Mongolia Heritage Tours

Open to all Mongolian adoptees and adoptive families!

Join us in Mongolia in 2026!

From the vibrant capital city of Ulaanbaatar to the sweeping landscapes of Terelj National Park and the Gobi Desert, tour participants will experience Mongolia together as they reconnect with their birth country and explore its rich history, culture, and traditions.

Holt International Children’s Services began working in Mongolia in 2000 and has supported children and families throughout the country ever since. With this history and knowledge, Holt is uniquely qualified to offer a special experience for you and your family.

Participants will visit the Holt Mongolia office for orientation and adoption file reviews, meet with childcare providers and orphanage staff, and have the opportunity to visit significant personal locations such as former orphanages or discovery sites when available. Families will also engage with Mongolian culture through visits to important national landmarks, meetings with government officials and U.S. Embassy staff, and immersive experiences in the countryside.
