Would you like an unusual vacation away from the tourist crowds ? Would you like to live an unforgettable experience and see breathtaking landscapes?
Welcome to Mongolia, where you can travel for days without seeing a single human being. Crossing vast distances on horseback or jeep, you’ll come across antelopes, wolves, yaks, camels and free-roaming horses. You’ll also come across isolated villages and yurt encampments.
Excursion to the Gobi Desert
Mongolia’s most emblematic destination, it is the largest desert in Asia and accounts for 20% of Mongolian territory.
Khongor Els dunes
Sand dunes stretching over 180 kilometers long and up to 300 meters high. A sublime sight when the dunes, nicknamed “singing dunes”, begin to emit a sound created by the friction of the sand between them.
This region is home to a large number of camel breeders, giving you the opportunity to learn more about these animals and, above all, to take a long ride on their backs.
Bayanzag cliffs
Famous for the saxaul, a globally endangered plant that grows in the Gobi Desert. The area is also famous for its “red sand” cliffs, now called “flaming cliffs” for their red and ochre colors.
Ongi Monastery
The valley near Ongi Monastery offers spectacular views of many migratory species: passerines, warblers and thrushes. All the while enjoying the soothing, spiritual ambience of the place.
After a good day’s hiking in the Gobi Desert, take in the magic of the starry sky like you’ve never seen it before.
Khentii Province
Very wild, it’s a great opportunity for trekking and horse-riding in the valleys. You’ll meet nomads with whom you can talk. The landscape combines steppes, valleys, mountains, lakes and rivers, promising cosy nights under the stars.
Khentii province abounds in cold, pristine rivers. The primary activity that lends itself to this landscape is angling. A relaxing afternoon in an idyllic setting for fishing enthusiasts.
Experiences not to be missed
- Sleeping in a yurt The yurt remains the Mongolian people’s main habitat. If you’re curious, you can admire how they assemble and dismantle yurts in just a few hours. And above all, discover the layout of this living space.
- Travelling the country on horseback or camelback As mentioned above, the spaces are immense, and exploring them on the back of an animal represents an immense opportunity.
- Ride the Trans-Mongolian Railway Another fabulous way to discover the country. This train crosses the country slowly, and is rarely used by tourists, giving you the chance to meet and chat with Mongolians.
