Overview:

Central Mongolia is a region of stunning landscapes, historical significance, and rich cultural heritage. This tour offers a blend of natural beauty, ancient history, and traditional Mongolian lifestyle. Travelers can explore ancient capitals, scenic valleys, and experience the nomadic way of life.


During the central Mongolia tour, you will travel the semi-desert, visit the central Mongolian mountain steppes and part of northern Mongolian forested mountains with crystal clear water rivers, freshwater lakes, flower carpeted lands and basalt covered valleys. For you, every day will be interesting and surprising.

The landscape is ever-changing and reveals beauty in different ways every day. Another highlight of the tour is visiting as many nomad families as you wish to observe first-hand the uniqueness of traditional nomadic life and feel the heartwarming hospitality of your hosts, who are not informed in advance but always welcome visitors warmly.
