See the sweeping deserts and rolling grasslands, visit nomads and join the Nadaam festival celebrations with the locals!
The colourful history of Asia hangs brightly on Mongolia’s sleeve, from ancient times through to the rise and fall of communism. Alongside the temples and museums is a surfeit of natural and human wonders – the singing sands of Khongoriin Els, the dramatic landscape in Khustai National Park, and the exciting Nadaam Festival!

Is this trip right for you?
-
One of the greatest things about Mongolia is that much of the countryside is virtually untouched by human development – this makes for some very long travelling days on this itinerary though, many of them on unpaved roads.
-
You will experience staying in Mongolian gers on this trip, but please be aware that this is on a twin-share basis, and the camps have shared bathroom facilities.
-
This is a trip into remote areas of Mongolia far from facilities such as internet, banks, supermarkets and hospitals. You need to be in excellent health to participate and get the most out of this tour and ensure you have any medication or supplies you need with you.
-
The itinerary will vary depending on the dates when you are in Ulaanbaatar as the Naadam Festival is on 11&12 Jul. Please consult your agent for the exact day to day itinerary. Your leader will be able to give you the most up to date itinerary at the group meeting too. At any time of the year, last minute changes may be necessary due to local weather and road conditions.
