The BEST tour guide and more!
We had the BEST tour guide, we call hiim AO. He is most patient, accommodating, kind, knowledgeable tour guide. I had encountered a problem with my luggage at the airport and he went beyond his duty to help me out. Everything on the itinerary was rendered with excellence.

Great guide & driver! Here’s a review of my three day trip: Day One: 7 of us with a tour guide and a driver in a van. Every seat was taken, and it felt very crowded. We drove two hours to lunch (Mandal Restaurant near Lun) and chose what we wanted to eat at a roadside stop. We then kept driving two more hours to the Semi-Gobi desert. It had rained too much for us to ride camels today; it was too muddy. We kept driving for another hour. We arrived to Kharakorin and went to a calligraphy museum. We got to try writing in the ancient script. There were multiple gers with art exhibits that we walked through. We then drove to camp, which was very close. The four girls on the tour stayed in one ger and the three boys stayed in a separate ger. We had an hour before dinner was served at 7:30. There was a show with instruments and throat singing offered at 9:00 for $10. The shower was very cold, and there was one hair dryer available. Day two: breakfast at 8:00 and leave camp at 9:00. We drove to the Kharakorin museum and had a museum tour guide who guided us through the indoor museum. The ger behind the museum housed toys and games along with horse milk & cheese for us to try. We then drove to Erdene Zuu Monastery for a tour. Next, we got to wear costumes and take pictures around the gate and the inside of the Monastery. Next up was lunch. There were lots of options to choose from. We were there for over 2 hours. It took about 45 min for our food to arrive, and then we saw and waited for a long time after lunch. I’m not sure what we were waiting for. Water is not provided on the tour, so we stopped to go shopping at a grocery store before heading towards the semi Gobi. The drive was around an hour, and when we arrived, we rode camels. The ride was mostly outside the sand dune area; we entered the sandy area to take a picture and then turned around. We were not given any time to walk around or explore the semi Gobi. We then drove to our camp site for the night, which was about 10k away into the wilderness. The location was so beautiful and peaceful. We had some free time to walk around, and some of us decided to climb up the mountain nearby. We then had 30-minute horse rides around the mountain before dinner was served. It was a soup with noodles, vegetables, and mutton. Day three: breakfast at the campsite at 8:00. Breads, jam, fresh cream, and eggs. Depart at 9:00 for Erdene Khamba Monastery. After our tour, we drove to a roadside stop to buy water and use a toilet. Then we drove for over 2 hours to lunch. Unfortunately, it was the same lunch stop that we stopped at on the way out of town. It has lots of options, but if given the choice, I would have preferred to go somewhere else. What would have made this tour five stars: 1. At least an hour of free time in Kharakorin. There were shops set up near the museum, but we weren’t given time to look at them at all. Our lunch took way longer than necessary. We could have spent less time at lunch and had free time in the shops. We didn’t have an opportunity on the tour for shopping at all - other than at grocery stores to purchase water. 2. At least an hour free time in the semi Gobi desert. I saw pictures from other tourists on the same trip in the desert. My group was given no time in the desert, which was disappointing. 3. Not repeating lunch stop locations. We ate at the same place twice. There were many other options that we drove by, but it seemed like the location we ate at had many tourists and took a long time. The food was also not great. Overall, I don’t know how I could have done this trip differently unless I rented a car. It was good, but I do not plan to recommend it to my friends.

From Ulaanbaatar Central Mongolia Guided 3 Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does From Ulaanbaatar Central Mongolia Guided 3 Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $390 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 From Ulaanbaatar Central Mongolia Guided 3 Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 From Ulaanbaatar Central Mongolia Guided 3 Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ulaanbaatar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Ulaanbaatar Central Mongolia Guided 3 Day Tour?
+
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 From Ulaanbaatar Central Mongolia Guided 3 Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Ulaanbaatar Central Mongolia Guided 3 Day Tour?
+
Around 5 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Ulaanbaatar Central Mongolia Guided 3 Day Tour 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.
