Are you seeking tranquility and a deeper connection with yourself? At TTR Mongolia, we’re thrilled to announce an upcoming 10-day meditation retreat at the Amarbayasgalant Monastery. This unique experience, launching next summer, is designed for travelers looking to immerse themselves in mindfulness and explore the rich culture of Mongolia. A SANCTUARY OF SERENITY Nestled in the picturesque landscape of northern Mongolia, Amarbayasgalant Monastery is a haven of peace, home to approximately 25 dedicated monks. Its serene environment and surroundings create the perfect setting for reflection and personal growth. Imagine waking up to the sound of nature, surrounded by majestic mountains and the tranquil spirit of a historical site. Amarbayasgalant Monastery, one of Mongolia's most significant Buddhist sites, was founded in the 18th century. Its establishment was inspired by the wish to honor the great Tibetan lama, Zanabazar, who was a pivotal figure in the development of Buddhism in Mongolia. Throughout its history, Amarbayasgalant Monastery has faced various challenges, particularly during the early 20th century when the communist regime imposed restrictions on religious practices. Many of the monastery's structures were damaged, and a significant number of monks were persecuted. In recent years, efforts have been made to restore Amarbayasgalant and revive its role as a center for Buddhist learning and meditation. Today, it stands as a testament to Mongolia's rich spiritual heritage, attracting both local and international visitors seeking solace and a deeper understanding of Buddhism. As you embark on our 10-day meditation retreat, you’ll be walking in the footsteps of centuries of spiritual seekers, experiencing the profound tranquility that this historic site has to offer. The combination of meditation, yoga, and cultural immersion will not only deepen your personal journey but also connect you to the enduring legacy of Amarbayasgalant Monastery. DAILY PRACTICES TO NOURISH YOUR SOUL Our retreat will be guided by experienced instructors who are passionate about sharing the transformative power of meditation and yoga. Each morning, you’ll participate in sound meditation sessions led by a skilled meditation teacher, helping you center your thoughts and awaken your senses. In the afternoons, unwind with yoga classes tailored to all levels, promoting flexibility, strength, and inner calm. CONNECT WITH LOCAL CULTURE AND EXPLORE THE NATURAL BEAUTY Beyond the practice, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to engage with local families. You’ll have the chance to learn about their customs, daily activities, and the warmth of Mongolian hospitality. This cultural immersion not only enriches your experience but also fosters a deeper understanding of the vibrant traditions of the region. When you’re not meditating or practicing yoga, take advantage of the stunning landscape surrounding the monastery. Hike through mountain trails or saddle up for an authentic horseback riding experience, exploring the beauty of Mongolia’s wilderness. Each moment spent in nature will deepen your sense of connection to the world around you.

It is time to sleep till new magic. The 2026 travel season has officially come to an end, and as we look back, our hearts are filled with gratitude. This year was full of unforgettable journeys, adventures, challenges, friendships, and memories. Every traveler who joined us became part of our story and gave us new motivation, energy, and inspiration. One of the highlights of the year was our collaboration with the amazing Jeep Experience team. Together, we completed an incredible Gobi expedition with JEEP, Land Cruiser 200 and Land Cruiser 300 vehicles' crossing some of Mongolia's most beautiful and remote landscapes. It was truly a remarkable experience for all of us. Of course, every adventure comes with unexpected challenges, but the kindness, teamwork, friendship, and positive spirit of everyone involved made the journey unforgettable. This year we were also honored to travel with renowned historian and researcher 'Lonnie C. Ludeman' and his Romanian friends through Mongolia's historical and cultural sites. It was a privilege for us, and we are grateful for everything we learned from him. In many ways, he helped us discover new perspectives on our own country's history. To all the families who trusted us and traveled across Mongolia with their children—thank you. Your smiles, laughter, and curiosity made every journey special. To everyone who rented vehicles from us—thank you for your trust. There were occasional challenges along the way, and sometimes things did not go exactly as planned, but we always did our best to help. We continue learning, improving, and growing, and we promise to make our services even better in the future. Most importantly, every traveler who joined TTR Mongolia also became part of something bigger. Through our partnership with 'EEJII.org Charity & Volunteering Foundation', we were able to dedicate a portion of the profit from every trip to support humanitarian projects throughout the year. Thanks to you, we successfully contributed to the foundation's four-season programs and community activities. And now, the next chapter begins. This December, through our "December Magic" project, together we will bring a little magic to children fighting cancer and children facing difficult life circumstances. Every traveler who joined us this year helped make this possible. We cannot wait to share those moments with you. Join us in December as we open a very special surprise together. From the entire TTR Mongolia family: Thank you for traveling with us. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for helping us spread kindness. See you in 2027. ❤️ TTR Mongolia

This summer, at TTR Mongolia we had the pleasure to guide a family of four on an unforgettable 12-day journey through the stunning landscapes of Mongolia, specifically the Taiga region West of Khuvsgul Lake. Together, we embarked on a unique adventure mixing culture, nature, and unforgettable experiences to this region home of the Tsaatan People, reindeer herders. JOURNEY TO THE TAIGA With the family, our guide and driver, our adventure began when reaching the Khuvsgul Lake, often referred to as the “Blue Pearl” of Mongolia, the perfect start to our exploration of the majestic Taiga. After settling down and getting everything ready, we set off on horseback to reach the Tsaatan camps. Riding through the deep forests, we immersed ourselves in the tranquility of the Taiga, a region renowned for its nature and diverse wildlife. After 5 to 6 hours of horse riding with our guide, we reached the summer camp of the Tsaatan community. A WARM WELCOME FROM THE TSAATAN PEOPLE Upon reaching the Tsaatan camps, we were welcomed by the Tsaatan, a nomadic reindeer herding community. This was our chance to learn about their traditional lifestyle, one that has thrived in this remote region for generations. We participated in daily activities, such as milking reindeer and helping prepare traditional meals. Our guide help the communication between the family and the Tsaatan and provided insights into their unique customs and practices. MEMORIES As our tour concluded, everyone left not only with a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Mongolia but also with memories of our experiences. The combination of horse riding, cultural exchanges with the Tsaatan, and the serene landscapes of the Taiga created a magical tapestry of adventure that the family will carry for a lifetime. At TTR Mongolia, we believe that travel is about creating connections—both with nature and with the people we meet along the way. Our guided tours offer immersive experiences that allow travelers to truly engage with the places they visit.
