Come enjoy the least-most populated Country on Earth! Least Most? That made sense right? The 18th largest country has Vast Wild Expanses of beautiful land and a Nomadic Culture that is Famous for its warmth and hospitality. We’ll visit a Nomadic Tribe for a few days, experiencing traditional Nomadic Mongolian lifestyle, cuisine, horse riding and more. A trip to a Mongolian Shaman to help clear the spirits, then a trip to the Gobi Desert, which is the coldest Hottest desert in the World. Now I’m just messing with you right? The Gobi desert can reach temperatures of -20°C (-4°F) and this is why we are going in September! But it’s again, a vast beautiful plane home to wild horses and the endangered and indigenous Bactrian Camel. Mongolia is truly one the last wild places on earth. The perfect place to rediscover silence.
