Mongolia gay tour

 

A People Uniquely Adapted to their Homeland

Sitting in the heart of Asia lies Mongolia, a vast area of grasslands (steppes), deserts, and hills that comprise the most sparsely populated country on earth. Since the soil in most of the country is not suitable for farming, the people long ago adapted to a nomadic lifestyle. They move between locations based on the seasons, adapting to warm summers and very cold winters.

For living quarters, they perfected the design of gers (yurts) that can be moved with the family each season. With their adaptability to nature and prowess in horseback riding and archery, they have sometimes been formidable adversaries to their neighbors.

We start and end our tour in a five-star hotel in Ulaanbaatar, the capital and current home to half the population. In between, we will enjoy very comfortable accommodations in gers from which we can enjoy views of the wide-open spaces and natural environment in this sparsely populated land.

The most famous Mongolian was Chinggis Khaan (Genghis Khan) who conquered much of Asia around 1200 AD, even establishing the Mongol (Yuan) Dynasty in China.

During our gay Mongolia tour, we will explore this diverse landscape, as well as immerse ourselves in the unique Mongolian culture.

 

Mongolia gay tour - Chinggis Khan

 

Mongolia Gay Cultural Vistas Tour Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Ulaanbaatar
Welcome to Mongolia, once home to Genghis Khan (Chinggis Khaan)!

Our transfer driver will take us to our hotel to relax after our long flights.

We will have an informal meeting this evening with anyone whose flight arrives early enough to join us.

 

Mongolia gay tour - Ulaanbaatar Monastery

 

Day 2 - Exploring Ulaanbaatar
Today we will explore Mongolia’s capital city of Ulaanbaatar, the country’s only metropolitan center.

We will visit the Gandan Buddhist Monastery in the morning and the National Museum of Mongolia in the afternoon.

This evening, we will enjoy our welcome dinner. We will see a traditional Mongolian folk concert with dance and traditional throat singing.

 

Mongolia gay tour - Yol Valley

 

Day 3 - Gobi Desert & the Yol Valley
Today we fly to the southern Gobi Desert.

Our main stop this afternoon is for a walk in the Yol Valley (Yolyn Am). For a desert, the Gobi surprises with hidden green gems, lush vegetation and even cute voles. The river running through the Yol Valley remains partially frozen until late June, but provides water year-round, which attracts a variety of wildlife such as the Altai snowcock, the Bighorn Argali Sheep, the wild ibex ram, wolves, and foxes.

Scan the skies and keep your eyes open for the Lammergeier vulture, for which the valley is named. There are even occasional reports of snow leopard tracks in the area. Enjoy a 2-to-3-hour hike into the valley, weather permitting (it is out-and-back so you can stop or turn around at any point).

We then continue to our Gobi ger camp, where we will stay for the next three nights. Gers are traditional Mongolian circular sturdy tents, perhaps better known to you from the Russian name yurt. Our gers provide a comfortable room with beds, a desk and chairs, a window looking out on the Gobi landscape, and ensuite bathrooms.

 

Mongolia gay tour - Flaming Cliffs

 

Day 4 - Nomadic Family and the Flaming Cliffs
After a good night’s sleep, we will visit a local nomadic family in their seasonal home. They will talk with us about nomadic family life in the desert, as well as joys and problems that they face in the modern era.

Next, we will visit the world-famous dinosaur fossils found in 1922 at the “Flaming Cliffs” (bayanzag in Mongolian). American explorer Roy Chapman Andrews, whom some say was the model for Indiana Jones, discovered not only intact dinosaur bones, but also the first dinosaur eggs ever to be discovered.

The Flaming Cliffs, so aptly named, are red in color and almost seem to glow in the rising or setting sun. As you wander through here, keep your eyes peeled for geodes. Some fossils are still being discovered today!

In the evening, we will head back to our ger camp for dinner.

 

Mongolia gay tour - Khongor Sand Dunes

 

Day 5 - Gobi Camel Ride and Khavtsgait Petroglyphs
After breakfast, we will head to the sand dunes to enjoy a camel ride offered by a local herder family.

The camels in Mongolia are Bactrian Camels which have a double hump, and we will saddle-up in between the humps. Our local hosts will lead us on a walk, telling us more about our sturdy steeds, why they are here, and the purpose of the humps.

We will return to the ger camp for lunch.

The afternoon is at your leisure. However, we offer an optional excursion this afternoon to Khavtsgait, an area on top of the central mountain range cutting through the Gobi that contains bronze age petroglyphs. We will hike 30 minutes uphill to reach these ancient carvings. We can explore this area while the guide explains about bronze age life in the gobi.

Afterwards, return to the ger camp for dinner and perhaps a campfire under the big sky of the Gobi.

 

Mongolia gay tour - gers sunset

 

Day 6 - Nomadic Mongolian Experience
We will take an early flight back to the capital, heading west of the city to a traditional Mongol Nomadic ger camp with presentations on ancient Mongolian life.

These activities will include traditional music, how they make Mongolian vodka, how to load camels and yaks to transport their gers to their next camp, drying leathers, and how they break horses. The guests are able to try on traditional clothing and furs.

