New Trek in the beautiful Zavkhan Province – the Western part of Mongolia!
From Ulaanbaatar, we take a flight of up to 2 hours, covering over 1,000 km, to Uliastai in Zavkhan Province – one of the most beautiful and sparsely populated areas in western Mongolia.
Dreamlike lakes, in which the sky is perfectly reflected, incredible mountains marked by fascinating rock formations, and an indescribable panoramic view await us. Surrounded by endless, beautiful sand dunes that we will cross on horseback, we may come across wolf tracks and, if we are lucky, even the tracks of snow leopards in these pristine dunes.
We will also be able to admire the vast, open steppe, which is so well-known and characteristic of Mongolia, as well as the incredible starry sky from our camp in the evenings.
After 10 days of riding, you will fly back to Ulaanbaatar from Uliastai.
This is a trek you definitely should not miss, as it offers a truly unique landscape!
