Private Central Mongolia Tour (5D/4N)

Day 1: Ulaanbaatar to Tsenkher Hot Springs

Your guide and driver will collect you from your Ulaanbaatar accommodation in the morning before setting out on your private journey into Central Mongolia. Leaving the capital behind, travel through increasingly remote countryside, passing open steppe, rolling hills and small rural communities as you make your way towards Tsenkher.

Along the route, stop for grocery shopping and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing deeper into the Mongolian countryside. The long overland journey offers your first real introduction to the scale and openness of Mongolia, with the landscape gradually changing as you approach the Tsenkher region.

Arrive at Tsenkher Hot Springs in the early evening and settle into your resort ger. After a full day on the road, enjoy time to relax in the natural hot springs before dinner at the resort.
