Mongolia Adventure : Highlights from Our Self-Drive Tours This Summer
MONGOLIA ADVENTURE : HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR SELF-DRIVE TOURS THIS SUMMER
This summer has been an incredible season of exploration, adventure, and
unforgettable road trips across Mongolia. We’ve welcomed travelers from who
chose to experience the wild beauty of our country through our self-drive tours
– behind the wheel of Jeep Wranglers and powerful Land Cruiser 200s.
DRIVING FREEDOM IN MONGOLIA
There’s something special about discovering Mongolia at your own pace. Endless
steppe roads, mountains on the horizon, and the thrill of being off the beaten
track – our guests this summer embraced exactly that. With our fleet of 4x4s,
equipped for adventure, they had the freedom to go beyond the usual tourist
routes and into Mongolia’s most untouched landscapes.
COMFORT AND ADVENTURE
Our vehicles are equipped with roof-top tents and a full set of camping
equipment. This means our travelers could stop wherever they wanted, set up camp
under the stars, and wake up to a sunrise over the steppe or beside a remote
lake. Some chose the Wranglers for their adventurous spirit, while others picked
the spacious Land Cruiser 200 for added comfort on long drives.
MEMORABLE JOURNEYS
From winding through the Gobi Desert to crossing rivers in the Khuvsgul Region,
our travelers shared countless stories. Some journeys took them across dusty
desert tracks, others deep into green valleys or to the shores of Mongolia’s
great lakes. Each route, though unique, had one thing in common: the joy of
independent exploration.
WHY CHOOSE A SELF-DRIVE TOUR?
* Freedom & Flexibility – travel at your own rhythm, stop where you want, when
you want.
* Adventure & Comfort Combined – reliable 4x4s, roof-top tents, and camping
gear make the journey as exciting as the destination.
* Authentic Experiences – meet local herders, camp in the wild, and truly
connect with Mongolia’s landscapes.
LOOKING AHEAD
As summer comes to a close, we’re grateful for all the adventurers who chose to
explore Mongolia with us. Every story and every adventure,reminds us why
self-drive tours are such a special way to experience this vast land.
If you’ve been dreaming of an adventure where the road is yours to choose, start

🎬 TTR Mongolia – 2026 Travel Season Comes to an End
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

Journey to the Tsaatan Tribe
This summer, we had the privilege of organizing a very special adventure in
collaboration with Pangaea, a tour company from Saudi Arabia. Together, we
welcomed nine travellers who embarked on an unforgettable 12-day journey across
Mongolia to meet the Tsaatan Tribe in the north Khuvsgul Region
Our expedition began from Ulaanbaatar with three Land Cruisers, carrying us
through some of Mongolia’s most beautiful and wild landscapes. Over 12 days ,
the group experienced both the cultural richness and raw wilderness that make
Mongolia such a unique destination.
AMARBAYASGALANT MONASTERY
The first highlight was Amarbayasgalant Monastery, one of the most beautiful and
oldest Buddhist monasteries in Mongolia. Located in a peaceful valley, it gave
travellers an inspiring view into Mongolia’s spiritual heritage. There, we had
the chance to meet the monks and visit the Monastery and its temples. Later at
night, the travellers were enchanted by a traditional music concert of horse
fiddle.
KHUVSGUL LAKE – THE WILD EAST SIDE
From there, we headed to Khuvsgul Lake, often called the “Blue Pearl of
Mongolia.” Instead of staying on the more accessible western shore, we ventured
to the eastern side of the lake – a remote area reached after driving two-hour
on a dirt road. This wild setting, far from the usual tourist routes, offered
great scenery and true tranquility.
MEETING SHUKHERT IN ULAAN-UUL
Our journey continued to Ulaan-Uul, where we were welcomed by our local guide
and true legend, Shukhert. Staying with him and his family for three nights gave
the group a warm introduction to northern Mongolian hospitality and culture.
THE HORSEBACK ADVENTURE TO THE TSAATAN
The most anticipated and challenging part of the journey was, of course, the
visit to the Tsaatan Tribe. To reach them, we set off on a 5–6 hour horseback
ride through mountains, rivers and forest. The landscapes of the Red Taiga are
incredible and truly unique, found nowhere else. For many in the group, it was
their first time riding a horse – a real challenge that tested their endurance
and spirit. After a long day, we finally reached the Tsaatan camp at night.
LIVING WITH THE TSAATAN TRIBE
The group spent two extraordinary days with the Tsaatan reindeer herders,
learning about their unique way of life and traditions. This rare encounter left
a deep impression on everyone – a glimpse into a way of life that few travellers
in the world have the chance to experience. Travellers followed the family and
tribe in their daily activities, and we had the chance to witness a very rare
Naadam Celebration in the Red Taiga, regroupping families from all around.
A JOURNEY TO REMEMBER
After saying goodbye to the Tsaatan, we retraced our path and eventually
returned to Ulaanbaatar. The journey was not always easy, but the reward was
immense. Every traveller was left in awe of the landscapes, the challenges
overcome, and the cultural encounters along the way.
This tour was more than just a trip – it was an adventure of a lifetime. We
thank Pangaea and all nine of their wonderful travellers for trusting us with
this unique experience, and we look forward to many more journeys together in
the future.
