Endless views of breathtaking mountains, valleys, steppes and rolling sand dunes set Mongolia apart from the rest of the world. Even the desert is transformed into a majestic landscape with the setting sun. But Mongolia’s true beauty comes not only from its gorgeous scenery but also from the smiling faces of nomadic children and the kind, hospitable nature of its people. Immerse yourself in the traditional Mongolian way of life during a welcoming home stay, explore the mysterious landscapes of the Gobi Desert, and retrace the footsteps of the legendary Genghis Khan on the back of a horse, the animal that helped build his mighty empire. We are excited to venture into this immense and beautiful country and hope you will join us on one of our amazing new programs.
