This trip was just a great experience for me and my girlfriend. We travelled with Zendmen travel last summer with two trips. One of them was 9 days Gobi tour and other was Naadam festival day trip. Both trip was unbelievable.
Naadam is such great must-visit festival. Heard about Naadam festival from friend before but experiencing a horse racing and opening ceremony was even better than I expected.
Zendmen took care of us just right, definitely recommend them.
