What Mongolian Tours Can Offer You

By Lela Perkins


Most people would not choose Mongolia as a holiday destination if given a choice. It's situated somewhere between China and Russia and is dwarfed by both of these countries. However, Mongolia has plenty to offer the traveler and those that choose Mongolian tours have everything planned beforehand, so you can just turn up and let the tour company do the work.

The area is known for its natural beauty and for the harsh nature of its climate. They have a nomadic heritage that spans thousands of years, when tribesman, as part of their culture and tradition, would cross the hot dry desert. Tours of the area will obviously not involve a long try across arid land, but they could involve a certain amount of trekking and camel rides.

Whether you like to take it easy and relax when you're on holiday, or if you're more active, Mongolia has something for everyone. If you want to lounge around then you can put your feet up in the hotel or relax in the hot springs. Those who want to be out and about can get involved in a little kayaking, trekking across the mountains or even do a trek in the desert.

try to pick a tour company that is able to create an itinerary for you to follow. If you have booked with an operator that does not do this then you'll have to find a separate company that can arrange tours on your behalf. Examples of the types of tour usually on offer are the jeep tours, which mainly is confined to the roads, and the Trans-Siberian tour.

The better tour companies can plan your stay from the time you arrive until the moment you leave. All you need to do is inform them when you're arriving in Mongolia and when you're leaving and you can leave the rest up to them. For people who are disorganized, or unsure of what they wish to do, this might be the best option. Generally, if you have these services, all meals are paid for and all tour guides and drivers are paid for too.

Travelling to Mongolia is best done by air if you do not live in China. Those living in China can take the Trans-Siberian Railway from Beijing, or take a plane and fly to Ulaanbaatar. If you live in Russia, Berlin and Seoul you can take a direct flight to Mongolia.

Any trip to Mongolia is not complete without visiting the Gobi Desert. Tours from here usually start off in Ulaanbaatar, with visits to the many small towns en-route to the Gobi Desert. Along the way you'll find out from guides all about the history of Mongolia, which includes the legacy of Genghis Khan.

Mongolian tours offer a variety that many other destinations would be envious of. You can travel through the Gobi Desert and spend a night or two with some of the nomad tribes. You can visit some of the famed national parks and camp under the stars. For those not really up to doing very much you can do a little horse riding or see the flaming cliffs located in Yolyn Am.
