Private Inner Mongolia tours — Hohhot gateway, grassland stays & yurt nights, Ordos desert landscapes — planned around your dates; Hulunbuir when you want the far north. Choose a five-to-seven-day Grassland & Ordos Classic, a three-to-four-day Hohhot Grassland Essence, or eight-to-twelve-day Inner Mongolia Highlights.
Private, privately quoted sample routes for Inner Mongolia. Classic is the usual first trip: Hohhot gateway, Xilamuren-class grassland with a yurt overnight, then Ordos desert / mausoleum landscapes. Essence keeps Hohhot plus a nearby grassland overnight. Highlights stretches the Classic spine with Hulunbuir far-north grassland (or an Alxa desert spur) when nights allow. Baotou stays folded as logistics only. Manzhouli, Xiangshawan micros, and deep industrial SERPs stay custom or quarantined. The set routes stay Classic, Essence, and Highlights.
Most popular
5–7 DAYS
Grassland & Ordos Classic
Hohhot arrival, then a Xilamuren-class grassland stay with yurt nights, then Ordos for desert landscapes and the Genghis Khan Mausoleum area. The private default first Inner Mongolia shape — steppe plus desert without inventing a fourth product.
3–4 DAYS
Hohhot Grassland Essence
Hohhot city buffer plus a nearby grassland overnight — without the Ordos desert commitment.
8–12 DAYS
Inner Mongolia Highlights
Classic grassland + Ordos spine plus Hulunbuir far-north grassland — or an Alxa desert spur — when nights and season allow.
Why book directly with DragonTrail?
Private Vehicle
Your vehicle for the group — no shared tour-bus clock between Hohhot, grassland camps, Ordos desert gates, or Hulunbuir transfers.
Grassland · Ordos
Grassland sells the yurt overnight and steppe light; Ordos sells desert landscapes and the mausoleum area. We keep that geography honest so you do not rush both into one exhausted day.
Hohhot as Gateway
Hohhot is the HET hub and city buffer — not the scenic climax. The magnets are grassland and Ordos; we do not ship a Baotou commercial or rare-earth industrial hero.
English-speaking Guide
An English-speaking guide on sightseeing days, scoped in the plan we send you.
Season Honesty
Summer grassland peak is real; winter is cold and brown/snow — we say so instead of fake green-meadow postcards.
No Shopping Stops
Routes stay on grassland, Ordos, and hub logistics. We do not insert shopping stops or industrial tourism heroes.

What Travelers Say
Verified TripAdvisor notes from travelers on DragonTrail private tours.
“Jason was wonderful! He was very responsive, had great insight on the best areas to hike, and was genuinely kind. As a solo female traveler I felt safe 100% of the time — I would definitely book again and recommend him to friends.

“Chuan is a terrific guide. Prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and just an all-around nice guy. We visited the mutianyu section of the Great Wall and the experience couldn't have been better! Highly recommended!!! Chuan is the best!
“Chuan was a great guide, a super driver and very accommodating of what we hoped to see — we had a memorable day. We highly recommend Chuan and Dragon Trail.

FAQ
Private for your group. The vehicle, guide days, and daily order are planned around your dates — not a set coach departure with shopping stops.
Plan about five to seven days when grassland and Ordos are both the point (Classic). Three to four days (Essence) keep Hohhot plus a nearby grassland overnight. Eight to twelve days (Highlights) add Hulunbuir and/or an Alxa spur.
No. We quote after we know your dates, party size, and which bases you want. Entrance tickets and activity choices stay in that quote.
Yes — that is the Essence shape. If you later want Ordos desert too, Classic is the usual upgrade.
Baotou English SERPs are polluted by rare-earth / industrial topics. We fold Baotou as rail/logistics only and never sell it as a commercial hero.
No. Summer is the green peak; winter is cold with brown or snow cover. We keep seasonality honest on quotes and guide pages.
Hulunbuir (and optionally Alxa) sit on the Highlights card when nights allow. Manzhouli and Xiangshawan micros are custom fold-ins — not a fourth set route.
Hohhot Baita Airport (HET), Ordos Ejin Horo Airport (DSN), Hulunbuir Airport (HLD for Highlights), Hohhot hotels, grassland / yurt area, or Ordos desert area. If you are still choosing a hotel, select “Not sure yet” and tell us the area in the note. A separate Hohhot private-driver product is different from this province tour commercial.
