8 Day Great Gobi and Central Mongolia

I warmly recommend Danista Nomads Tours if you want to discover Mongolia. The tour in itself is a little bit demanding and challenging as most of Mongolians roads are bumpy and not paved. Distances are considerable. Therefore get ready to spend an average of 6/7 hours per day on a sort of rollercoaster. But it definitely worths the hassle as I could enjoy my time in very beautiful and unforgettable places. I also would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to both my guide (Melodie) and driver (Puujee) for their service. Melodie is a very patient, caring and knowledgeable guide. Puujee is a nice guy who allowed us to take the needed breaks along the way. They even showed more destinations than on the itinerary. My final feedback is 5 stars. I would say 4.5 would have been the right one as some of the gers where we have been accommodated weren't really good. In some of the camps the shower didn't really work well and sometimes the yurts were too small so I bumped my head on several occasions. But the mindset is what counts the most. If you consider it as an adventorous trip, well you don't really mind about this kind of inconveniences.

With a minor age child, we have had a 8-day Central Mongolia tour with no hassle at all thanks to an outstanding service from Danista Nomads Tour company. Jagaa has always been there for us besides his busy schedule to make sure that we receive a safe and quality service to meet our interest. We deeply enjoyed beautiful sceneries of wild nature, a clear image of milky ways with thousands of stars visible in naked eyes (maybe you can bring your own telescope to enjoy the night sky), a convenient transportation and most especially the thoughtfulness of these amazing guys Jagaa, Taisun and Puje. There are many more to mention. It is worth to travel with this company, therefore we highly recommend you to choose Danista Nomads Tour. Special thanks from Conor, Cyrille and Erdene!

Communication with the host, Jagaa, was very easy via whatsapp. Jagaa was always prompt with his replies & could give good advice on how to plan our trip in Mongolia. We stayed at a private double room with ensuite bathroom on the first and last nights in Ulaanbaatar. Their rooms were very well-maintained, good quality bedsheets and pillows and good hot shower. Jagaa prepared breakfast for us himself. We think the room exceeded our expectations for the price paid. The staff manning the check-in counter, Amgaa, was also extremely helpful. He even lent us some local currency because that day happened to be a public holiday and he was afraid that most money exchange shops were not open. We booked a 8-day Central & Gobi Desert tour with Danista Nomads prior to our arrival at a reasonable price. Jagaa had assigned Dashka, as our driver-guide. Dashka has over 20 years of experience. He was always careful and reliable. His Toyota 4WD Landcruiser Prado was comfortable even on bumpy off road terrain and the vehicle was well-maintained throughout the 8 days of our trip. Our meals at all the ger camps were well thought of and catered to what we had asked for. We enjoyed all the stays at the ger camps and every host we met was friendly and helpful. We highly recommend staying at Danista Nomads hostel too - it has a very convenient location - an easy 15 minutes walk can bring you to the centre of attractions in Ulaanbaatar. We really love the warm hospitality given to us in Mongolia & hope to visit again in the near future!
