Enthralling Adventure
Fantastic trip. We travelled (admittedly some long drives) through the flat landscapes, dodging large herds of goats and sheep as well as horses and camels. Four visits to various nomad families gave us insights into their ways of life, and we sampled fermented cows’, mares’, and camels’ milk. We watched one family milk the mares, and rode camels near the sand dunes. Visits to Buddhist temples and museums gave us additional insights. The bronze age petroglyphs were a highlight, particularly those of tigers. The best bit was at the end of the trip, when we attended the Golden Eagle Festival. Watching men and women interact with their eagles was amazing, as were the other events, such as the tug-of-war with a goat skin.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting the eagle hunter's family. The eleven year old boy was so obviously proud to have an eagle of his own.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent. He handled some tricky situations with great wisdom and humour.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The Eagle Festival was very cold, -2C on the first day. Make sure to wear lots of layers, and bear in mind that there are no permanent buildings so it's not easy to get warm anywhere. However attendance by tourists was a quarter of pre-pandemic, so it was very easy to get a good spot to take photos.

Eagle Festival
Advice given by Exodus regarding the transfer in Beijing was inadequate. Much more detail is needed. Many lost souls were wandering the airport for some time. Perhaps a step-by-step description ? Chinese airport personnel were generaly rude, and less than helpful.
The whole trip was generally fine.
Exodus were advisied that one of us was gluten-free, but this information was not given to the tour guide beforehand, which Exodus stated it had been. Probably did not make a huge difference in the end as Gluten free food is largely unknown in Mongolia (not entirely unexpected).

Eagle festival was stunning
Thoughts on Group Leader
Namja (??) did an excellent job in leading the tour. He was very well versed in local history, and very keen to help and assist when required. Thouroughly reccommend this guide/group leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Gluten free travellers - take plenty of food !
Make sure you understand the intricacies of Beijing airport transfer - in advance !

Excellent trip.
Just returned from.this Mongolia trip. It was a wonderful holiday. Mongolia is vast and fascinating. The holiday was made more enjoyable and informative by our guide MG. The Eagle Festival was unbelievable. 120 eagle hunters with their beautiful Golden Eagles.

Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader MG was amazing. Knowledgeable and well organised. Took all the stress of travelling. Well done MG.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take more money. The Ger camps sell beer and wine. Plus you need c $100 per person for tips and incidental paid for by the group leader. Plus you need to tip the group leader at the end of the trip.
