With the Grand Tour Mongolia through the Gobi and the central part, we aim to provide guests with maximum convenience. Accommodation for this tour includes the best-selected tourist camps and hotels in Mongolia, and you will be served by comfortable tour vehicles such as Lexus or Land Cruiser 200 series. The Naadam is the biggest national holiday for all Mongolians, celebrated every 11th of July and lasting 3 days. Each province and village also celebrates its local Naadam, which means hundreds of Naadams are celebrated across Mongolia. Sometimes clients prefer to see smaller but more traditional local Naadams to avoid the traffic and crowds, as the State Naadam in Ulaanbaatar can be too crowded and time-consuming. Grand Tour Mongolia tour is one of the best-selected tours of Bumantour Mongolia.
