On my first trip to Mongolia, I participated in a two-day, one-night mini-desert tour. The trip was comfortable as it was in a private car, and it was great to be able to stop by the grasslands and nomadic yurts along the way. At night, the sky was filled with stars, and I was impressed by the sights that I would never see in Japan.

This was our first family trip to Mongolia and this tour made for some truly unforgettable memories.
 It was nice that the guide kept the kids entertained while we were traveling by private vehicle from Ulaanbaatar to the Mini Gobi Desert, and stopped every so often to take pictures.

 As soon as we arrived and saw the camels, the kids’ eyes lit up! We actually rode them and slowly walked across the desert, and the kids said, “Wow, it’s like a movie!” They ran around in the desert and watched the sunset… It was much more beautiful than the pictures.

 The ger accommodation was warmer than expected, and the barbecue dinner was prepared to suit our tastes, so the kids enjoyed it. At night, the stars poured down, so the kids even played a game of finding constellations.
 It was a 2-day, 1-night trip, but it really felt like a week-long experience. If you come as a family, you'll feel more at ease and safer than alone, so I highly recommend it!

Introduction to Key Destinations

1. Kharkhorin Wall:
Kharkhorin was the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire founded by Genghis Khan and is home to the Erdene Zuu Monastery.
The wall surrounding the monastery is 400m long and wide, with 108 stupas (stone towers) on top.

2. Erdene Zuu Monastery:
The first Lama Buddhist monastery in Mongolia, Erdene Zuu Monastery, was founded by Ogatai Khan, son of Genghis Khan, in the 13th century in Karakorum (Kharkhorin) as he expanded his territory into Europe.

3. Ger (Yurt Stay):
Mongolia has transformed from a traditional nomadic society to a society where people live in fixed houses, mainly in large cities. However, most of the residents living in the grasslands outside the capital, Ulaanbaatar, still live in gers (yurts). You can experience a ger firsthand.

4. Elsen Tasarkhai Desert:
Enjoy the Mongolian desert by riding sand sleds on the sand dunes and trekking while watching the sunset.
**Outdoor activities (camel riding, horse riding, etc.) may not be available during the cold winter months due to weather issues.**
