Come hungry. Spend a day seeing Ulaanbaatar through the places, food, and stories that make it home for me.
We'll start at Sukhbaatar Square and walk through the everyday side of Ulaanbaatar, beyond the usual sightseeing route. You'll see local markets, schoolyards, the railway district, and places most visitors pass without knowing their stories. Along the way, I'll share what growing up here has taught me about the city and everyday Mongolian life.
Then we'll come home to my tenth-floor apartment, with the city below. We'll slow down over herbal tea and learn Shagai, a traditional Mongolian ankle bone game, before heading into the kitchen.
You'll roll the dough, cut the noodles, prepare the ingredients, and cook Tsuivan with your own hands, the way it's made in Mongolian homes.
By the time we sit down, the meal is yours. You made it.
This is a small-group experience with no script and no rush. Just a day of walking, cooking, stories, and everyday life in a Mongolian home.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet your host at the base of the Sukhbaatar statue at the center of Sükhbaatar Square, central Ulaanbaatar. Your host will be holding a "SEREY TRAVEL" sign and wearing a Serey Travel t-shirt. Reachable by bus, taxi or on foot from most central hotels.
The experience concludes at your host’s apartment at approximately 2:30–3:00 PM. From there, you can walk back to Sukhbaatar Square along Peace Avenue (about one hour), take a short taxi ride, or use nearby public transportation to return to the city center.
