Bogd Khan Mountain Hiking Excursion - Private Day Trip

Great hike in nature

It was a great hike in a beautiful surrounding. After spending some time in Ulaanbataar city center, it was a good getaway into nature, and from the top of mountain we had good views of the city from afar. MJ was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and gave us a lot of information about Mongolian history, culture and society. She also brought good food for lunch. Our driver Ari was also very friendly and we felt safe during the 1-hour-drive to the starting point of the hike and on the way back. Even though the hike is a bit more expensive than other daytrips, we would highly recommend it as you get a truly personal and individual experience, as we were the only guests and could hike at our preferred speed and stop whenever we liked for pictures etc. As we were only 3 girls on the hike including MJ as guide, it felt more like a hike with a group of friends. 😊

Gobi &Central Mongolia –Local Naadam Tour

Immerse yourself in a diverse culture with extraordinary hospitality

For many years, visiting Mongolia had been on my wish list. I wanted to get to know this country, surrounded by two huge neighbours and yet 40 times the size of Switzerland. On the one hand out of curiosity, but also because we have been welcoming exchange students from Mongolia for 18 years now. So it was a great pleasure to have one of these former students, Ulmaa, as our tour guide. In addition, her husband Boldoo was our driver and cook, and the family's young daughter accompanied us on the trip – the perfect combination. After a few days in the vibrant capital and cosmopolitan city of Ulaan Baatar, we set off for the countryside. The rich history of this country and its scenic beauty are an incredible treasure that I was able to discover with Ulmaa, Boldoo and Urahas. I have particularly fond memories of visiting nomads, hiking on volcanic craters, attending a shamanic ceremony as an observer, bathing in the thermal springs of Tsenkher and visiting the Naadam national festival in a smaller town, where we were close to the action. And the fact that there are sand dunes in Mongolia where you can even go tobogganing was an added surprise. I wholeheartedly recommend Buman Tours because I felt safe and well looked after at all times. Buman Tours works with local businesses, thereby promoting sustainable tourism. The price-performance ratio is impressive and the memories are countless and lasting. Long live Buman Tours and Mongolia!
