For awe-inspiring scenic beauty Mongolia has few rivals, and this journey is one of our most popular introductions to its extraordinary biodiversity. Experience the hospitality of Mongolia's nomads while exploring a wide variety of landscapes, from the clear waters of Lake Hovsgol in the far north to the magnificent Gobi Desert in the south.
 
Mongolian Vistas begins in the forests of Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, which includes the southern Khentii Mountain Range and the confluence of the Terelj and Tuul Rivers, and is home to endangered musk deer and moose. The journey continues to Lake Hovsgol, believed by scientists to be the cleanest freshwater lake on the planet, before traveling overland to the former site of Kharakhorum, the 13th-century capital of the Mongol Empire. Mongolia's largest monastery, Erdene Zuu, was built nearby during the 16th century, reputedly from the remnants of this once-thriving city. The adventure concludes in the Gobi Desert, where towering sand dunes can be explored from the back of a Bactrian camel.
