By Izak(SG)June 7, 2026 IzakSanchi and the driver were amazing! We had alot of fun during the 5 days. Sanchi showed and explained to us about Mongolian culture and its history. She is also very friendly that it feels more like a trip with close friends than a tour. The different sceneries (lakes, dessert, grasslands) were amazing and the normadic homestay is definitely an experience that everyone should try.Date of Experience: June 03, 2026
