An incredible journey to one of the world's most remote countries, where nomadic traditions still flourish
Home to a spectacular variety of landscapes, peoples and cultures, Mongolia is a land of wide horizons and bright, clear air. Across vast rolling steppe to the incredible Gobi Desert, we visit ancient Buddhist monasteries, and the capital of Genghis Khan's empire as well as national parks where herds of wild horses roam free. Whether it is searching for dinosaur fossils in the Gobi or supping fermented mares milk in a traditional nomadic encampment, this is a trip that will delight even the most jaded of travellers.
