Ulaanbaatar to Ulaanbaatar – 13 days
The Mongolia Wilderness Expedition is a 13 day luxury journey through deserts, grasslands, sacred lakes and the heart of nomadic life. Starting in Ulaanbaatar you’ll visit Buddhist monasteries and museums before crossing the vast Gobi Desert and historic Ongi and Kharkhorin. From the Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag to the Singing Dunes of Khongoriin Els each day brings new landscapes and cultural encounters.
In the north the adventure continues at Khuvsgul Lake – the “Blue Pearl” of Mongolia – where you’ll hike, horse ride and meet the Tsaatan reindeer herders. Stay in a mix of handpicked luxury hotels and traditional-style ger camps that blend comfort with authenticity. This is a thoughtfully designed expedition for those who want nature, heritage and immersive travel all delivered with expert guidance and seamless service from Asian Geographical.

Explore the country’s cultural roots through expert led tours of historic landmarks, museums and sacred sites that connect Mongolia’s nomadic past with its modern identity.
GOBI DESERT’S NATURAL WONDERS: Travel deep into the Gobi to see the Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag, the Singing Dunes at Khongoriin Els and hidden canyons of Eagle Valley. Each destination reveals Mongolia’s wild beauty from shifting sands and fossil rich cliffs to lush valleys between rocky ridges.
LUXURY GER CAMPS & AUTHENTIC HOSPITALITY: Stay in beautifully designed ger camps that combine traditional Mongolian style with modern comforts. Enjoy warm hospitality, local cuisine and stargazing in desert or lakeside settings. Each camp is an unforgettable way to experience Mongolia’s landscape and nomadic culture.

The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.

Mongolia’s vast landscapes, untouched wilderness, and rich nomadic heritage have long inspired us at Asian Geographical.
