    11 Things to do in Ulaanbaatar: From Cultural Sites to Shopping

    November 30, 2024 /

    When visiting Mongolia, most people tend to leave Ulaanbaatar for tours to Central Mongolia or the Gobi Desert. You never really hear anything related to Ulaanbaatar outside maybe Naadam, the huge festival that takes place every year. We spent two full days in Ulaanbaatar. I say we scratched the surface. We didn’t get to all the museums I wanted to visit or other attractions but we really enjoyed exploring this city. I want to share some of my recommended things to do in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.  **This post contains affiliate links.

    5 Day Central Mongolia Tour: Itinerary, Sites, & Expectations

    November 24, 2024 /

    Central Mongolia is a region full of beautiful landscapes, rich history, and it’s own unique cultures. From visiting Terelj National Park to the ancient capital of Kharkhorin and the Orkhon Valley, there is so much to see and do. Experiences include staying in yurts with nomadic families, riding horses and camels, visiting monasteries and temples, and sampling local food from mutton to yak. A Central Mongolian tour offers an immersive experience and deep dive into the “Real Mongolia.” If you have a week or longer in Mongolia, I highly recommend getting outside of Ulaanbaatar and exploring Central Mongolia.  **This post contains affiliate links.

    Located in Mongolia’s central region is the Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape. Listed as one of Mongolia’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Orkhon Valley has a surprisingly rich history, is home to the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire, and has stunning natural beauty. There are archaeological sites scattered throughout the region, cultural landmarks, and beautiful nature areas that make the Orkhon Valley worth visiting. Visiting the Orkhon Valley can be done as a day trip from Ulaanbaatar or over several days. Join me and learn about some of the must-see sites around the Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape.  **This post contains affiliate links. If you click on one of the links…

    Are you traveling to Mongolia and wondering what to pack for your trip? Or how to prepare for a trip to Mongolia?

    Staying in a Yurt (Ger) in Mongolia: What it’s like & What to Expect

    October 30, 2024 /

    Have you ever wondered what staying in a yurt is like? I grew up dreaming about it. Staying the night in a yurt has always been a travel bucket list dream of mine. I just love the idea of being in rural Mongolia living a nomadic lifestyle even if its only for a day or two. I finally got the chance to stay in not one but four different yurts while visiting Mongolia and want to share my experiences of staying in yurts, what its like, and what to expect.  **This post contains affiliate links.
