On This Trip
- Visit the Gandan Monastery in Ulaan Baatar
- Visit the dunes of the Gobi desert
- Experience nomadic life
Travelling from Ulaan Baatar through the Gobi desert region and on towards crystal lakes and ancient cities, this trip offers a truly unique opportunity to discover Mongolia, one of the world’s greatest undiscovered lands.
The trip takes in a wealth of contrasts, from the hustle and bustle of Mongolia's rapidly developing capital to the vast Gobi desert plains and on towards forested mountains, extinct volcanoes and secluded Buddhist monasteries.
The itinerary also offers the opportunity to discover Mongolia's nomadic and spiritual heritage through visits to traditional nomadic horse-breeding families and working places of worship offering an insight into a culture which has survived for centuries despite the hardships of the Soviet period.
In order to achieve maximum flexibility, choice and quality of service all our trips are arranged on a private basis so you will not be expected to share guides, transport, transfers and other aspects of the trip with any other person.
This itinerary can be undertaken at any time of year but clients should note that because of the extreme climate in Mongolia, (hot in the summer, very cold in the winter), the best time to visit the country is between May and early October, though the Gobi region can be hot in summer.
