Trip Activities


Trip length - our trips range in length from 1 to 4 weeks. Two weeks is the average trip length. For business travelers with little time to spare or those visiting Mongolia independently, we can also organize day trips to places close to Ulaanbaatar.
Transport - depending o n your itinerary and group size we fly o n domestic charters or commercial flights to remote areas and travel overland in well maintained Russian jeeps or minivans.
Guiding - creating colorful, discovery-oriented, natural trips that are safe and comfortable is the mission of our guides. We employ naturally curious and outgoing staff to ensure that they cater to the explorer in our clients.
Difficulty - the majority of our natural trips are designed to be 'moderate'. Due to the great distances that are covered o n unpaved roads, no trip through the countryside of Mongolia can be considered 'easy'. In a jeep tour the typical day will be no longer than 8 hours with plenty of stops o n the way to explore or enjoy other activities. Moderate trips feature hikes of no more than 2-3 km, and no more than 20 km horseback or camelback riding
Food - we provide a variety of both foreign and local cuisine o n our trips and are conscious of the need for adaptive menus, since the Mongolian diet tends to be heavy in meat. You will have meals in nice restaurants while in Ulaanbaatar and we make an effort to serve a mix of western and local cooking when you are staying in ger camps or camping out.
Accommodation - We lodge clients in comfortable hotels in Ulaanbaatar. In the countryside, we generally stay in ger camps with good amenities, including showers, bathrooms, and laundry services. Each ger has traditional wooden furniture and a wood burning stove, which will be lit o n cold evenings and before you wake up in the mornings to take the chill off. o n our more expeditionary style trips and in remote areas, we camp in tents. We are uses modern 2 person North Face & Vaude tents.
Travelers - We are can arrange trips suitable for nature lovers of any age. We will design custom itineraries for individuals and groups. Just inform us about group size, mean age, interests, and lodging preferences. It is possible for us to accommodate groups of any size, but a preferable group size for wildlife observation and exploration in remote areas is between 10 to 20 persons.
Dates - We can arrange trips beginning in late April (Gobi region) or May until the end of October. Outside of these dates, weather conditions may be unpredictable and cold.
