Mongolia is one of the few remaining countries on earth that is still home to truly nomadic people. The best way to experience this way of life first-hand is to stay overnight in a ger experience. You will get a true insight into the nomadic lifestyle that is, for the most part, as traditional as you might imagine. En-suite yurts have en-suite facilities. Typically, a ger hosts 4 people, however, we keep it as classic double/twin sharing with single accommodation available, please refer to the tour calculator or consult Discovery Russia travel expert to learn more.
