Altay Tavan Bogd National Park

Vacation in Mongolia

All the best of Western Mongolia are combined in this tour

Vacation in Mongolia is an amazing trip for those people who love adventure and want to see more in Mongolia. During this trip you will be driving to Altai Tavan Bogd National Park and see 20 km long Potaniin glacier, do climbing up to Malchin peak which is higher than 4000 meters from the sea level, do one-day horse riding, short hiking, experience nomadic life, visit eagle hunter’s family and much more activities that combined in this tour!

We invite you to visit Western Mongolian most remote villages where China, Russia, and Kazakhstan are just a stone’s throw away. We invite you to experience people who live differently than you do. Thanks to their austere and rusting reality they have acquired a kind of freedom that not everyone is able to handle. Being with them you become different too as if you were living another life.
