I booked the 4 day personal trip which included a 1 day city tour. 2 days at the Naadam festival and a day at Terej National Park with a family home stay. This tour wasn't on the drop down list but it is what we did. I booked everything from the UK and it was organised to be the final part of our 3 week adventure in Mongolia. I'm not a fan of organised tours and I tend to avoid them but one of the main reasons for me coming to Mongolia was to attend the Nadaam Festival so I thought Id get help. I got in touch with several Mongolian companies and eventually settled on Green clover. Narantsatral was extremely helpful from start to finish and we had a fantastic time with absolutely everything running smoothly which must go down to her advice and desire for us to have a wonderful trip. Our 4 day tour was indeed private with just us 4 and our driver Baggie who spoke perfect English. He was friendly and really helped us understand Mongolian culture. There wasn't a time he wasn't smiling. The 1st day was a tour of the city and ended with a cultural show. It was a great day and we saw and learnt so much Day 2 . Opening ceremony and day 1 of the games. Absolutely incredible. Our seats were great and the atmosphere fantastic. Day 3 We started out early and drove out of the city to the Horse racing. Once again an incredible spectacle. Day 4 We drove out to Terej national park along the way stopping at Chinggis Monument. Wow its huge ! After that we continued to the park and visited several sights. Later in the day we were taken to our family stay which was a fantastic finale to our Mongolian Adventure. Our hosts were friendly and showed us how they prepared many cheeses and porridge. They prepared us a traditional meal and a cup of Vodka. I think all in all Narantsatral @Green Clover Tours has chosen a great team around her. From her own General admin and communication to her choice of driver/ guide I couldnt have asked for anything better. Then our last night in a Ger/yurt with a traditional family was exactly the right finish. Thank you to all at Green Clover Tours
