Altai Mountains Adventure: Local Culture & Cuisine Itinerary

After a leisurely breakfast at your accommodation, experience a day in the life of a nomadic herder. Participate in milking yaks, making traditional dairy products, and riding horses across the vast Mongolian steppe.

Enjoy a nomadic-style lunch with your host family, tasting homemade cheese, airag (fermented mare's milk), and buuz (steamed dumplings). Take a guided tour of the nearby petroglyphs, ancient rock carvings that offer a glimpse into Mongolia's rich history.

For dinner, indulge in a fusion of flavors at Modern Nomads, a restaurant that combines traditional Mongolian ingredients with a modern twist. End the day stargazing in the clear Altai night sky.

Kick off your last day with a scenic drive to the majestic Altai Tavan Bogd National Park. Hike to the base of the towering Tavan Bogd mountains and visit the stunning Potanin Glacier, the largest in Mongolia.

Enjoy a picnic lunch with a view of the glacier. Then, try your hand at horseback archery, a traditional Mongolian sport, under the guidance of a skilled local instructor.

Conclude your Altai adventure with a farewell dinner at The Blue Sky Restaurant, a fine dining establishment with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Toast to your unforgettable journey with a glass of Mongolian wine or a cup of suutei tsai (salty milk tea).
