Ulaanbaatar, Central Mongolia, Southern Mongolia
Min 4 - Max 10
This 2 weeks overland journey offers a sweeping exploration of Mongolia’s most iconic regions—from the towering dunes of the Gobi Desert to the volcanic lakes of Central Mongolia, the alpine forests of the north, and the shimmering shores of Lake Khuvsgul, often called the Blue Pearl. Travelers cross open steppe, desert sands, forested passes, and mountain roads, encountering camel herders, yak and horse families, and reindeer caretakers along the way. What sets this journey apart is its rhythm: moving daily, adapting to the land, and gradually becoming part of it. As the days unfold, guests begin to feel less like visitors and more like nomads, attuned to the silence of vast spaces and the warmth of local hospitality. By the end, many find they haven’t just seen Mongolia—they’ve lived it, and fallen in love with its spirit.

<p>At Ger camps, you’ll stay in traditional felt-covered dwellings called Ger—meaning “home” in Mongolian. Each Ger is typically furnished with 2–4 single beds or a double bed, plus basic furniture. Most camps offer hot showers and flush toilets in shared facilities located a short walk from your Ger. Meals are served in on-site restaurants, featuring both Mongolian and Western cuisine.</p> <p>Some camps offer Ensuite Gers with private bathrooms. Electricity is supplied either by the state grid, or by generators, solar panels, or wind turbines, depending on location. In camps relying on alternative power sources, device charging is limited to shared areas—usually in the restaurant or common spaces—and available only during designated hours. Camps connected to the grid allow unlimited charging directly in your Ger.</p> <p>Wi-Fi is typically available in common areas, often powered by Starlink for strong connectivity. However, in remote regions with no mobile reception, internet access may be unavailable.</p>
<p>Some our tours include airport transfers, while others do not—this depends on the tour type and logistical arrangements. Please review your itinerary carefully to understand what is included.</p> <p>If your tour includes an airport transfer, it applies only to arrivals on Day 1 of the scheduled program. To ensure a smooth pickup, please enter your flight details accurately in the How To Book form. Upon arrival, look for our representative holding a sign with your name in the Arrivals area—they will guide you to the designated vehicle or bus.</p> <p>If your tour does not include transfers, or if you arrive before Day 1, you’ll need to arrange your own transportation to the hotel. </p>
<p>In cities and towns, guests can enjoy a wide range of familiar foods and drinks. At Ger camps, meals are prepared based on your booking and location—meats may include sheep, goat, camel, yak, horse, or cow, depending on the region. Mongolian livestock graze freely, making the meat naturally healthy and flavorful. Dietary requests (vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, lactose intolerance etc.) must be submitted in writing during booking, as they cannot be arranged on arrival. Tea, water, and morning coffee (instant or brewed) are served; espresso drinks may cost extra. Camp bars offer alcoholic beverages, mineral water, soft drinks, and canned sodas for purchase.</p>
<p>During our tours, overland travel is arranged using vehicles suited to group size and terrain. We use Japanese 4x4 off-road jeeps for up to 4 people total (including driver), larger jeeps for up to 5, travel vans for 6–7, and buses for up to 16. All vehicles are equipped with left-hand steering, in line with Mongolia’s right-side driving regulations.</p> <p>Our drivers are responsible for maintaining daily cleanliness and tidiness of the vehicles, managing luggage loading, and ensuring water supplies are stocked. Any forgotten belongings are carefully returned to their owners by our team.</p>
<p>We recommend carrying Mongolian Tugrug (MNT) during your tour, as it is widely accepted at markets, shops, ger camp bars, and souvenir stalls. Debit and credit cards are generally usable in cities and towns and Ger camps but POS machines may be unreliable in remote areas. For convenience, it’s best to carry both cash and cards. While prices are shown in foreign currency for reference, payments should be made in Tugrug, as foreign currencies are not commonly accepted.</p> <p>As a guide for the 2026 season:<br /> - A handmade souvenir may cost around USD 7,<br /> - A loaf of bread USD 1,5 <br /> - A cashmere scarf USD 35,<br /> - A 500 ml beer at a ger camp bar around USD 4.</p>
<p>Our tours include optional riding experiences on horses, camels, or yaks, depending on the region and itinerary. When mounting, guests should approach the animal from the left side, place one foot in the stirrup and hold the reins securely, and sit balanced on the saddle or carpet. The reins are used to guide the animal—pulling left turns the head left, pulling right turns the head right, releasing allows free movement, and gently pulling inward signals the animal to stop.</p> <p>For safety and comfort, we kindly ask guests to avoid loud noises, waving scarves, or loose hats. Flip-flops and shorts are not recommended; closed shoes and long trousers are preferred. Please apply insect repellent and handle cameras or phones carefully, as sudden drops may startle the animal.</p>
<p>You’ll find a comprehensive packing guide in our Mongolia Travel Guide section. For this off-road motorcycle tour, we’ve provided a tailored list to support your preparation. This list is advisory, not mandatory. Experienced travellers with established packing routines and preferences are welcome to follow their own setup.<br /> </p> <p> </p>
