Meet a local in Mongolia
Personal Encounters while travelling
Our Meet-a-Local activitites are especially recommended. Visit local people to share a cup of tea or even cook a meal together. You visit people in their private homes, see how they live, share their traditions, and exchange information and ideas. Or just have fun together! Eating and cooking together is one thing, but there's even more!
Take a walk through the city and see it through the eyes of a local, get to places you thought you never could visit, meet people, and smell and taste the local food during one of our street food tours.
All these meet-a-local activities are meant to give you a once-in a-lifetime experience!
Some meet-a-local activities might already be included in the tours. Missing something? You can request our local partner for more information!

MONGOLIA, HORSEBACK RIDING
To really experience life like the Mongols, the country should be explored on horseback. In various places in Mongolia we can organize a 2-3 day package where you can go horseback riding in the area. This could be at the Khovsgol Lake, Terelj Park and/or Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake. You sleep in tents which are arranged near a Mongolian family who rents horses. You ride 2-5 hours per day. You eat with the nomads and really live a few days like a nomad in the overwhelming nature of Mongolia.
