Going over the sand dunes and staying in gers or in tents in what seemed to be in the middle of nowhere and then a herd of goats and sheep comes along.

Climbing the 'Singing Sand Dunes' (Khongoryn Els) at sunset was amazing! It was a big effort to make it to the top, but we were rewarded with once-in-a lifetime views over the vast sand dunes and Gobi Desert while mother nature turned on a spectacular pink and purple hue. (more)Lynette Smith

The people are fantastic, so cheerful and helpful and in some areas foreigners are a bit of a novelty - we were asked to pose for photos quite often. Culturally the place is very diverse and different; the history of the various peoples is very interesting and although there are Buddhist pagodas and stupas all over the country there are many variations.

It was a perfect vacation... The lodging was excellent nestled in greens with lots of hiking and biking trails to choose from, all meticulously planned out by the owner Peter. Food was superb, prepared by Carolyn, Peter’s wife who ran the place immaculately.

Memorable parts?
The whole vacation was memorable and thank you for introducing us to the tour operator. They did a suburb job of given us a fantastic vacation at an affordable price in a very short timescale.
Tips?
You don't have to worry about tipping. If you want to tip tip in small dollar bills. 3000 dongs are equivalent to about £1.00 so if you are using local currency you will need a fast amount of notes as they don't have coins in their currency.
Local benefits?
Yes

easy and comfortable but embrace it anyway and you will have a truly
memorable trip.Also, you may want to book a couple of extra nights in Ulaanbaatar so you can explore the city and outskirts a bit more.

Change from a standard car especially if you are small India was very disappointing with this operator.

This was an enjoyable vacation throughout with lovely cycling routes and friendly people. The first hotel (b&b) was wonderful and particularly memorable -
owned by a surrealist artist the gardens and building were inspiring. Christina made great breakfasts and we had picnic evening meals with supplies we
bought from the local supermarket rather than going to restaurants, as we wanted to spend our time enjoying the art and atmosphere. We were made to feel
very welcome by... (more)Michael Foley
