DISCOVER
MONGOLIA FROM DESERT TO CRYSTAL LAKE
Heartwarming encounters with nomadic families
and an appreciation for the vast and ever-changing landscape make traveling
overland through Mongolia as enjoyable as reaching the destination. This epic
off-road adventure will traverse the entire country from south to north using
4-wheel-drive vehicles. Our extensive route is one of the most ambitious
off-road expeditions ever undertaken in Mongolia and we will encounter
undiscovered regions where the rest of the world seems a million miles and a
few hundred years away.
To the north we will explore ancient Lake Khuvsgul
by kayak, considered the cleanest freshwater lake left on the planet. To the
south we'll short camel trek through the mysterious desert the Gobi, wild and
untamed. And in between we'll be embraced by the endless steppe as we travel
with horseback, blanketed by the endless blue sky. From Yak to Kayak is one of
our most unique adventures, allowing you to explore an ancient land with
traditional modes of transportation.
