Mongolia Panorama
 Mongolia
remains one of the world's last truly undiscovered adventure travel
destinations; a land of dramatic contrasts - from the rich colours of the
Gobi Desert to emerald-green seas of rolling grasslands dotted with herds
of horses and the snowy white dwellings of nomadic herders.
On this journey we discover the essence of Mongolia. Starting with an
introduction to Ulaanbaatar the Nation's
capital we travel by jeep, westwards, to the ancient capital of the Mongol
Empire - Karakorum.
Chinggis Khan chose the fertile plains of the Orkhon River
valley to build his capital, and today the Erdene
Zuu Monastery stands as a reminder of this once great city. From here we
swing southwards, first though the forests of the Khangai
Mountains, then into the northern Gobi desert. We enjoy free days meeting local
herders, trekking, horse riding and many nights camped under starry skies.
Reds and yellows of the Gobi
Desert make a
fantastic change to the lush green of the mountains and camels have
replaced herds of horses. We travel through the Gobi
experiencing dramatic scenery, wildlife, sanddunes and more. This region is
famous for dinosaur fossils and we will visit the flaming red cliffs of
Bayanzag. Our journey culminates with a short camel trek - to travel like
the locals - before returning to Ulaanbaatar.
A fantastic journey that literally takes in the heart and soul of
Mongolia - a Panorama from the lush forests of the Khangai Mountains
through to the rich colours of the Gobi - temples, camels, tents and more!
