Overview

A Mongolia trip made of encounters. In Ulaanbaatar, Gandan monastery and a khoomi singer, the Mongolian throat singing. In the Gobi, a family of rangers at Baga Gazryn Chuluu, the Valley of the Eagles, the singing dunes of Khongor and, at Bayanzag, a family of camel herders.

Then Ongi monastery, being rebuilt, and Karakorum, with Erdene Zuu monastery and the archaeological museum. At Khar Balgas, the old Uyghur capital, you cook with a nomadic family, and in Hustai park you look for Takhi horses, the only wild horses left in the world.

The trip ends in Ulaanbaatar with a meeting with a shaman and a show of traditional music and dance. Italian-speaking guide and private gers.

Good to know

  • It is best to book at least 60 days ahead, especially for July and August.
