DAY 1 — WELCOME TO MONGOLIA
DAY 2 — SOVIET ULAN-BATOR
Dalanzadgad – Ulan Bator – Choibalsan – CHOIR – ERDENET – DARKHAN
Far from the glass-and-steel skyscrapers of modern Ulaanbaatar, tucked away off the main tourist routes across the Gobi, and beyond the hackneyed Naadam folk shows, there is a different country awaiting to be (re)discovered. Despite the shameful destruction of many Soviet-era buildings, the former Mongolian People’s Republic (Bügd Nairamdakh Mongol Ard Uls aka MPR) and its “socialism of the steppes” still live on in a vast plethora of neo-classical architectural shapes, lonely war memorials, towering apartment blocks, hidden Soviet monuments, and spectacular mosaics.
We routinely organise private Mongolia Tours, ranging from a classic Soviet weekend getaway to Ulaanbaatar to a three-week MPR-themed odyssey through the entire country. Our bespoke Soviet Tours to the bygone Mongol People’s Republic are available all year round and – depending on the amount of people joining the trip – you will be pleased to find out that prices are not much higher than our scheduled group tours.
On a private tour you have the chance to travel at your own pace, have our local guides all to yourself and do things that normally aren’t possible on group tours such as being invited over for dinner by a local Mongol family or staying overnight in a socialist-era apartment. Whether you are interested in a particular area, architectural wonder, unusual activity and/or offbeat attraction within the former MPR or simply looking for an hit-and-run visit to Dalanzadgad or Choibalsan, we will easily meet your needs with a unique tour individually designed according to your time schedule and specific preferences.
