3 Tips For Your Mongolian Solo Adventure
#TipsForTrips
Deciding to go on a solo adventure is always a good idea. It gives a person some time to reconnect with their true inner self and meet plenty of new people from various cultures.
In case you are wondering whether it is safe to travel to Mongolia alone, you should know that Mongolia is one of the lowest crime-ridden countries for visiting. It has one of the lowest crime rates in all Asia, so you shouldn’t worry about getting in trouble – as long as you use common sense and always play it safe.
However, we can’t predict the future, and we all know anything could happen, especially in a foreign country while you are all alone, so traveling with a travel agency is the best way to visit Mongolia solo. When you go in small groups, there is enough privacy for you to enjoy the adventures all by yourself if you wish to, but there is also enough security coming from having people around you and not being all alone. Traveling in groups usually become like little communities, and the people in it always look out for each other.
Here are three tips for your Mongolian solo adventure:
Make a Bucket List
Mongolia is unique in so many ways: culturally, historically, and geographically. There is so much to see, and you won’t be able to plan an effective trip if you don’t make a bucket list first. With so many opportunities, it’s easy to get overwhelmed in your battle with time simply because there is so much to experience.
Here is a list of things to start with when it comes to creating your bucket list:
- Ride a wild horse or a camel in the Gobi desert
- Visit Hustai National park to see the only fully feral horses in the world
- Meet the “last reindeer people.”
- Explore the unique history of ancient Buddhist temples
- Randomly stumble upon dinosaur fossils (yes, really!)
- Travel on the world’s longest train route, the Trans-Siberian
- Push your limits and challenge your strength in the land of temperature extreme
Beware of Dehydration
It’s not uncommon for people to get dehydrated while traveling to Mongolia. When you are traveling alone, you’ve got no one to remind you to stay hydrated, so you are going to have to take this responsibility – and you shouldn’t take it lightly. The climate can sometimes be so hot and dry that you may not even notice you’ve been sweating because the heat absorbs the sweat immediately.
Find the Perfect Tour
Since you’re going on this adventure alone, you don’t have to compromise on traveling details with anyone, which is a significant plus. There are many various tours to choose from, depending on your specific preferences. There are three ways you can travel to Mongolia with our agency:
- You can join groups
- Create your own departure
- You can have the experience tailor made for your unique needs and wishes.
Whether you want to join a Buddhist monasteries group tour or you’re more interested in trekking and hiking, but in your own way, choose a tour that features your desired activities – and don’t forget to have fun!

How to Travel to Mongolia
Mongolia is an incredibly beautiful country; it’s no wonder it’s on many people’s bucket list of travel destinations. And now that you’re making plans to travel there, you’re probably wondering if it’s better to self-organize or go with a tour company.
If you’re planning on traveling on your own, you’ll be entirely responsible for securing your own accommodations and transportation. It will also be up to you to navigate your way around to look for food and drink. Depending on where you are from, the language barrier may be a problem. And there’s also the fact that you will need to rely solely on what you have researched about Mongolia to get you from one site to the next.
However, if you were to travel to Mongolia with a travel company, here’s what you can expect:
Detailed Itinerary
A tour company knows exactly how much time it takes to get one activity to the next. They will create the itinerary for you and may even customize one based on your preferences. This takes away the hassle of having to plan everything out yourself.
Group Discounts
Perhaps one of the biggest perks of traveling with a tour company is that bigger groups enjoy discounts on activities, food, and drinks.
Intimate Knowledge
There are plenty of beautiful places to visit in Mongolia. And because tour companies have had extensive experience arranging tours, they’ll know exactly which parts of this magnificent country are absolute must-sees and best guide you in your experience.
Social Advantage
A tour company can help you immerse in the unique culture and stunning scenery of Mongolia. If you were to travel alone, the locals may struggle to understand you because of the language barrier. However, when you travel with a tour company, they’ll be able to speak for you and get you to places you wouldn’t otherwise get to see. Another social advantage of traveling with a group is getting to meet people from all over the world who are experiencing Mongolia for the first time like you are.
Safety
Because tour companies know the lay of the land, they can help keep you safe on your adventure activities such as camel riding, nature hikes, and sightseeing historical sites. And because your guides will be knowledgeable about local weather conditions and the environment, they will be aware of all the potential danger zones.
Unique Tour Trail
Reliable tour companies have been arranging tours for so long that they’ve come to discover many fascinating and often secret areas that the general public doesn’t know about. They just might take you off the typical tourist trail to introduce you to a completely unique experience.
So whether you are taking a trip to the pristine Khuvsgul Lake or looking forward to seeing the double-humped camels in the Gobi desert, traveling with a tour company is your best chance to make the most of your Mongolian experience. The last thing you want to do on your first day in Mongolia is spend it lost as your struggle to navigate your way around and communicate with the locals.
When it comes to tour companies with extensive experience, Discover Mongolia Travel has been assisting people from all over the world with their Mongolian adventures since 2004.
