Wonderful day in the national park
Excellent knowledgeable guide - Soe - with superb English and having been brought up in a nomadic family she could relate many authentic experiences, the trip was many hours longer than planned as they wanted us to maximize the experience in the national park and see herds of Przewalski’s horses - which we did. Minibus driver also very good and pleasant. Strongly recommend this company - book direct with them like I did

Outstanding tour!! Highly recommend!!
The best cultural experience tour I have ever been on, and I have traveled to almost 90 countries. The Mongolian people were enthusiastic and joyful in explaining to everyone aspects of nomadic Mongolian culture. The musical concert was particularly outstanding (I bought a CD afterwards). My guide was excellent in explaining what was happening so I could easily understand. The arts and crafts shop had outstanding artifacts, souvenirs, and art work for sale at reasonable prices. Much better than anywhere in Ulaanbaatar. The lunch buffet with lamb mutton was delicious and individually prepared for each table; not the usual lukewarm bland buffet usually provided on these type of tours.

Dream destination unlocked!
What an amazing experience! This was a simpler, raw experience, full of discovery and fun. We got to see the rare wild horse in its natural habitat, learn a bit about the history of Mongolia, past and modern, taste local dishes and drinks, mount up on a camel and a yak! In addition, got silly with traditional games dating way back before electricity and even got a short driving tour of Ulaanbataar. All with a freedom from following a dozen or more others, and enjoying a relaxed schedule. The guide spoke perfect English and communication was not a problem at all. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip with us. Thank you as well for sharing the wonderful photos from the sky. They will always remain special memories for us, and we will always wish you safe journeys and smooth landings wherever your adventures take you. Thank you again for traveling with us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! Warm regards, Meet Mongolia Team

Great day tour!
Enjoyed a lot the day tour. Nomadic camp is not far from UB in a beautiful spot. Their put nomadic cultural exhibition and show were authentic and interesting. The food was excellent. It was only 1h to reach out Hustai national park. I was guided to see the wild horses at clawn or dusk, but luckily I saw them not far from the entrance. Also there were number of marmots along the way roaming. Thanks to the good organisation, helpful driver and knowledgeable guide, I really had a great day trip. Would highly recommend this tour!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $240 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 Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full 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 Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full 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.
What is included in Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour?
+
Included: Bottled water; Lunch; English and other speaking Guided service; anding and/or facility fees; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Visa; and Flight tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 11 listed pickup locations in and around Ulaanbaatar. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mongol Nomadic & Khustai National Park Private Full Day Tour?
+
