  This was a very authentic rural Mongolian experience. There was no running water, and the accommodations were much more rugged than I expected. We ended up sharing a yurt with another couple, which made for a pretty tight living space, so be prepared.That said, once I adjusted my expectations, I really enjoyed it. We rode horses, attended a traditional Mongolian festival, played the bone game, and tried so many delicious local foods. The animals were adorable. There were sheep, cows, horses, and chickens all around, which really added to the experience. The pickup and coordination were very simple and well organized. One thing to keep in mind is that getting there involves a 9-hour train ride each way from Ulaanbaatar, so two days of your trip will be spent traveling. Overall, this isn’t a luxury experience it’s a true taste of rural Mongolian Nomadic life. It was definitely rough at times, but once I got used to it, I found it to be a really unique and memorable adventure

  ★★★★★ 忘れられない、本物のモンゴル体験 これまでさまざまな国を旅してきましたが、このホームステイは間違いなく最も印象に残る体験のひとつでした。 正直なところ、予約したときは少し不安もありました。ウランバートルから約300km離れた場所で、初めて会う遊牧民のご家族のもとへ向かうのですから当然です。しかし、その不安は到着してすぐに消えました。 ホストファミリーは本当に温かく、優しい人たちです。 愛情深いお父さん、しっかり者のお母さん、英語がとても上手で知的な娘さん、そして親戚の子どもたち。皆が自然体で迎えてくれ、「お客さん」ではなく家族の一員として受け入れてくれたように感じました。 この体験の魅力は、観光ではなく「暮らし」を体験できることです。 馬に乗る。 牛の乳を搾る。 子羊にミルクをあげる。 薪を集めて割る。 草原をバイクで走る。 家族と食卓を囲み、お酒を酌み交わす。 どれも観光客向けに作られたアクティビティというより、彼らの日常そのものでした。 特に印象的だったのは、家族同士の関係です。 子どもたちは驚くほど働き者で、大人たちは互いを自然に支え合っています。豪華な暮らしではありません。しかし、その中にある温かさや信頼関係は、とても豊かでした。 モンゴルの大草原はもちろん美しいのですが、私が持ち帰ったのは景色以上のものでした。 「豊かさとは何か」 「幸せとは何か」 「家族や共同体とは何か」 そんなことを自然に考えさせられる旅でした。 もちろん快適なホテルのような設備はありません。トイレは簡易的な屋外施設で、シャワーもありません。雨の日はかなり寒くなることもあります。 それでも、不思議なことに数日後にはそれらがほとんど気にならなくなります。そして、自分が思っていたよりずっと多くのことに適応できることに気づかされます。 モンゴル文化に興味がある方はもちろん、単なる観光以上の体験を求めている方、自分自身の価値観を見つめ直したい方には心からおすすめします。 これは「ゲルに泊まるツアー」ではありません。 人々の暮らしに触れ、人間らしさを思い出す旅でした。 --- ★★★★★ An unforgettable and deeply authentic Mongolian experience I've traveled to many countries, but this homestay was without question one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. To be honest, I felt a little nervous before the trip. The family lives roughly 300 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar, and I was heading into the Mongolian countryside to stay with people I had never met before. Looking back, those worries disappeared almost immediately after I arrived. The host family is extraordinary. The father is warm and kind, the mother is strong and caring, the daughter is highly intelligent and speaks excellent English, and the extended family members are equally welcoming. From the very beginning, I felt less like a guest and more like a member of the family. What makes this experience special is that it isn't really tourism—it's an opportunity to participate in everyday life. Riding horses. Milking cows. Feeding baby lambs. Collecting and splitting firewood. Riding motorcycles across the open steppe. Sharing meals and drinks with the family. None of it felt staged or designed for tourists. These were simply parts of their daily lives, and they generously invited us to take part. One of the most moving aspects of the experience was watching the family interact with one another. The children are remarkably hardworking, and the adults support each other with a quiet sense of responsibility and care. Their lifestyle is not luxurious, but the warmth, trust, and sense of community they share felt incredibly rich. The Mongolian steppe itself is breathtaking, but what I brought home was much more than beautiful photographs. This journey naturally led me to reflect on deeper questions: What does it mean to live well? What does happiness really look like? What can we learn from strong families and communities? This experience offered no easy answers, but it gave me a rare opportunity to think about those questions in a meaningful way. Travelers looking for luxury should be aware that conditions are simple. The toilet is an outdoor facility, there is no shower, and weather can be surprisingly cold even in June. Yet strangely, after a day or two, those inconveniences begin to feel unimportant. In fact, realizing how little you truly need may become one of the most valuable lessons of the trip. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone interested in Mongolian culture, meaningful travel, or simply seeing the world from a different perspective. This is not just a tour where you stay in a ger. It is an opportunity to be welcomed into a family's life and to rediscover something deeply human.

  The whole family was cheerful, warm, and very kind, and they paid attention to every detail. The horseback riding and daily-life experiences felt less like a standard tour and more like spending a summer holiday at a relative’s home. It was very relaxing and welcoming. (JP) ご家族みなさんが明るく朗らかで、とても優しく、細かなところまで気を配ってくださいました。乗馬や日々の暮らしの体験は、一般的な旅行やツアーというより、夏休みに親戚の家を訪ねたような感覚で、とてもリラックスして過ごせました。 受け身で案内を待つだけでなく、こちらから質問したり、やってみたいことを伝えたりすると、より深く楽しめる体験だと思います。とても温かく、印象に残る時間でした。

  Our homestay in Mongolia was an unforgettable experience. Me and my friends were welcomed by the family as if we were their own, and their warmth and kindness made us feel at home from the very first moment. Sharing their daily life and culture was incredibly special and something we’ll never forget. Thank you for your generosity, hospitality, and for creating memories that will stay with us forever. We will miss them dearly and are so grateful for the fun we had together. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mongolia.

