Wild Mongolia (including Amarbayasgalant)

Mongolia spent so long closed off that its scale and emptiness still catch people out. This trip takes you through vast grasslands, past crumbling ruins and into the homes of herding families, covering ground that was once the heart of the largest land empire in history.

Much of the trip happens on the road, travelling together by private transport through remote terrain with no fixed timetable beyond reaching camp before dark. The reward is staying properly close to the land — in tourist ger camps with shared basic facilities, and in family gers where you sleep on the floor and live as the nomads do.

This is a group experience built around the journey itself rather than a checklist of daily activities. If you're happy to sit back, take the long drives as part of the adventure, and adapt to simple, sometimes unpredictable conditions, the landscapes and the people you meet along the way carry the trip.
