Step into the heart of Mongolian culture on this fully-inclusive tour, timed to coincide with the spectacular Naadam Festival. Held every July, this extraordinary celebration of nomadic heritage brings competitors from across the country together to battle it out through the legendary 'three manly sports' of wrestling, archery and horse racing.

Beyond the festival, Mongolia's wild beauty unfolds at every turn. From the sweeping steppe to the vast Gobi Desert, meet nomadic families, uncover ancient sites from the time of Genghis Khan and spot wild horses at Khustai, soaking in the quiet wonder of one of the world's last great wildernesses.

Carefully crafted to combine ease with extraordinary experiences, you'll travel with an expert National Guide, sleep in premium gers and cross dramatic landscapes in comfortable 4WD vehicles.

  • Orkhon Valley, Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • The Flaming Cliffs, Admire the striking red rocks of the Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag
  • Gobi Desert, Wander Mongolia’s largest dunes at Khongoryn Els, stretching dramatically across the Gobi.

Tour experiences:
  • Wild Takhi of Khustai National Park, Venture into the sweeping plains of Khustai and watch as herds of rare Przewalski's horses, or takhi, roam the steppe. This remarkable conservation success offers a glimpse into Mongolia's untamed past.
  • Sleep under the stars, Experience the nomadic lifestyle in comfort, sleeping in traditional ger camps with private en suite bathrooms, then unwind and recharge beneath the breathtaking, star-filled skies of the vast Mongolian steppes.
