Trekking & Camping
Traverse the Mongolian steppe with a mix of backpacking and 4x4 off-roading
We can customize trekking and camping tours throughout all regions of Mongolia. Accommodation varies from waterproof tents to nomadic family Gers or Yurts with stove-heating inside.
One of our most popular trek tours is through the Altai Bogd National Park on the border of Western Mongolia:
The dramatic steep valley, surrounded by snowcapped mountains from the south, is where many Kazakh nomadic families spend their summertime. Even people from Olgiy city who have relatives here like to pass their vacations in this serene place. The area is very famous for its hot springs; a lot of locals come here to receive their healing treatments. Fishing is not a main pursuit for nomads, but if they have the free time, they sometimes fish here. The melt water from Altai Tavan Bogd is a critical source for the lakes’ eco-system.
The mix of lakes, rivers, mountains and forests makes this not only a haven for fauna, but also a great place for riding, hiking and other outdoor pursuits. On horseback in Mongolia, the world is at your doorstep. What greater freedom is there than to ride through this snow-capped, mountainous, lake-filled landscape without the restrictions of roads and paths? From the saddle, look out for ibex, Altai marmot, and golden eagles. Elk, wolves, brown bears, hares, lynx and the very rare snow leopard also inhabit this area.
