My name is Ganji and my family run a small bakery in a small town called Tsenkhermandal which is located about 200km away from the capital city Ulaanbaatar. You may travel there by public bus. We can help you to arrange a bus ticket to get there. Tsenkhermandal is home to an impressive selection of attractions and experiences, making it well worth a visit. Population: 1'871
We would like to improve our English and make international friends therefore willing to host volunteers. In summer my mom and dad are permanent member at the bakery with my daughter Anu who is 14 years old. I often back in forth because of work. it's great place to stay for a while if you like nature and serenity.
You are more than welcome to volunteer to teach English for us only.
Welcome to Mongolia.
