Overview

An activity-packed journey into Central Mongolia, an area of diverse landscapes and the nomadic heartland of the country. See the sacred Mountain Khogno Khaan, and the dunes at Elsen Tasarkhai before venturing to the Hustai National Park for the wild Takhi “Przewalski” horses and a plethora of wildlife. This condensed trip is a great introduction to the rich diversity of Mongolia’s culture and landscapes, with authentic homestays in guest gers next to local nomadic families. Spend time with your hosts and also use these fabulous wilderness locations as a base to explore the surrounding area on foot, by horse, and by vehicle. You will experience a range of cultural traditions – cookery, ankle-bone games, milking, and herding, which may all feature at some stage along your way.
