Mongolia is a word evocative of vast open spaces, of nomadic herders and the thundering “devil's horsemen” of Genghis Khan.

Explore the natural and cultural wonders of Mongolia, one of Earth's last remaining wilderness frontiers.
Largely inaccessible to western travelers until recently, Mongolia offers a rare glimpse of an ancient nomadic culture that has changed little over the centuries.
Discover in this untouched land the rare combination of ancient Buddhist traditions, a nomadic horse-based culture and an incredible natural beauty - high mountains, vast grasslands, volcanic lakes and the expanses of the harsh Gobi Desert.

Mongolia's infrastructure is poor and the roads rough, but the rewards are incredible. Travel is by Russian 4WD van or jeep (with marvellous drivers) and you choose your preferred style accommodation - fully supported camping, or overnight in permanent Ger camps with restaurant and showers.
