ABOUT THE ROUTE

Western Mongolia is a mysterious land, of which many don’t know a word. Often this area is associated with a boring and monotonous landscape. We hasten to assure: «This is not so!» And this route is proof of this. The contrast of successive landscapes in this journey is worthy to call it exotic: snow caps of mountain peaks, boundless steppes, sandy deserts with barkhans, largest lakes, mountain and plain rivers, passes. This unique expeditionary tour covers the entire hollow of the drainless lakes of Mongolia. We will see all the largest lakes in the country, there will be 8 of them on our way! In addition, we will see and experience the life of real nomads. We will visit the places where the greatest empire of all times and peoples began to be formed — the Mongol Empire, the empire of Genghis Khan.
