The Mongolian Gobi Desert is the world's sixth-largest desert and Asia's second-largest. Unlike typical sandy deserts, it features vast steppes and vegetation, making it home to many camel herders. Its immense size and sparse population create a tranquil atmosphere filled with mysteries.

During our journey, we will visit remarkable sites like Vulture Canyon (Eagle Valley), the Khongor sand dunes, and the Bayanzag flaming cliffs, known for their late Cretaceous dinosaur fossils. 

Discover the wonders of Mongolia's majestic Gobi and explore Terelj National Park and the Chinggis Khan Equestrian Statue complex. Exciting adventures await- join us!

I believe that travel should inspire a deep sense of responsibility for the planet we inhabit. This conviction drives our commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism, a value instilled in me by my father, a passionate preservationist and traveler. As a child, I ventured with him into the wild mountains and expansive fields, where he taught me the significance of safeguarding our natural heritage. His influence guided me to become a tour guide for many years and ultimately led to the founding of a sustainable travel operator.

    This was one of my favorite trips of all time. From the very beginning Tsatsa was incredibly helpful and patient. She genuinely cares about her customers. The tour guide and driver assigned to us were wonderful. They made sure we were doing what we wanted to do every step of the way. I had mentioned a few extra areas of interest to Tsatsa, and she found some events outside of the itinerary that made the trip even more exciting for us. We did a 4-day tour with a driver and an English-speaking tour guide. It was a 4- days tour that included our meals, a visit to the national museum in Ulaanbaatar, seeing the wild horses at Hustai National Park, Elsen Tasarkhai dunes and a stay at the ger camp, and some additional activities that we added on. The highlight for me was the ger camp and the wild horses. I would suggest going in October or even later as it is rather chilly outside, which makes the ger quite cozy. Don't worry about being cold or uncomfortable - the coal / wood stove very well heated the ger and was also well-insulated. The beds were also super comfortable. At the ger camp, we had a wonderful dinner with our tour guide Zula, and driver Ochiro. Zula was full of stories and anecdotes about Mongolian history and life. She made our experience so much more fascinating. Other people from around the world joined the conversation during the meal at Hustai National Park tourist camp. We stayed up late, drinking beer with our new friends. It was truly one of those fantastic life memories. Throughout our 4 days, if we wanted to stop somewhere, it wasn't a problem. If you have a question about something on the side of the road, pull over and have a look with your tour guide! I wish I could put into words how amazing this experience is. It was worth every penny.

    I truly recommend this experience to everyone! The team delivered much more than I expected. The guide Bolor is experienced and knows in-depth about local cultures and Buddhism and is always thinking about the next step of the trip, organizing every single thing like lunches without waiting, quick and convenient entry to the sites. Odhuu drives carefully on a bumpy road. The car was comfortable and new, convenient for a road trip. They do everything to make you happy and get to know deeply this nomadic culture that they have in Mongolia so far. Everyone is kind and friendly!
