The Altai Mountains, the largest chain in Central Asia, guard the farthest western reaches of Mongolia, at the point where China, Russia and Mongolia meet. The Tavan Bogd or ‘Five King Peaks’ are the highest peaks in the Mongolian Altai range, the highest reaching over 4000 meters. In the summertime, the region is full of colorful wildflowers. Kazakh and Uriankhai nomads roam the plains with their flocks of sheep and herd of horses, camels and sometimes even yaks, living in their traditional yurts, called gers in Mongolia. The Muslim Kazakhs are famed worldwide for hunting with their Golden Eagles. The Uriankhai are Buddhist, and hunt in a more traditional way with bows and arrows.

Our adventure trip across the mystic serene steppes of Mongolia will be by jeep, camelback, horseback, trekking and kayaking. Along the way, we will have an opportunity to view and visit a number of historically significant sites. A landlocked country in Central Asia, bordered on the north by Russia and on the east, south and west by the People’s Republic of China, Mongolia has been ruled over the centuries by a number of nomadic empires, including the Mongol Empire which was founded in 1206 by the legendary Genghis Khan.
