Tucked up in the northernmost corner of Asia and cocooned by the highlands of China and the Siberian plains of Russia, Mongolia has always embodied a sense of intrigue. Here is a place where no matter where you go, you are guaranteed to be off-the-beaten-track as you venture into places so remote that even Google can’t find them. A tailor-made holiday in Mongolia is the ultimate reset.
Nestled, without ocean border, between Russia and China, this vast and sparsely populated country – of Genghis Khan’s 1206 Mongol Empire and the post-1921 autonomy stewarded by Damdin Sukhbaatar – has, since 1990, opened its doors to inquisitive travellers who come in search of its dramatic landscapes, authentic culture, and vibrant capital city, Ulaanbaatar. From Khoomei (traditional throat singing) and the unexpected combination of bay leaves and cardamom in its slow-grilled meats, to the rolling steppe and the Siberian cedars that crest its sombre mountains, Mongolia is excitingly poised between worlds and cultures.
Mongolia can seem perplexing, and wild, and beautifully different to those visiting the first – or even third, or fifth – time. Its culture is patient, yet marked by the differing cultural eras that have swept over its lands. This is why its mesmerising capital features everything from Yurts and temples to communist-era statues. Private tours are the best way to experience Mongolia, where you can wander the amazing galleries and museums of its Baga Toirog district, or sample a mixture of its unknown Altai restaurants and exceptional North Indian cuisine. The design cues can tend toward the opulent, with curtains, gold and wall-hangings setting the scene for an unforgettable meal.
On our immersive holidays to Mongolia, your stay can range from luxury hotels with ultra-modern conveniences to traditional yurts studded on the rolling steppe, or overlooking the stately bulk of the country’s Altai mountains. Ever popular is Ulaanbaatar’s Shangri-La, located right in the centre of this thriving city. Blending contemporary chic with Mongolian panache, your room may overlook the impressive Sükhbaatar Square itself.
For honeymoons in Mongolia – not, admittedly, the first and most obvious choice – there are a surprising number of ways to have it your own way, ditching the sugar-white beaches and palm fronds for eagle adventures with nomads and stirring horse rides into the foothills of the awe-inspiring Altai mountains.
The Gobi Desert
One of the world’s great wildernesses, stretching 1,500 miles across southern Mongolia.
The Gobi is not the endless sea of dunes most people picture. It is a landscape of dramatic contrasts: the singing sands of Khongoryn Els, the red sandstone formations of Bayanzag where dinosaur fossils still surface from the earth, and ice canyons that persist through summer inside Yolyn Am National Park. We’ll place you in camps that feel like outposts at the edge of everything, with Mongolian palaeontologists and expert local guides to open up a landscape that rewards those who go slowly.
The Altai Mountains & Eagle Hunters
The wild west of Mongolia, where the Kazakh tradition of hunting with golden eagles is still very much alive.
In the remote Bayan-Ölgii region close to the Russian and Kazakh borders, the mountainous landscape is home to communities whose way of life has changed little over centuries. Eagle hunters and their birds have an intimate relationship built over twenty years of trust. We’ll place you with one of the most experienced hunters in the region — spending time on horseback in the foothills of the Altai, learning the techniques, and witnessing the hunts against a backdrop of snowcapped mountains and glaciers. Few experiences anywhere in the world compare to it.
The Taiga & Lake Khövsgöl
The northernmost reaches of Mongolia, where the Tsaatan people have herded reindeer for generations.
The Mongolian Taiga is a world of rolling mountains, forested valleys, and vast tundra bordering Siberia. The Tsaatan — Mongolia’s last reindeer-herding nomads — make this extreme environment their home and will welcome you into their community with characteristic warmth. Lake Khövsgöl, the country’s largest freshwater lake, freezes to crystalline ice in winter and hosts a festival of horse-drawn sleigh races, ice sumo, and traditional games directly on its surface. In summer the lake turns deep cobalt blue beneath a wide Mongolian sky.

Terelj Hotel, Mongolia
Get in touch
Luxury Mongolia holidays start from around $5,450 per person for a seven-night itinerary combining Ulaanbaatar with the Altai Mountains and an eagle hunter experience. A more comprehensive nine to ten-night trip covering the Gobi Desert, Terelj National Park, and a nomadic family stay typically falls between $6,300 and £6,000 per person. The 18-night nomadic skiing and Taiga adventure — one of our most extraordinary Mongolia itineraries — runs from $11,000 per person. Cost reflects the remoteness of the destination and the quality of expert local guides, private transfers, and camp accommodation rather than luxury hotels as such. Mongolia is a destination where the experience is the luxury. We price every holiday individually and there are no planning fees.
Mongolia has two very distinct travel seasons and the best time depends entirely on what you want to do. Summer (June to August) is the classic season — the steppe turns green, temperatures are comfortable, and the Naadam festival of nomadic games takes place in July. This is the best window for the Gobi Desert, Terelj National Park, and horseback riding. Winter (November to March) is extreme — temperatures drop to -30°C in places — but opens up experiences that are impossible at any other time: the nomadic skiing journey through the Taiga, the Tsaatan reindeer herder communities, and the ice festival on Lake Khövsgöl. We have deep experience of both seasons and will help you time your trip around the experiences that matter most to you.
A ger — the traditional Mongolian circular felt tent — is the standard accommodation across most of the country outside Ulaanbaatar, and one of the most memorable parts of any Mongolia trip. On our itineraries, ger camps range from basic but comfortable nomadic family stays to more developed eco-camps with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, and wood-burning stoves. The experience of sleeping in a ger, waking to an enormous sky, and stepping outside to a landscape with no other sign of human life is something that stays with people long after the trip ends. We’ll always tell you exactly what to expect at each camp so nothing comes as a surprise.
Mongolia is an unconventional honeymoon choice that tends to produce the most memorable ones. If you and your partner are drawn to wild landscapes, genuine remoteness, and experiences you cannot have anywhere else — rather than white sand beaches and pool villas — Mongolia delivers it in abundance. Eagle hunts on horseback in the Altai Mountains, sleeping under the stars on the Mongolian steppe, and private ger camps with no other guests in sight create a level of intimacy and immersion that conventional honeymoon destinations rarely match. We’ll design the trip around how you want to feel, not around a template.
