Mongolia Yoga & Wellness Holidays

If you’re travelling to Mongolia from the UK or Europe, the smoothest route to Ulaanbaatar (UBN) is often with MIAT Mongolian Airlines via Frankfurt. MIAT don’t always appear on comparison sites, but they’re reliable and usually offer the best schedules. Other good options include Air China via Beijing, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, and Korean Air via Seoul.

For guests travelling from the US, common routes include flying via Seoul, Istanbul or Beijing, depending on your preferred airline. Most journeys involve one main international connection before continuing on to Ulaanbaatar.

Not at all. Yoga’s for everybody — and every body. You don’t need to touch your toes, balance on your head, or even have a regular practice to join us.

Yes, there’s usually yoga every day, but we see it as so much more than asana (postures). It’s about how you connect — with yourself, with the world around you, and with each other. Definitely not about how your pose looks.

If you’re new to yoga, a couple of classes before you come might help you feel more at ease, but everything on retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you’re at.

And if you are a regular yogi, you’ll still be challenged and inspired. Our teachers are brilliant at reading the room — offering plenty of options and space to explore at your own pace.

You’ll usually practise twice a day: something strong and steady in the morning to wake you up, and something slower and grounding in the evening to let it all land.

We’re lucky to work with some of the most inspiring and respected teachers out there, from London to the US. Each brings their own flavour — vinyasa, restorative, meditation — but all share the same belief: yoga is for everyone. No ego. No competition. Just breath, movement, and space to be.

Our camps are simple, beautiful and intentionally close to nature. When we’re there, we become part of the nomadic community, staying alongside the herders who know this land better than anyone. You’ll sleep in traditional Mongolian yurts (gers) with comfortable beds, warm blankets and a wood burner in the centre

Facilities are basic but well cared for. There are no ensuite bathrooms, but each camp has spotless compost toilets just a short walk away. Hot showers can be arranged — water is drawn from a well or river and heated over the fire, so they’re limited and must be booked in advance.

The camps are solar powered, so power is limited and, in some areas (especially the Gobi), there’s no phone signal or internet at all. It’s a genuine digital detox: evenings unfold around the fire and beneath huge skies rather than screens.

Mongolia is definitely a destination bold travellers — people who feel energised by simplicity, wide-open spaces, remote landscapes and the sense of being far from the familiar. You’ll likely love Mongolia if you’re someone who:

• enjoys being outdoors and surrounded by big landscapes

• is open to adventure, long travel days and a little unpredictability

• prefers simple, soulful experiences over luxury comforts

• is curious about nomadic culture and life lived close to the land

• feels drawn to places that ask you to slow down and show up fully

If you prefer predictable schedules, hotel-style ease or staying constantly connected, Mongolia will feel challenging. But if the idea of stepping into the wild excites you more than it scares you, you’re in the right place.
