Mongolia Homestay Holidays

Mongolia is often described through its vast landscapes, nomadic heritage and extraordinary sense of space. But getting to know a country also means getting to know the ordinary people who call it home. Our Mongolia homestays offer the opportunity to spend time alongside local families, share aspects of their everyday lives and get to know the landscapes they call home. It might mean sharing salty milk tea around the kitchen table, helping with a task, joining a family meal or simply watching the comings and goings of daily life. There are no specially arranged activities. Life carries on around you, and you are welcomed into it, with one of our Mongolian female trip assistants helping with conversations and practical arrangements.

Our homestays are built on long-standing friendships and community partnerships with families across Mongolia, from the Middle Gobi to the Khangai Mountains and the valleys of Terelj. Each family has its own story, circumstances and way of life, and we don’t ask them to change their routines for visitors. These partnerships also provide an additional source of income, helping families diversify their livelihoods and make their own choices in the face of changing economic and environmental conditions. For us, homestays are not about recreating a romanticised version of Mongolia. They’re about creating opportunities for genuine human connection, supporting local communities and allowing ordinary moments to become part of the travel experience.
