6 Days Inner Mongolia Grassland, Desert & Genghis Khan Tour from Hohhot

Inner Mongolian Morning Market

Your guide will take you to a local morning market to experience authentic Inner Mongolian daily life. Watch vendors simmer salty milk tea in iron pots, steam lamb shaomai , and sell fresh dairy specialties like milk skin and milk curd. Sit down like a local, tear off a piece of traditional baked bread and dip it into the milk tea, then pick up some dried beef and cheese for the road. The walk is flat and easy, with the vehicle nearby for resting at any time — a warm, personal window into Mongolian culture.

Horseback Riding Experience

Saddle up on a Mongolian horse and ride into the open grasslands with a local guide. Beginners are welcome—basic instruction is provided before you set off. Walk or trot through rolling plains, past grazing sheep and cattle, with the sky stretching wide in every direction. A true grassland experience—horse, wind, and open land.

Honggeer Obo Live Show: Legend of Monan

See Legend of Monan, a large outdoor performance at Honggeer Obo, with hundreds of performers, horses and camels spread across the grassland. It works through Mongolian history, heroism and nomadic life under open sky.

Mongolian Folk Culture Experience

Spend a day with nomadic life on the grassland. Feed camels, sheep and horses, try milking and other herder chores, visit an old stone circle and the flower fields with guided storytelling and blessing rites, take on the Grassland Warrior Park, make Mongolian milk tea in a yurt, and dress in a traditional robe for photos.

Ordos Wedding Ceremony

Step into a traditional Ordos Mongolian wedding—bride and groom in ornate robes, a horse procession, ceremonial songs, and the full ritual of a grassland marriage. Watch the exchange of hadas, the bowing to fire and sky, and the lively feast that follows. A joyful, vivid window into Mongolian customs, music, and hospitality—and a chance to feel the warmth of a celebration passed down for generations. Advance booking is required.

Genghis Khan Mausoleum Official Guided Tour

Visit the mausoleum with an official on-site guide—the only guides permitted to give commentary inside. Learn about Genghis Khan's legacy, the sacred rituals, and the Mongolian heritage surrounding this site. Your tour guide will handle transport and logistics but will not narrate inside, as required by site regulations.

Equestrian Show

Watch Mongolian riders perform on galloping horses - standing in the saddle, vaulting mid-stride, shooting arrows at speed. A high-energy display of horsemanship set on the open grassland.

Sand Therapy

Try traditional Mongolian sand therapy, a local wellness practice said to ease joint pain and draw out dampness. You're gently buried in warm desert sand and left in the sun. It's an unusual, relaxing ritual, done on-site.
