We invite you to explore with us the land of striking beauty and diversity, from the Gobi Desert to the towering mountains of western Mongolia.

Below, we explain why travelling to Mongolia is becoming more and more popular.

1: Mongolia is a paradise for nature-lovers. There you will see the Gobi Desert, steep mountains, dense forests, great lakes and endless plain steppes. You will encounter a variety of faces and the mysteries of Mother Nature on your Mongolian tour.

2: Mongolia is one of the few countries in the world that has kept its nomadic culture and tradition. Half of its population lives a nomadic lifestyle just as it has for thousands of years. You will see how Mongolian nomads live in harmony with Mother Nature and how deeply their respect for nature is embedded in their culture and traditions. Nowhere else in the world, you can find Mother Nature showing every possible facet, so well blended with the life of the nomadic people who have lived there for thousands of years.   

3: Mongolia offers great opportunities for adventure seekers.  Our adventure tours in Mongolia will give you thrills that you can experience nowhere else. For example, horseback riding in Mongolia, trekking the same route as Chinggis Khan did eight hundred years ago is an adventure that only few can experience.  Mongolia's thousands of steep, Rocky Mountains are just perfect for hikers, mountain bikers, and climbers. Her fast-running rivers are challenging to rafters. There are thousands of possibilities for hunters in her steppes and mountains, with their populous animal kingdom. Anglers can fish in her freshwater rivers and lakes for an exciting experience. There are 25 rivers more than 200 kilometers in length. Mongolia has more than 3000 lakes with an area of a half a square mile or more.  The freshwater rivers and lakes of Mongolia are home to some 70 species of fish, including salmon, taimen, grayling, perch and pike.

4: Mongolia is a country with a great history.   The first empire on what is currently Mongolian territory was established two thousand years ago. Since then the Mongolian steppe has witnessed the rise and fall of several empires of nomadic warriors. At their peak, Mongolian warriors built the greatest empire in human history under the Great Chinggis Khan and his successors.  The territory of the Great Mongolian Empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean to Hungary and from Russia to the Korean Peninsula.   When you travel to Mongolia, you will have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of some of the great leaders in history. You will find the birthplaces and tombs of the Great Khans and Queens, and Buddhist temples that have histories lasting hundreds of years. Also, as one of the homes to ancient people, Mongolia preserves the traces of human life back to the Stone Age.  Archeological findings prove that people were living in the Mongolian territory thousands of years ago. There are hundreds of stone monuments and cave stone pictures drawn as early as the Stone Age.

5: Mongolia’s fauna and flora and eternal blue sky provide great opportunities for scientific experts or anyone who enjoys watching birds and observing stars and flowers.
