This off-road adventure showcases some of the most spectacular, varied, and historically important sites in Mongolia. Traverse the country from north to south in four-wheel-drive vehicles and discover historic monasteries, ancient monuments, a fascinating traditional culture, and endless expanses of breathtaking scenery.

This epic expedition concludes in the magical landscapes of the Gobi, where the Flaming Cliffs tower above the vast desert and Bearded Vultures circle the skies above the extaordinary Yol Valley.
