Vacation rentals with breakfast in Mongolia

Sofia and her husband were so incredibly helpful for visiting Ulgii and the Golden Eagle Festival! From picking me up to the airport, to finding a SIM card and hiring a driver for the festival, Sofia was my go-to person and was always patient for a first-time visitor to Kazakh parts of Mongolia. Thanks so much and hope to visit again someday!

More than an accommodation on AirBnB, it’s a unique all-inclusive experience. Do you want to discover the remote provinces of Mongolia and the life of the nomads? Enkhbayar is the right person for you. I spent a month alone with him, here is my feedback: 1- Why do you need a guide? Impossible to travel very far from the capital without a guide: chaotic roads (huge holes, mud, rivers...), extremely difficult driving (expect breakdown, puncture), no signs (even the locals get lost), complicated communication (no English speakers). Enkhbayar speaks quite good English, knows the north-west of Mongolia perfectly, and is an outstanding driver! Note: I wanted to go to the summer camp to document the nomadic life of reindeer herders, but if the journey is too long for you, Enkhbayar is very flexible and can take you wherever you want. He has different offers (1 day, 3 days, one week, etc.) and knows a lot of herders if you need (cows, horses, sheep, and even camels). 2- My stay in Mongolia with Enkhbayar Arrival in Ulan-Bator on 12/07, Enkhbayar came to pick me up at the airport at 6am. Departure for the reindeers camp the next morning. 5 days of travel (40h to 50h depending on the weather) to Tsagaannuur, magnificent landscapes, then horseback riding for 10 hours to reach the camp which is a few kilometres from the Russian border. I had never ridden a horse before (it went quite well despite some aches and pains; note that this last stage is psychologically/physically difficult - you can do it in 2 days by sleeping in a tent). Note: for the reindeers camp, it’s also possible to get a flight for Hovsgol, in order to avoid 2 or 3 days in car. Life in the camp Travelling alone, I slept in Enkhbayar's tipi with his wife and son. I was offered a private tipi but we were already getting on very well so we tipi-shared. They cooked every morning, lunchtime, evening. A few years ago they had a restaurant so they make very good food! Meat, noodles, soups, ravioli, bread, reindeer butter, reindeer milk... Staying several weeks I was able to sympathize with some nomads of the camp. To have a real discussion with them, I had to go through the translation of Enkhbayar. I can't describe in a few lines all the richness of this culture. Their hospitality and generosity is incredible; all the people in the camp are extremely kind. Tsattan and shamanism These people are called Tsattan because they are reindeer herders. Most of them are Buddhists and also follow the principles of shamanism. Enkhbayar's wife is a shaman. Respect their traditions and the rules that follow and you will have very good memories. The shamans in this camp do not use drugs or alcohol, so don't worry. Just make sure you don't take photos, videos or record sounds during the rituals (which are very occasional). The return The return journey also went very well. It is still a very long trip (count 6 days from the camp to Ulaanbaatar in order to have the possibility to have some breaks). If these few lines have made you want to visit Mongolia, I invite you to contact Enkhbayar. You can also contact me through him.

Our stay in Dalanzadgad and the Gobi Tours we did with the hosts has been an amazing experience. They took good great care of us and we can only recommend to do the tours. We stayed in the accomodation in the Center of Dalanzadgad due to the cold weather conditions. The place is well equipped and very centrally located.

Excellent host, lovely kind, generous. Recommend this abode to anyone and everyone

Boogi is very friendly and accommodating. Her apartment is conveniently located near the airport, so it is perfect for transitting in or out of the international airport without having to drive all the way into Ulaanbaatar. The place is clean and comfortable and only 15 minutes from the airport.

Great location! Pyerizat was able to accommodate our changing requirements and check in time which ended up being much later than planned as we were returning from Tavan Bogd and were in desperate need of a shower and a bed. Pyerizat was super accessible via email or WhatsApp and provided plenty of guidance along the way.

Good place to stay for travellers, as Tsegii is also working as a guide, be sure to get all tips and information about UB and the fantastic country.

We were so much help while in Ulaanbaatar. It was a great choice because it was right near the airport, so I had to go out to the airport again the next morning. After this, I came back to Ulaanbaatar and stayed in another hotel, but they gave me a lot of travel information and even picked me up to the airport. Thank you to the host.
