Step inside a real Ulaanbaatar home, cook a Mongolian meal from scratch, and spend a morning living the city the way locals actually do — not as a tourist, but as a guest.

Born in the Gobi Desert, raised in a ger district, your host's life traces the arc of modern Mongolia itself. Every street on this walk carries a piece of that story.

We begin at Chinggis Square, walk through neighborhoods most travelers never find, then slow down at the apartment over Mongolian herbal tea and Shagai — a traditional ankle bone game played by Mongolians for centuries. Together we make Tsuivan from scratch — Mongolia's beloved fried noodle dish — rolling the dough, cutting the noodles, cooking it at the stove. Lunch is shared around the family table.

You'll leave with a recipe card, a full stomach, and a genuine sense of Ulaanbaatar as a lived and evolving city.

Strictly limited to 4 guests.