After the festivities, we continue to our contemporary, somewhat upscale ger camp, the HS Khaan resort. This ger camp is Japanese-owned and Mongolian run, offering an upscale experience, large rooms with grand views, and fine food. Unpack and rest before we will have dinner at the resort.

 

Mongolia gay tour - Turtle Rock

 

Day 7 - Contemporary Buddhist Temple Aglag Buteel & Boulder Carvings
After Breakfast, we visit a modern Buddhist temple called Aglag Buteel. This temple was designed by a famous Buddhist monk named Purevbat, who annually determined the Tibetan Buddhist calendar based on astronomy. As usual, the temple is situated high on a hill with a peaceful view of nature. Interestingly, he and his followers have spent the last fifteen to twenty years carving the granite boulders and cliffs above the temple into unique and quite striking images of gods and mythology. Visit the temple.

And for those up for the extended walk, we will continue up the hill behind the temple to enjoy a walk with the gods.

Afterwards, we return to our resort for the afternoon and evening.

 

Mongolia gay tour horses

 

Day 8 - Terelj National Park and Tsonjin Boldog Statue
After breakfast we will drive east to Terelj National Park. This area is the southern tip of the Siberian boreal forest known as the taiga, and is a stark contrast in landscape with the Gobi desert.

We will have lunch at one of the camps in the restaurants in the area and we will spend the afternoon enjoying the sights that Terelj National park has to offer.

This area has many unique rock formations, including the famous turtle rock whose name is derived from its uncanny resemblance of a huge turtle.

After a quick stop at this rock, we will visit the Ariyabal Buddhist temple and climb the requisite 108 stone steps to reach its entrance. Mongolian Tibetan Buddhist monks, in the past, would retreat here to meditate and pray. Nowadays, the monks are not active here when tourists visit.

Late afternoon we arrive at our luxury hotel where we stay for two nights.

Later, we can enjoy a short horse ride in the area before returning to our hotel for dinner.

 

Mongolia Naadam Festival gay tour

 

Day 9 - Tsonjin Boldog and Private Naadam Festival
In the morning, we will go to Tsonjin Boldog, a huge metal statue of Chinggis Khan on horseback. Inside the statue we either take the stairs or an elevator to the top of the horse, offering a great view of the area.

After leaving Tsonjin Boldog, we will visit a local ger camp to enjoy the spectacle of a small, private Naadam festival.

The Naadam festival, a summer tradition dating back to the times of Chinggis Khaan, is a trio of contests displaying the Mongolian sports of horse racing, wrestling, and archery in traditional attire.

In this area we can also take a horse ride if you would like

 

Ulaanbaatar Mongolia gay tour

 

Day 10 - Return to Ulaanbaatar
After a relaxing start to our morning, we will return to Ulaanbaatar for our last night in Mongolia.

The afternoon will be on your own to explore more of the capital city.

After our farewell dinner together, perhaps a visit to a local gay bar for those who are interested.

 

Day 11 - Homeward Bound
Today we all start our journey home or to our next destination.

Transfers will be provided based on flight times. Bon, voyage!

Trip FAQ

Where does the tour start and end?
This tour starts and ends in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

 

What is the Activity Level of This Tour?
Travelers should be comfortable walking on uneven terrain including dirt paths and sand dunes. Most driving of up to about 4 hours during the first half of the tour is on unpaved roads of gravel and packed earth.

 

What is the lodging like?
We will stay in two of the finest hotels in Mongolia in Ulaanbaatar and Terelj National Park. In between we will stay in some of the best ger (yurt) encampments in the country, including one with its own spa. We have reserved rooms and gers with private baths for all tour nights, subject to availability.

 

Naadam festival Mongolia

 

How do I get to Mongolia?
There are no direct flights from North America, and few from Europe so you will need to connect through Seoul, Beijing, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Istanbul, or other gateway. We include transfers between Ulaanbaatar Airport (UBN) and our hotel for all arriving and departing flights.

 

What is the weather like in Mongolia?
Weather in Mongolia during the long days of mid-summer is generally quite comfortable with highs in the 70’s F and lows in the 50’s, and occasional rain showers.

 

Ulaanbaatar Mongolia gay tour

 

How much driving will there be each day?
With its sparse population spread over a vast area, Mongolia has the least-developed road infrastructure of any large nation. For our travels to the national parks around the capital, Ulaanbaatar, we will mostly drive on pavement, other than some park roads. For our Gobi Desert experience, we will fly between the capital and Dalanzadgad. Most roads in this region are gravel, dirt, sand, or packed earth tracks through grasslands and desert. We will have between one and four hours of driving each day, with careful professional drivers who know the roads well.

 

Gobi Desert Mongolia

 

What if I am traveling alone?
Most of our trips draw more single travelers than couples. When couples do join us, it’s usually because they’re looking forward to interacting with a gay group; if they wanted a holiday by themselves, they wouldn’t have signed up to travel with us. Furthermore, the activities included with our trips serve as natural ice-breakers. Within a day, you’ll be traveling with friends. You don’t need to pay the single supplement if you’re traveling alone. We’ll be happy to match you with a roommate. Pay the single supplement only if you want a bedroom to yourself.
