Stranded in the Mongolian Steppe: Our Night in a Nomadic Yurt

Hi, I’m Inga, and my husband Dileep and I create travel videos as Let’s Never Settle.

We travelled to Mongolia expecting endless steppes, ancient Buddhist monasteries and a traditional yurt stay. Instead, our booked accommodation disappeared. Thanks to the kindness of a local family, we ended up spending the night in a real Mongolian ger, and it became one of the most memorable experiences of our travels.
