Tour 1: Central Mongolia
This is our "short and fast" tour.
While many people will think that it isn't even worth it to travel
to Mongolia for just one week, it is of course still better than
nothing if you don't have more time.
A short tour is also optimal for combination with other destinations,
such as China or Russia.
Please ask us for your preferred time period!
When your travel time is in july, then we will of course visit the Naadam festival, either in
Ulaanbaatar or in
Kharkhorin.
The itinerary will be adapted accordingly.
