Explore Mongolia’s untamed landscapes, pristine grasslands, mountain steppes and the otherworldly Gobi Desert. Enjoy all the experiences that make Mongolia a fascinating place to visit. Staying in luxuriously appointed traditional gers and meeting local families of Mongolia’s eminently hospitable nomadic people—you will come to know more than a place, but a timeless way of life.
