Faye Steele
“I visited with a group and we participated in horseback riding, archery, archery on horseback, shooting range, karaoke, and a bonfire with s’mores and fireworks. My favorite was archery on horseback, which was surprisingly easier than standard archery.”

Abad Enriquez
“I was welcomed by a Mongolian family, got to try their food, sang karaoke, and my favorite part was sitting by the fire just staring at the vast sky at night. I still think of it when life gets too loud.”

Viria Vichit-Vadakan
“Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic nomadic life. You’ll enjoy well-curated activities such as animal herding, milking goats, building a ger, and fresh home-cooked meals. What truly stands out is the care and hospitality of the team.”

“The hosts were always eager to show us around, explain their culture, and include us in their daily activities. We got to experience life with livestock, taste delicious traditional foods, try our hand at archery, and so much more.”
