The length of your consultation will depend on your personal questions and the treatments you request. You will have the chance to visit the city with your guide before resuming the journey to Ulaanbaatar.
Shamans see themselves as intermediaries between the world of humans and the world of spirits and nature. They play an important role in Mongolian communities: they are a link between worlds, and contribute to healing both body and soul. Whatever your beliefs, this is a wonderful experience that may guide you down unexpected paths.

Three days on horseback, nights under a yurt, daily life with pastoral families and the preserved landscapes of Naiman Nuur make for an active yet accessible trip. Most riding days are at walking pace or a gentle trot, led by a local guide.
You will visit
The base trip lasts 14 days. Roads and tracks can be long, but are offset by soothing hot baths, walks, and time spent at the camp. A day in Darkhan to meet a shaman is an unmissable experience.
