Why spend holidays in Mongolia

When choosing a holiday destination, there are a number of significant factors that you first need to take into consideration. The first of these factors is the kind of experience that you are looking for. Do you want to have fun and excitement or are you looking for peace and tranquility in a place where you can lay back and relax? The answers to these questions can lead you to some very different destinations since it is hardly likely that you will find any location that offers both. Only a place like Mongolia offers both fun and excitement.


Mongolia holidays are great solutions for both people looking for fun and adventure, as well as those looking for relaxation in a quiet and serene environment. For the first group, the tours include a number of manual activities that arouse a sense of adventure and intrigue among tourists. For instance, camel and horse riding in Mongolia are a lot of fun and is one of the most popular tourist activities in the country. Trekking is another such activity that has proved to be very popular among fun loving tourists. As for the latter group of tourists looking for peace and relaxation, Mongolia has one of the few unspoilt landscapes in the world. You can choose to go for a holiday at a quiet resort in the countryside, far away from the hustles of modern urban life and relax while enjoying nature at its best.

Wonderful trips to Mongolia

Tourists make trips to Mongolia every year to visit the rugged peaks of the Altai Mountains and the vast plains and canyons of the Gobi desert. These two are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the fun outdoor activities and the wonderful places you can go to while you are there. Just in case these areas were making you take an adventurous trip to Mongolia, you might want to add the following to your to-do list so that you experience this Asian beauty in its entire splendor.

Horse Riding

Mongolian horses are like the European pony in many ways. Their sizes range from average to petite, though what they miss in height they sufficiently make up for in strength and stamina. Mongolia horse riding is an irrevocable part of the Mongolia holidays culture, and this is evident in the numerous activities such as the annual horse racing at Naadam Festivals that are held throughout the country mainly in July and August. The population is also low, making it possible for horse riding to be as fun as it should be since you get exposed to wide expanses of land.

HovsgolNuur

This is the largest fresh water lake in Mongolia, and it is a wonderful sight to behold. Its surreal beauty and clear waters make the area look like a haven of peace. Ride horsesalong the lakeshore and trek inland through pristine larch forests – camping overnight under starry skies in the wilderness. Enjoy the comfort of gers at a lakeside eco-camp at the start and end of your Mongolian journey.

In addition to horseback riding and viewing the serene beauty of HovsgolNuur, you can also go walking amongst the hills ofKhentiNuruu.
