Mongolia Adventure Trips

A fantastic trip and a rare opportunity to explore such a remote part of the world. Based in the Altai Mountains on the border of China and Russia! We were very warmly welcomed by the Mongolian people and enjoyed the scenic walks and camping spots.

This was an absolutely fantastic trip! Our guide Samba was incredible: very knowledgeable about Mongolian history and culture, a capable mountain and hiking guide, in-control logistics organiser, and an all-round great person to spend two weeks with. We were blessed with perfect hiking weather, with only one quite cold night (in which I was grateful for my -15 sleeping bag), and otherwise blue skies and sunny warm temperatures. The hike itself I couldn’t recommend more highly. While the summit day was tough (approx 9 hours of difficult hiking, at altitude), the views over both Russia and Mongolia were spectacular. The other hiking days were more than manageable, with gentle sloping rambles across grassy plains and wildflowers, leaving us to enjoy relaxing evenings at camp. All our food on the hike was excellent, with a mix of local and western dishes. Us three vegetarians were very well catered for. We also had the opportunity to meet many nomadic people, visiting a few gurs along the way. Nothing felt ‘touristy’ or manufactured for our group. At the same time, Samba managed all the logistics and communication so capably that we were able to really relax and enjoy ourselves. I have no constructive or negative comments about the experience - we all had a fantastic time.

What an excellent trip: well-immersed in Mongolian / Kazakhi nomadic culture; hiking in the spectacular Altai Mtns; insightful discussion of Mongolian history. The support team was exceptional - professional, courteous, hilarious, talented - just brilliant.

In a country that has been occupied for thousands of years the natural beauty can be found minutes from Ulan Bator. If you like hiking, camping and interaction with locals this trip is for you. It is the best way to see this country and unplug from the world. Thats right much of the rural areas don't have wifi or cell service. But the beauty of he land is worth it. Highlights of the trip are staying overnight with a local herding family, getting to interact with them and their way of life. Part of the adventure is to experience life in a Ger where there's no plumbing or central electricity. We could try our hand at milking cows or yaks, interact with the goats and sheep and ride a camel. Definitely a wild and wonderful experience.
