This June, we are launching something truly special.
For the first time ever, Great Nomad Expeditions is offering a 23-day, full-circle journey across Mongolia — a one-of-a-kind expedition that brings together every iconic nomadic experience into one seamless adventure.
This is not just a trip.
It is a complete immersion into Mongolia’s landscapes, animals, and living traditions.
🐴🐪🐂🦌 Four Species. One Epic Journey.
Over 23 days you will ride:
Horses across the birthplace of Chinggis Khaan
Camels through the vast Gobi
Yaks in the highlands of Övörkhangai
Reindeer in the remote north near Khuvsgul
No other expedition offers this combination in an achievable package for riders who want to experience it all without gruelling hours and speed in the saddle.
🌏 The Journey
Your adventure begins and ends in Ulaanbaatar, with airport pick-up and drop-off included
From there starting in Khentii we travel in a carefully designed loop across Mongolia, blending vehicle support with riding days to ensure depth of experience without unnecessary exhaustion.
Highlights include:
The towering Chinggis Khaan Statue at Chonjin Boldog
Riding in the sacred Khentii Mountains
Baldan Bereeven Monastery and historic Andlalyn Monument
The spiritual energy of Khamriin Khiid
The dramatic rock formations of Ikh Gazryn Chuluu
The iconic red cliffs of Tsagaan Suvarga
Camel riding in the Gobi
Yak riding near the remote Naiman Nuur
Ancient Kharakhorum and Shankh Monastery
Arkhangai’s hot springs
Volcanic landscapes at Khorgiin Togoo
High mountain passes and remote northern valleys
Reindeer riding near Ivt Mountain
The breathtaking shores of Khuvsgul Lake
Across deserts, mountains, steppe and taiga forest — this expedition shows you the full diversity of Mongolia in one extraordinary arc.
Authentic Cultural Immersion
What makes this journey truly special is not just the landscapes or animals — it’s the people.
Throughout the expedition we:
Stay with multiple nomadic herder families
Share meals inside traditional gers
Learn directly about camel herding, yak culture, reindeer life and horse traditions
Travel in a way that supports and respects local communities
This is not staged tourism.
It is authentic, supportive, and deeply connected to real nomadic life.
🗓 23 Days. One Complete Mongolia.
From the sacred lakes of Khentii to the Gobi Desert, through central volcanic highlands and into the reindeer lands of the north, this is Mongolia in its entirety.
It is bold.
It is diverse.
It is culturally rich.
And it is unlike anything else we have ever offered.
If you have dreamed of seeing all of Mongolia — not just one region — this is your moment.
Places are limited.
Come ride camels in the desert.
Ride yaks in the highlands.
Ride reindeer in the north.
And experience Mongolia in a way very few ever will.
With excitement,
Chloe Phillips-Harris
