Get involved in their daily chores as herding sheep and cattle, making dairy products for example yoghurt, cheese, clotted cream and cooking delicious meal of the day. Enjoy authentic local cuisine and drinks as airag (fermented mare’s milk), arkhi (nomads’ vodka) while playing a game of ankle bones or lending an ear to heartwarming stories.
Generally, staying two or three days at homestay is the most desired period of time to get the taste of the nomadic culture and you might be camping either in a ger next to a nomadic family or sharing the family ger – either of them will offer an intimate authentic family-stay experience.You are encouraged to bring small gifts or something practical for family kids as gift giving is customary in nomadic culture.
We do appreciate our clients for supporting nomadic families to stay in the countryside and maintain nomadic lifestyle.

We had a great time with True Mongolia Travel. What I thought was going to be a standard day tour from UB was anything but! We visited the Chinggis Kahn... read more statue and after that we went to go horseback riding. There happened to be a local party going on and they invited us to drink and play games with them. We had a great time riding horses and they did a good job of introducing my friend to riding horses since it was his first time. The rest of the day went just as well visiting the National Park and the Nomadic Family. I highly recommend this company!

Booked a 2 day ger stay and had a horse ride in Hustai National Park with a family. Pick up from where I was staying was extremely prompt. Beautiful tour... read more of the countryside, and the guide was excellent and very friendly. The coordinator, Nyamka, answered all of my questions leading up to the tour. The food during the stay was good and the host family was very kind.
I would definitely recommend a ger stay with the company to my friends and others in my network.

My friend and I, we are from Thailand did fantastic 8 day horse riding in central mongolia. We learned about them on tripadvisor and tried to find out as much... read more as possible about them as it was very important trip for us. There was not much information about them online, so first we hesitated a bit but in practice they were the best. They customized the itinerary for us and during the trip the guides were so caring and helpful. Horses were nice and calm and the guide always told us local stories which was quite interesting. Horse guide cooked the food for us, to be honest he wasn’t a good cook but we were fine. Overall, this agency is a good company to travel with, will highly recommend.

My wife went to Mongolia for work and took two day tours with Nyam suren. He picked up on time from airport and for the tours.
She... read more did the city tour and tereji tour. Both were interesting and good value for money.
She did horse riding on the tereji tour, which was good.
Happy to recommend for other travellers.
Only thing to watch for is that museum is closed on a Sunday so better to do the city tour another day.

The trip from U.B. to the Gobi and the Center up to lake Chuskul was very nicely organized by Nyamka. His English is very good. The Driver was absolutely professional... read more and took very good care of me during the whole trip. He showed me all the fascinating places of the landscape and the most interesting wildlife of Mongolia. It was an amazing experience!
I can absolutely recommend this trip and this travel agency. Next time we will book again...

Booked a 7 day gobi tour. Bagage came a day after, so we had to reschedule. That was no problem, solved our problems. Baaska (guide) and Munkhuu (driver) did not... read more only took us to the beautifull landscapes in Mongolia, but also were great company, all day long. We played cards, did karaoke, sung all day after the radio broke down. We even had the luck to experience a real mongolian birthday in one of the Gerstays! Thanks to them we had the full experience!
