But with so much to see and do here, it’s only natural that people would want to move about and explore. This adventure taps into the nomadic lifestyle embraced by almost 40% of the local population, travelling through ruggedly beautiful gorges and sandstone mountains in search of golden eagles, desert gazelles, and the Mongolian horse. And when you’re not moving, you’ll experience local...read more customs up close, exploring rural villages and sleeping in traditional ger tents.

Amazing adventure in Mongolia 2
Mel, Australia, Jun 2022
What an incredible experience this journey through Mongolia was. A lot of long driving days but such an amazing country with wonderful people. Our guide Oogi was one of the best guides I've ever had (and I've been on a lot of tours). Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting an adventure out of the ordinary.
