Independent Travel to Bulgan and Experience Nomadic Life

After the epidemic, a long travel can greatly broaden people's minds. Mongolia, Russia and then Europe may be a good choice. Blue sky and white clouds, vast grassland, churches, natural scenery, history and culture sites are all relaxing. Do you often look at your mobile phone and computer and get tired? First go to Mongolia to try the primitive life without network and relax completely. If you are not interested in historical and cultural sites, there is another good experience in Mongolia, that is, to experience the herdsmen's life at their gers. 

Due to the limitation of transfer means, there is no public bus outside of Ulaanbaatar, the only way is to charter a car with some other travelers, which makes the price a little higher. Basically, the cost per person per day is between USD65-90 without accommodation and meals charges. The difference lies on two or four people charter a car, the more, the cheaper.

In addition to travel agencies, there is also a public welfare organization "ger to ger". It mainly allows travelers to go deep into folk experience, live with local nomads, and better understand Mongolia's nomadic culture, which increases the income of more herdsman families. They offer different itineraries with different durations. You can choose one based on your timetable. In the peak tourist season, it's easy to find someone to carpool with you, but it is not easy after late September when Mongolia bacomes colder, so your schedule must be relax to fit in with the possible change.

Before departure, you will have a cultural training to understand the present life of herdsmen, the yurt culture including the significance of furnishings and welcoming etiquette, and learn some simple Mongolian greetings. In the next morning, you need to get to the long distance bus station and find the bus to Bulgan by yourself to Bulgan, the bus ride takes about 4 hours from Ulaanbaatar. We suggest you get on the bus at the station earlier, since the locals will be present and it will be crowded and no seat left if you are late. The scenery along the way is beautiful, you will pass by many pastoral areas. Countless cattle and sheep are eating grass, and the grazing horses are drinking at the riverside. Watching the owner gallop on the horse's back, are you also yearn for it?

The first host will pick you up from the bus station at Bulgan, and you will continue the bumpy journey for another one hour to arrive their tents, then your life without internet begins. Depending on the length of your trip, you may change two or three yurts. The male host will take the guests to ride camels, ride horses and visit the shaman worship sites. It's best to have a little foundation for riding, otherwise you won't experience the pleasure of galloping on the grassland. Get up in the morning and watch the hostess milking. You can gave a try if you want, and the other routines are also welcome you to experience. Or, just enjoy the rare tranquility on the grassland, to bask in the sunshine and see the sunset. Meals will be offered by the host. You will back to Ulaanbaatar in the same way.

Let's guess what you will do in Ulaanbaatar? To enjoy the life with internet and other modern facilities!
