Had the most amazing experience on the farm. The whole family was very welcoming and provided nice accomodation in a ger and very tasty food.
Had plenty of spare time to explore the town and climb the nearby mountain to a beautiful viewpoint. We even got to experience a school sports day which was really fun and ride some horses in the snow. Thank you so much to Onja and the family :)

Yeruu is a peaceful village surrounded by nature. I visited a local school, rode horses, and shared everyday life with a wonderful Mongolian family. Living between tradition and modernity taught me that happiness isn't about comfort, but finding joy in discomfort and peace within ourselves. My favorite memory was working alongside Grandpa, playing music, and dancing together. It reminded me that innocence isn't reserved for children Some places leave memories. Others change how we see life. Yeruu gave me both.
