Trekking

Here you will find a selection of treks that are offered as fixed departures. They are very much similar in service level to a Himalayan trek, the difference being that we travel with Mongol herdsmen, their animals, be it camels, yaks or horses, depending on the location we are in. And all equipment and luggage’s loaded on to the traditional carts. You will need to click on the Camel Trek, Yak Trek etc to the left.

Camel carts are usually used in the more arid Gobi areas, and but also in true steppe. Yaks, mostly in northern high elevation areas where precipitation is higher. Certainly yaks in Arhangai, Hövsgöl and northern Töv provinces. In the Buryat areas of Hentii, horse carts are used.

We usually trek no more than 15-20 km a day if over level ground. And shorter in the mountain’s. We provide Therma Rests for sleeping comfort, and Hilleberg three-person tunnel tents, shared by two participants. A ger (yurt) is usually brought along as a "mobile restaurant" if there are 7 or more participant’s in the group. Our standards are maximum twelve to one group, to keep the experience small and intimate. Treks are always camping trips.
