Mongolia is an ideal trekking destination for those who want to get away from city life and enjoy wilderness. Group trekking/hiking through thick pine forests, crossing high mountain passes, hopping over streams and boulders are all only small parts any trekking/hiking trip in Mongolia.
Mongolian nomads have been living in harmony with nature for centuries and travelling without a trace long before it was trendy.
The nomads migrate seasonally with their livestock, packing up their ger on yaks or camels and traipsing across the fresh pastures of the mountains and hills around.
Just like that, our treks will be supported by a local team, and all equipment and luggage will be carried by pack animals throughout the trip.
