Walking Tours in Mongolia |
|
Have you already trekked around the world and are
looking for somewhere different for your next hiking
vacation ? How about a walking holiday in Mongolia
? Our treks and cultural adventures in Mongolia are in the most remote and
beautiful parts of the country - the Gobi Desert,
the Altai mountains in the west and Khangai mountain range in central Mongolia. Our hiking vacations
are usually 10 - 14 days and our prices are competitive,
starting from only GBP £1095 each for a group of 4
people. We do small group treks for up to 12 people,
tailor-made walking holidays for any number of people and hiking trips linked to social voluntary projects for school groups
and charity challenges.

During the 2013 season we have several
scheduled group vacations in Mongolia, suitable
for people of different abilities and interests:
Mount Kharkhiraa Trek 15th - 27th July 2013 in Western Mongolia 13 days hiking
vacation including 8 continuous days of trekking
up to altitudes of nearly 3000 metres in
the remote Altai mountains using pack camels to carry everything. The trek is graded
as "moderate" and requires a good level
of fitness.
Naadam Festival 6th - 14th July 2013 is a nine day holiday in Central Mongolia,
the highlight of which is the annual sporting
festival which we will join in one of the
small towns of Arkhangai province. This trip is
not a continuous trek, but allows time for individuals
to enjoy short day hikes at each of the beautiful
places where we stay.
Gobi Overland Expedition 14th - 23th August 2013 in the south of Mongolia. Travel by 4 x 4 jeep or expedition bus through Middle Gobi and on down to the real Gobi Desert near to the border with Inner Mongolia in China. There are some amazing sights of geographical, cultural and historical significance. Every day there will be some time spent walking in and around the places we visit.
Family Adventure 1st - 10th August 2013 in Central Mongolia. This exciting tour will be a lot of fun and includes some hiking, horse riding, camel riding and spending time with local families learning about their ancient nomadic culture. The children on the tour have a special children's guide.

Our
Tour Grading |
|
 |
Our
scheduled trek around Mount Kharkhiraa is classed as moderate, which means it
can be enjoyed by anyone who is reasonably fit and
takes regular exercise. On tailor-made treks the daily walking distances
vary from 15 - 25 km, and may have a support
vehicle. The main baggage will be carried by jeep,
horse or camel. Altitude is not usually a problem
as we are trekking at below 3000 metres. On cultural and overland trips in Mongolia the walking is optional and can be adapted to suit the participants.
