ones. The next day at the Semi-Ghobi I was put on a camel and a man walked me to the first sand dune, took a photo of me, and then turned around- a whole 5 minute excursion. The tour guide argued with him about this, but he refused to take me out again and in the end the driver of the tour then took the camel and walked me around the sand dunes for awhile. The whole time I felt a little disappointed however at how little guidance I was given throughout my tour. I spent a lot of time listening to other tour guides, rather than the one I paid. It was really awkward.

I had an excellent time on this two day tour to Central Mongolia. Great to get out of the city and see Mongolia’s incredibly beautiful countryside. The roads are pretty bumpy, but our amazing driver did a great job of avoiding the major potholes. Jagaa was an exceptional guide. He has a fantastic knowledge of his country and his English was excellent. We were able to discuss all sorts of topics. He was flexible and accommodating, with great written communication before I arrived in Mongolia. The night in the yurt was comfortable and really warm. Shared bathroom facilities, but luckily a modern toilet. Phew! I would highly recommend this tour to anybody travelling solo. At all times I felt safe and well cared for, despite being the only person on the tour, and heading off into the Mongolian wilderness. A beautiful country to explore, and the guys at Danista Nomads Tours made that all possible. 🙏

Great trip to Kharkhoren at the end of a business visit to Mongolia, provided by Danista Nomads. The team of Saruul (guide) and Pugi (driver) were great - very cheerful throughout 800 km driving in 2 days. Saruul gave us some information, but not too much - she was well informed about history/culture, maybe a bit less so about wildlife. It was a pleasure to spend a couple of days with them. They were flexible about including a small extra visit to another location that I wanted to see. The only downside of this particular trip is that there's a lot of driving, but that's Mongolia for you. It's a big old country. We knew what to expect, and the views throughout the drive to Kharkhoren and back were always interesting. One other note - Jagaa kindly highlighted how we could save some money on our booking, which was much appreciated. Mongolia is a great country to visit, and thank you to Danista Nomads.

兩天的行程過得很快樂，有迷人的沙漠和草原景色，也有了解蒙古文化宗教的機會。導遊英文十分流利，用心講解景點，也照顧團友的休息時間。蒙古包的選址接近隔天的景點，晚上滿天星星甚美。 雖然兩天都有接近半天的趕路時間，但不覺得太辛苦，導遊和司機基本上照顧了購票、膳食等細節。行程後導遊確認了我們成功入住後來的飯店才離開，十分貼心。
