This three-week adventure begins in the dramatic landscapes of the Gobi Desert, with its towering sand dunes and ancient canyons. From there we travel to the lush and culturally rich Orkhon Valley, the cradle of Mongolian civilization, then on to the forested mountains of Khangai. The journey continues to the deep blue waters of Lake Khovsgol, Mongolia’s most pristine lake, and ends at the serene and spiritual Amarbayasgalant Monastery. From desert to mountains, from steppe to sacred sites, this trip offers a vivid portrait of Mongolia’s natural beauty and nomadic soul.

Throughout the journey, accommodations are in comfortable ger camps except for two nights which are spent with a nomadic family. This is a special opportunity to experience and learn about traditional Mongolian nomadic life.

• 2 nights at Holiday Inn Hotel Ulaanbaatar
• 15 nights in Ger Camp
• 2 nights in Nomadic Family Stay

Lunch included at the park.

Explore Gorkhi-Terelj National Park with its stunning rock formations and peaceful nature. Visit Turtle Rock, Ariyaval Monastery, and a nomadic family to glimpse traditional Mongolian life.

The journey will take you to the heart of the Mongol Empire in Kharkhorin, where you can explore the ruins of Genghis Khan's capital. You'll then travel to the lush Orkhon Valley, where the fragrances of thyme and fresh herbs mix together, and the beauty of the landscape is paralleled by the warmth of the locals.
