MONGOLIA

Nomadic Mongolia

Duration

14 days, 13 nights

Long after the reign of Genghis Khan, nomadism remains a way of life in modern Mongolia. Experience local customs up close, exploring rural villages and sleeping in traditional Mongolian yurts.

This adventure taps into the nomadic lifestyle embraced by almost half of the local population, traveling through ruggedly beautiful gorges and sandstone mountains in search of golden eagles, desert gazelles, and the Mongolian horse. Drive to the Middle Gobi desert, and stop at the Choir Monastery on the way. Spend the night at the first Mongolian ger camp. Yolyn Am is a narrow gorge in the Gurvan Saikan mountains, an amazing place for hiking.

You will immerse yourself in the wonders of the Gobi Desert by visiting the biggest sand dunes in the western Gobi, then meet a nomadic camel-herding family, and even try riding a Bactrian camel.

Explore the Flaming Cliffs - a world renowned archaeological site for the vast amount of dinosaur bones and eggs found here. In the ancient capital of Mongolia, Karakorum, visit the home of Mongolian wild horses in their natural habitat.

Drive back to the capital for last minute sightseeing. Opt to see a local cultural show, an excellent display of dancing and Mongolian throat singing.

Mongolia is unlike any other place in the world and you will be forever changed.
