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.

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
