For the adventurous, Mongolia is undoubtedly an attractive destination. But you don’t have to be an experienced backpacker to experience what the country has to offer fully. For those who want all the sights and experiences and none of the challenges, joining a traveling group is a great alternative. Let’s have a look at the perks of joining a group when you tour Mongolia:
Perks of Group Travel
There’s absolute safety in numbers that makes us feel more relaxed when trying out new things. Having more people around you to share Mongolia with could be just what you need. Some of the typical perks of group travel in Mongolia are:
-
Having a tour guide, who knows the country well, allows you to sit back and enjoy the journey in peace.
-
For those interested in Mongolia’s rich history, you’ll benefit from having an experienced guide. The country is brimming with lesser known sites and areas that you might miss if traveling alone.
-
Group travels are often set up during festivals and other celebrations, to give you the chance to get a full appreciation of Mongolia’s culture by helping you get tickets for events and festivals.
-
The weather in Mongolia is often unpredictable, but an experienced guide will make sure you get the most out of your time there, regardless of the season and whatever complications you might run into.
-
Cost effective: A group tour is cheaper than touring on a private tour (as it shares transport/other facilities with other travelers)
-
No stress of planning itineraries - The best option for those who are eager to see Mongolia’s most popular places at a reasonable price.
Traveling with a group will often provide you with experiences that are carefully planned, tested, and developed to fully satisfy you with everything that Mongolia has to offer. And that’s not to say that there won’t be room for adventure.
-
Traveling in a group with an experienced guide will allow you to meet with Mongolia’s nomads. These chances encounter with people, whose culture and lifestyle are as ancient as the country itself, which is for many the highlight of the entire trip.
-
Try out the more exotic dishes. How about deep-fried lamb testicles in chili and garlic sauce?
-
Most guided tours are designed to allow the group the freedom to pick their level of adventure. Want to watch the sunset over the desert with a gin and tonic in hand? No problem! Want to experience a traditional countryside wedding? Also, fine!
-
Meet new people, and make friends from all over the world.
Traveling with a group in Mongolia is usually extremely flexible. The highest priority is providing an incredible experience and exceeding expectations. These days, traveling with a group will not only give you the best and most authentic version of Mongolia, but it’ll also remove the difficulties and complications that often come with visiting the wilderness. It’ll provide you with the best of what the cities have to offer, as well as all the beauty of the countryside.
