Almost all Rustic Pathways programs interconnect! Many of our students take advantage of this by combining several programs - and often several countries - to build their perfect summer. Most programs have numerous departure dates which allow students the flexibility to travel at their convenience. We strongly encourage students to take advantage of their time in this fascinating part of the world.

Please note that we do not currently offer flight quotes for programs in the South Pacific (Australia, Fiji and New Zealand) because of scheduling conflicts.

We have tried our hardest to have a staff member on every flight; however, on short, non-stop flights there may not always be a flight leader. In these cases, students are always checked-in for their international flight by a Rustic Pathways staff member and met by a staff member upon arrival and after clearing customs.
Specifically, students traveling to Mongolia leave San Francisco on our escorted group flight to Seoul, South Korea and then connect from Seoul to Mongolia. While all of our international flights from the USA are escorted, please note that some our flights within Mainland Asia may not be escorted flights.
The airfares listed on the country pages are estimates only, and all airfares are subject to change without notice. Late applicants are sometimes unable to secure seats on our group flights or obtain the airfares indicated here. All airfares are subject to taxes, airport fees and fuel surcharges which vary according to airline and destination, and which are beyond our control. Rustic Pathways reserves the right to pass along any increases in these costs should this become necessary.
Students traveling to Mongolia are responsible for getting to San Francisco on their own. Due to frequent domestic airline delays pertaining to weather or mechanical problems, we require that you arrive in San Francisco a minimum of 4 hours prior to the departure time of the group flight.
All students not beginning their journey in San Francisco must pick up their bags from their domestic flights and recheck them for our international group flights. Please allow yourself enough time to pick up and check in your bags to our international group flights.
