6 Tage Tour: Zentralmongolei

My little family of four just came back from a life changing trip to Mongolia with Enza’s terrific company. Everything was superb. From our seamless airport pickup, to our last hugs at the departure gates. We could not have imagined it going any better. Attractions - We booked a 6 day, 5 nights private trip that included The Chinggis Khaan Statue and Terelji national park (Day 1), camel riding at the edge of the Gobi desert (Day 2), breakfast with a nomadic family (they had baby goats!), horseback riding on the afternoon at Ulaan Tsutgalal waterfalls in the spectacularly beautiful Orkon Valley (Day 3), the Buddhist shrine in the old Mongolian Capital city of Kharatorum and Eagle Holding ( Day 4), saw wild Mongolian (Przewalski) horses and Mongolian Mastiff dogs in the lovely Hustai national park (Day 5) and a had a brief stay in Ulaam baatar (Day 6). The kids and I’s favorite by far was the horses and waterfall in Orkon Valley. But please do make note of my “driving” comment below as it was the furthest flung site we visited. Accommodations - We stayed the first night in a luxury tourist yurt, the second two nights in a normal tourist yurt the fourth night back in a luxury yurt. The last night was in a four star hotel in UB, which was super spacious. The colder it is when you come to Mongolia, the more I’d recommend the luxury tourist yurt. They are equipped with either radiant floors or electric space heaters and en-suite bathrooms. Food - The food was quite amazing all four nights. We loved that everything was served warm and nothing was spicy. Which was unique for us coming from Korea! The only food that was a bit lackluster was the food in UB at the hotel. It just couldn’t compare to all of the home cooking we experienced at all the sites in the countryside. Driving - One really, REALLY important thing to understand as you plan your trip to Mongolia, is that the attractions are really, really far away from each other. We drove for at least three hours for three of the days and at least 5-6 hours for two of the days. This allows for some beautiful drive time across the county, but it was a lot more arduous than we were expecting. Especially in the super bumpy off roading terrain. Driver (Auggie) - All the bumpyness aside… the driver himself was very lovely! So happy and smiley. He was delightful as he was talented. When you are booking, I’d recommend trying to get the best car available due to the conditions of the roads… you’ll need it! Tour guide (Tumen) - In addition to our tour guide, we had an INCREDIBLE tour guide with us. Charming as he was knowledgeable, Tumon made our trip particularly memorable and particularly stress free. It’s normally hard to listen to the same person for so many days in a row… but Tumon is so well practiced… that it feels effortless. Truly one of Enza’s best assets. Enza’s (the tour company owner) - Was great with pre-trip planning… and available at all times. You can tell she loves what she does and is a very honest person. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that you are happy. We were impressed with her professionalism and kind spirit. Don’t hesitate to book either her! We hope our review has been helpful and that you enjoy your time in Mongolia. It is truly a magical place.

the 6 days have been a great experience :-)) - from pickup to drop our guide Amra and our driver Gana have been caring smoothly for our needs and preferences: We have a horse allergy and really never had any issue with it. Accommodation and Food were chosen local very tasty. This tour really goes into the countryside and showed us beyond the main roads lot’s of places we would have found and reached on our own. - Many thanks for giving us this extraordinary experience.

Excelent experience. I did the tour with Amy and Ganna during the mongolian winter. I really enjoy it, its a excelent oportunity to experiment the mongolian winter and the life of the nomads during that season. The tour includes everthing. Its a good choise to visit mongolia.
