Praying Lama Rock/Old Man Reading a Book: This intriguing rock formation is another fascinating stop along your journey. Its unique shape resembles an old man reading, adding a layer of cultural storytelling to your experience.

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.
