Explore the vibrant contrasts of Ulaanbaatar on a private guided tour and hunt for unique treasures at the iconic Narantuul Black Market.
Begin your tour at Zaisan Monument, one of Ulaanbaatar’s most recognizable landmarks. Located on a hill overlooking the city, the monument was built to commemorate soldiers who lost their lives during World War II and to honor the historical relationship between Mongolia and its allies.
Continue to Gandan, Mongolia’s most important Buddhist center and one of the country’s most significant religious sites. Walk through the monastery complex and experience the peaceful atmosphere of this historic spiritual center.
Visit Narantuul Market (The Black Market)
Dive into the vibrant sights and sounds of Narantuul Market, Ulaanbaatar’s largest open-air bazaar. Accompanied by your guide, explore bustling aisles lined with traditional Mongolian crafts, hand-carved ger (yurt) frames, horse-riding gear, traditional deel tunics, vintage antiques, and local household goods. Experience the authentic rhythm of local daily life and hunt for unique, handcrafted souvenirs.
Highlights: Traditional crafts, ger supplies, horse tack, local culture, antique hunting

After visiting the city's major landmarks, travel through the ger districts, a distinctive part of Ulaanbaatar that offers a very different perspective of the capital.
