Mongolia

The last nomadic frontier: infinite steppes, wild horses, gers under the stars and the legacy of Genghis Khan

Mongolia is one of the last places on the planet where nomads still live as they did centuries ago: in gers (yurts) that move with the seasons, raising horses, yaks and goats on steppes that stretch to the horizon. It is adventure in its purest state.

Mongolia is the least densely populated country in the world: 3 million people in a territory five times Spain. Most of the population lives in Ulaanbaatar, leaving the rest of the country practically empty. It is one of the last wild places on Earth. Nomadic life remains alive here. Families migrate with their herds according to the seasons, live in gers (yurts) they assemble and disassemble in hours, and maintain traditions dating back to Genghis Khan. Being invited into a ger, sharing tea with milk and airag (fermented mare's milk) is one of the most authentic experiences on the planet. But Mongolia is also extreme nature: the Gobi Desert with its fossilized dinosaurs, the crystalline lakes of the north, the Altai mountains where they hunt with eagles, the steppes where the last wild horses gallop. A country for those seeking the genuine.

Central Mongolia

Classic steppes: Karakorum (Genghis Khan's ancient capital), Erdene Zuu monastery, nomadic families, horses and the heart of Mongolian culture.

Gobi Desert

The great Asian desert: Khongoryn Els dunes, Bayanzag cliffs where dinosaur eggs were found, Yol canyon. Martian landscapes.

Lake Khövsgöl

Baikal's younger sibling: Mongolia's largest lake, crystalline water, Siberian taiga, reindeer and the Tsaatan (reindeer people).

Altai Mountains

The remote west: snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and Kazakh hunters who hunt with golden eagles. The eagle festival is in October.

The infinite steppes

Horizons that never end, enormous skies, herds of horses galloping free. Mongolia's steppes are one of the last great wild spaces on the planet.

Experiences

Mongolia offers experiences that don't exist anywhere else: sleeping in yurts with nomads, riding through infinite steppes, watching eagle hunts, finding dinosaur fossils.

Sleep with nomads

Spending the night in a nomadic family's ger: sharing tea, food, stories. Watching them milk mares, tend herds. Pure hospitality.

Ride across the steppe

Riding tough Mongolian horses through infinite landscapes. From a few hours' ride to multi-day expeditions sleeping in gers.

Gobi dunes

Climbing the Khongoryn Els dunes at sunset: 100 meters of sand in the middle of the desert. Watching the sun set over the Gobi is unforgettable.

Eagle Festival

In October, Kazakh hunters compete with their golden eagles. Riders in furs, enormous eagles, snowy mountains. A centuries-old tradition.

The legacy of Genghis Khan

History's greatest conqueror was born on these steppes. Karakorum was capital of the largest empire ever known. Mongolia still venerates its most famous son.

Mongolia has ger camps of different levels: from basic to premium with private bathroom. The most authentic experience is sleeping with nomadic families.
