Discovering Mongolia with Danista Nomads is probably the best option..
I warmly recommend Danista Nomads Tours if you want to discover Mongolia. The tour in itself is a little bit demanding and challenging as most of Mongolians roads are bumpy and not paved. Distances are considerable. Therefore get ready to spend an average of 6/7 hours per day on a sort of rollercoaster. But it definitely worths the hassle as I could enjoy my time in very beautiful and unforgettable places. I also would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to both my guide (Melodie) and driver (Puujee) for their service. Melodie is a very patient, caring and knowledgeable guide. Puujee is a nice guy who allowed us to take the needed breaks along the way. They even showed more destinations than on the itinerary. My final feedback is 5 stars. I would say 4.5 would have been the right one as some of the gers where we have been accommodated weren't really good. In some of the camps the shower didn't really work well and sometimes the yurts were too small so I bumped my head on several occasions. But the mindset is what counts the most. If you consider it as an adventorous trip, well you don't really mind about this kind of inconveniences.

Highly recommended
With a minor age child, we have had a 8-day Central Mongolia tour with no hassle at all thanks to an outstanding service from Danista Nomads Tour company. Jagaa has always been there for us besides his busy schedule to make sure that we receive a safe and quality service to meet our interest. We deeply enjoyed beautiful sceneries of wild nature, a clear image of milky ways with thousands of stars visible in naked eyes (maybe you can bring your own telescope to enjoy the night sky), a convenient transportation and most especially the thoughtfulness of these amazing guys Jagaa, Taisun and Puje. There are many more to mention. It is worth to travel with this company, therefore we highly recommend you to choose Danista Nomads Tour. Special thanks from Conor, Cyrille and Erdene!

Excellent 8-day tour with Danista Nomads
Communication with the host, Jagaa, was very easy via whatsapp. Jagaa was always prompt with his replies & could give good advice on how to plan our trip in Mongolia. We stayed at a private double room with ensuite bathroom on the first and last nights in Ulaanbaatar. Their rooms were very well-maintained, good quality bedsheets and pillows and good hot shower. Jagaa prepared breakfast for us himself. We think the room exceeded our expectations for the price paid. The staff manning the check-in counter, Amgaa, was also extremely helpful. He even lent us some local currency because that day happened to be a public holiday and he was afraid that most money exchange shops were not open. We booked a 8-day Central & Gobi Desert tour with Danista Nomads prior to our arrival at a reasonable price. Jagaa had assigned Dashka, as our driver-guide. Dashka has over 20 years of experience. He was always careful and reliable. His Toyota 4WD Landcruiser Prado was comfortable even on bumpy off road terrain and the vehicle was well-maintained throughout the 8 days of our trip. Our meals at all the ger camps were well thought of and catered to what we had asked for. We enjoyed all the stays at the ger camps and every host we met was friendly and helpful. We highly recommend staying at Danista Nomads hostel too - it has a very convenient location - an easy 15 minutes walk can bring you to the centre of attractions in Ulaanbaatar. We really love the warm hospitality given to us in Mongolia & hope to visit again in the near future!

8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does 8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia cost?
+
Prices start at $1,480 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ulaanbaatar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ulaanbaatar is not rushed.
Is 8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ulaanbaatar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ulaanbaatar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ulaanbaatar and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ulaanbaatar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ulaanbaatar?
+
On Outty we rank every Ulaanbaatar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BEST 5* Chinggis Khaan Airport UBN Ulaanbaatar Transfer Taxi 24/7, A day trip to Terelj National Park and Statue of Chinggis Khan, Genghis Khan Statue+Terelj Park+CamelRide+Eagle. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ulaanbaatar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ulaanbaatar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 64 listed pickup locations in and around Ulaanbaatar. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

+
