Additional Information
/*Itinerary starting Ulaan Baatar 1 July:*/
Rolling steppe make way to stark desert; small nomadic ger camp pepper this
vast land where camels and goats are herded on horseback, fermented mare’s
milk is the tipple of choice, sand dunes are known to ‘sing’ and the
first intact dinosaur eggs were found. Genghis Khan went forth from here on
horseback to conquer the biggest land empire in history and, to this day,
Buddhist and Animist traditions mix. In July, all over the country, people
come together to compete in wrestling, archery, horse-racing and ankle bone
flicking during the Naadam Festival but traditions can be witnessed
throughout the year. We travel through steppe, mountain and the Gobi desert
exploring the nature and culture of this fascinating, yet little known,
country.
