THE GREAT TREK TO THE WEST
What is the ultimate way of hiking through the most beautiful places of whole Mongolia? We designed specifically this 21-day journey to bring you to where hiking is all about: the experience of the active time, the amazement around the jaw dropping landscapes, the time to discover at your own pace, recover sometimes, but also to develop this feeling about being one with Nature. This all takes several days to develop at a personal level, so we think a 3-week time is perfect with our program here to make your hiking meet the greatest Mongolia.
From the surrounding highest mountains of the West with Kharkhiraa - mostly unexplored - to the unique features of the Mongol Sand National Park (the largest Gobi desert, lesser known or visited by the general public), crossing rivers, spending meditative times around the stillness of the pristine lakes, and a rather flatter terrain of the great grasslands, you will have them all.
But a human experience can only be complete with an immersion into the world of the locals, their ways and traditions, and so we will still keep what Mongolia is all about: its heritage based around the nomadic lifestyle.
We have done the legwork for you and have created an ultimate trip that not only offers the maximum number of adventure options but also puts you up in Luxury Sand Camping for a better rest, amazing panoramas and views over the regions when hiking on the high mountains, and some challenging excitements around the waters. An absolutely unforgettable journey, and tons of memories to bring back home.
