Mongolia - Mongolian Panorama (18 days)
Explore the mountain glaciers, desert landscapes, large lake basins and steppe grasslands in far western Mongolia on this exhilarating journey. Starting in Ulaanbaatar, we fly to western Mongolia and head into the mountains, trekking to the impressive glacier at Turgen Mountain. A highlight will be the Naadam festival with its amazing displays of horse racing, archery and wrestling.
In the Altai Tavan Bogd National Park we undertake the second part of our trek, incorporating visits with local nomadic herders to learn about their traditional way of life from the eagle-hunting prowess of the Kazakhs to the hauntingly beautiful throat-singing of the Tuvan people. An option to extend your trip with a camel ride through the expansive Gobi Desert provides a panoramic journey of Mongolia.
