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

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.
