For Community Based Nomadic Lifestyle Adventures

Preparing for Your Nomadic Lifestyle Adventure – Take Full Responsibility for Your Experience

At GER to GER, we are committed to advancing the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across Mongolia, ensuring that our Nomadic Lifestyle Adventures and community-based tourism initiatives create positive social and economic benefits for local nomadic families.

To support responsible and well-prepared travel, we are continually enhancing our online resources, including PDF guides, audio materials, videos, and useful links. These learning tools are provided freely to help you better understand Mongolia’s nomadic culture, traditions, and way of life before embarking on your journey.

Take Responsibility for Your Learning & Experience

Unlike traditional guided tours, GER to GER’s Nomadic Lifestyle Adventures are designed as immersive experiences where you take full responsibility for your own learning and the quality of your interactions with nomadic families.

Itineraries Are Recommendations, Not Strict Schedules – Our itineraries serve as guidance for what you could do with nomadic families, but you have the freedom to shape your own experience—even if that means simply relaxing.
Your Preparation Determines Your Experience – The more effort you put into learning and understanding nomadic culture, customs, and expectations, the more enriching and rewarding your journey will be.
Responsible Travel Means Personal Accountability – Your experience is what you make of it—the interactions you initiate, the respect you show, and the willingness you bring to engage in cultural exchange.

What GER to GER Provides vs. Your Personal Responsibility

At GER to GER, we provide:

Comprehensive online learning resources to help you prepare.
Access to authentic nomadic trails & accommodations with host families.
Nomadic guides who ensure your safety and support throughout your journey.
Three hearty nomadic meals a day, along with water and tea.

Everything else is up to you—your experience is shaped by your curiosity, engagement, and adaptability. This is not a standard tour—it’s a REAL nomadic lifestyle adventure, where you are expected to be independent, open-minded, and proactive in your learning and interactions.

Your Adventure, Your Responsibility

As you prepare for your journey, we encourage you to take full ownership of your learning, your adaptability, and your approach to cultural exchange. The quality of your experience will be directly influenced by your mindset, preparation, and willingness to immerse yourself in nomadic life.

We wish you the best of luck on your learning journey and future nomadic endeavors!

What to Expect

We’ve prepared a lot of useful information for you – enjoy and good luck on your preparation!

Authentic Nomadic Lifestyle Adventures & Responsible Travel in Mongolia

Founded on Mutual Respect – Safe & Responsible Travel with Mongolia’s Nomadic Families

GER to GER’s Nomadic Lifestyle Adventures offer a truly immersive experience, far removed from standard tours. Unlike packaged Jeep tours, these community-based tourism (CBT) routes are 100% managed by Mongolian nomadic families, ensuring an authentic, respectful, and mutually beneficial travel experience.

Nomadic families serve as hosts and guides, welcoming you into their extra gers and daily lives. This is not a staged experience—each family is unique, some are more traditional while others embrace modern influences. Whether you’re horseback riding through mountains and deserts, trekking across vast steppes, or simply learning traditional skills, these journeys provide true cultural immersion, self-discovery, and cross-cultural harmonization.

What to Expect: Horseback Riding & Staying with Nomadic Families

Live & Travel Like a Local – Stay in traditional gers, share meals, and participate in the nomadic way of life.
Breathtaking Landscapes – Ride or trek through mountains, deserts, river valleys, and steppes, uncovering Mongolia’s raw beauty.
No Rigid Itineraries – A True Nomadic Journey – Each day is shaped by real nomadic life, the environment, and seasonal conditions.
Sustainable & Ethical Tourism – Up to 80% of your trip finances directly support nomadic families, preserving their culture and livelihoods.
Authentic Nomadic Guidance & Learning – Travel alongside expert nomadic herders, learning ancestral skills, horsemanship, and survival techniques.
Adapt & Disconnect – No luxury services, no tourist mentality—just raw, real adventure that requires flexibility and an open mind.

Not a Tour – A True Nomadic Adventure

Unlike traditional tourism, these journeys are about learning to harmonize with nomadic life rather than following rigid schedules. Our CBT itineraries serve as guidance—”ice breakers” to help travelers integrate with their host families, rather than strict tour programs. You will not find a guesthouse or a tour operator here—instead, you will live within a family’s nomadic environment, adapting to their daily routines.

If you are expecting customer service, luxury accommodations, or strict itinerary adherence, this may not be the right experience for you. However, if you are seeking a true adventure that challenges and enriches you, then this is an opportunity to ride, live, and learn from Mongolia’s last true nomads.
