The Warrior Life Taster Tour, Khentii, Mongolia takes you through what seems like the largest and greatest empire ever known. If you want to know how the incredible Mongols became one of the most powerful civilizations in the world, then you must sign up for a warrior experience in the Khentii Mountains.
Things to do
Learn the Old Mongolia Arts
Located north-west of Ulaan Baatar, the Khentii Mountains are the most forested out of all the Mongolia Mountains. This adventure, also known as “Genghis Khan Warrior Training”, should be taken seriously. One your start, you will learn old warrior arts and tactics, which can be fun but are definitely not a game.
Warrior training requires total commitment; if you want to experience the life of a Mongolian warrior, you will have to dress like a Mongolian warrior. This is the moment where your transition to the nomad life begins. And even though you won’t fight anybody, you will still feel the impact of this unique experience.
Get a new perspective
As you go along this tour, you will be living like a true nomad since you will be staying in a ger, portable tents built for a nomadic life. Traveling across the vast plains and the Khentii Mountains on a horseback is a whole new experience. Get close to nature and learn about the past, as life becomes very simple. You will realize how amazing it feels to not have to worry about your phone, and other modern necessities.
Follow the steps of Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan is the man that gives this tour its name, and rightfully so. He established the Mongol nation and created the biggest empire ever, becoming one of the greatest military leaders in history. All warriors under the Khan were known to be the strongest, and now you can become one of them! You won’t only learn archery skills, but also how to build your own bow and arrow. You will feel like a true warrior once you’re taught field cooking and old orientation techniques.

How to get there
International air travels to Ulaan Baatar are very limited, so you have to make a good plan for your travel and figure out how you are going to get your flight ticket. Also, I recommend you to hire an expert operator like Ulaan Baatar-based Nomads Tours and Expeditions.