  First and foremost, I should be honest. Before this trip, I knew very little about Mongolia. One day, the thought of going there simply crossed my mind, without any particular reason. I had so many worries. More than anything, this was my first trip to a country where I truly couldn't communicate in the language at all, and since I had no local friends to turn to, I had absolutely no idea how to even begin planning the journey. That's why I was excited, and that's exactly why I was anxious. But by some stroke of luck, I came across the 4 Day Nomadic Life Experience in Northern Mongolia on this website, and I can say without hesitation that it was the wisest decision I made for this entire trip. There's a saying in my country: "Every citizen is, to a foreigner, no different from a diplomat." Borrowing those words, Badartugs, the host and guide of this experience, was exactly that: a remarkable diplomat who showed me just how beautiful, warm, and abundantly blessed her homeland truly is. Let me say this in advance: if this is your first time visiting Mongolia, especially if you're someone accustomed to city life, there will be moments of unfamiliarity. Even I, having spent much of my childhood in the countryside, felt out of place at first. I mention this simply to be upfront: this trip is not a flawless, perfectly polished experience. And yet, Mongolia is beautiful. And Badartugs translated that beauty into the language of her life and her family's, and shared it with me, a stranger passing through. Three nights, four days. With travel time on the train set aside, it amounted to roughly three days, and in that short time, I took in countless wildflowers and open plains, and the equally beautiful warmth of the people I met. Just as each of you reading this has lived a different life, what I saw and learned will surely differ from what you'll come to experience. - On the train, I spent eight hours talking with students celebrating their graduation, and came to understand that youth everywhere, regardless of nationality, wanders, clashes with itself, and shines because of it. - I witnessed a sun that refused to set even at ten in the evening, and watched the sky transition into a bluish dusk as the light slowly faded. Then, in the early hours of dawn, I stood for a long while beneath a sky shared with a rising moon and wildflowers whose names I didn't know. - For the first time since becoming an adult, I communicated entirely through gesture, without any shared language. I had expected it to feel uncomfortable, even frightening, but the absence of words made me pay closer attention to their smiles and expressions, and because of that, I found myself even closer to the kindness and warmth of their hearts. It wasn't a perfect trip. But that, I think, is precisely what made it beautiful, much like a life in which each person carries their own meaning. - I still think of her cousins, who stayed up with me through the night playing board games. - And I can't help but feel a small pang of regret over the casual goodbye I exchanged with her cousin sister, not knowing, in that moment, that it was the last. - I still carry the memory of rushing out early in the morning after the rain to bring in the laundry, chasing after an escaped chick alongside Badartugs' mother, and then somehow finding ourselves frying fish together before long. - Because Badartugs' father, with his clear, bright eyes, pointed out the stars of the Big Dipper to me, those stars are now mine to pass on to someone else. There will no doubt be moments that feel difficult or unfamiliar. For that reason, I can't say with certainty that this trip will leave every traveler 100% satisfied. But for me, it was a 101% experience: 100% satisfaction, and 1% the joy of unexpected fortune, all contained within four days and three nights. If you can approach others with respect, withhold judgment toward the unfamiliar, and receive the warmth of people's hearts with gratitude, then I believe this journey is the finest guide there is to truly understanding Mongolia. Rather than reading this review and expecting to find the same things I did, I hope you'll look forward to the encounters and blessings that await you in your own Mongolian journey. And if you take a little time to learn some basic courtesy and etiquette beforehand, that alone will be enough to make for a wonderful trip. As a rather clumsy outsider, there was so much I lacked and so much I had yet to learn. I hope this small piece of writing can serve, in some way, as an expression of gratitude, to Mongolia, to Badartugs, and to her entire family. Thank you, truly. If the opportunity ever comes again, I hope I'll be able to say hello once more.

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Wonderful trip to embrace the nature

  This is truly an amazing trip! From the moment I boarded the train from Ulaanbaatar to Shaamar soum, Tugsuu was welcoming, patient, and deeply knowledgeable. Not only she just translate but also shared stories of nomadic traditions, taught us how to milk cows and ride horses . When we rode horses or explored Sukhanii Hutul, she took a lot of amazing photos and we even wore traditional Mongolian customs while riding the horse! Her English was clear and her family offer us with great hospiltality! Just authentic connection with the nature. If you wanna escape a little bit from the urban , this is the trip you want!

  Thank you for organizing such a wonderful tour. I was helped by a friendly tour guide and a nomadic family, which gave me a valuable experience. The food was great and I didn't feel any inconvenience during my stay. On the first day, you will travel during the day to see various views of Mongolia, and on the way back you will take a sleeper train, which allows for an efficient trip. Please try different things on this tour and make it a great trip!

  This is a homestay-style tour organized not by a company, but by an individual and their family. Therefore, if you let them know what kind of experience you’re looking for—either in advance or during your stay—they should be able to accommodate your requests with a fair amount of flexibility. I was able to enjoy the tranquil natural scenery of northern Mongolia and the warm hospitality of the family. The host is fluent in English, so as long as you can speak English, you shouldn’t have any trouble communicating.

• A dense and wonderful experience!

  The first and last days are mostly mobile, so it's actually the second and third days when you're most active, but it's a fulfilling experience! Nature, cows and horses. The rice is delicious, and living in a gel is a valuable experience. Please try to go there!!!
