MONGOLIA9 - 16 AUGUST 2019

A NOMADIC ADVENTURE IN THE LAND OF GENGHIS KHAN

ADVENTURES

Wide-open spaces, cobalt blue skies, forests, deserts, crystal clear rivers and lakes, and the traditionalhospitality of the nomads.

Run or walk as far as your eyes can see; where land and sky are joined in a neverending line.

Permanent dwellings are few,with  little interruption in the landscapre, making it seem like one, large National Park.
