West Mongolia Journey | Kharkhiraa Turgen Trek, Sand Dunes, Lakes & Nomads

Explore Mongolia, the incredibly diverse, sublimely beautiful ‘Land of the Eternal Blue Sky’, on an epic journey in western of Mongolia, including a Kharkhiraa + Turgen Mountains trek, the trip specially crafted for Kamzang Journeys. Our Western Mongolia trip is a one of a kind trip to Mongolia, led by Mongolian guides and experts. A seasoned travel writer once told me that his soul left his body to enter the rich earth of Mongolia …Mongolia is a remote Central Asian land of boundless space and sky, endless golden steppes, sparkling lakes and rivers, shifting sand dunes, a cradle of nomadic people and their horses, a land of diverse ethnic groups and sublimely beautiful landscapes.

Steeped in legend, mythical Mongolia is the fabled land of Gengis Khan who conquered much of the modern world, of nomads on horseback, eagle hunters, felt gers backed by snow capped peaks, Bactrian camels, rare wildlife and both Shamanistic and Tibetan Buddhist traditions and monasteries.Our Mongolia journey features a great trek in the Kharkhiraa mountains, the world of the Kazakh nomads, journeys through desert and sand dunes, visits to nomadic gers, where Mongolians herd their Bactrian camels, photographing Mongolia’s eagle hunters and experiencing their unique way of life, Mongolia’s beautiful mountain lakes, rivers and snow peaks, hiking in the Tsambagarav National Park, otherworldly sand dunes, wild horses, exploring Buddhist monasteries and more!

Our Mongolia trip does it all in style, staying at atmospheric ger camps, camping and eating with nomads as well as in our comfortable camps. The driving is structured so that we see the maximum amount of the diversity of Mongolia, with lots of free time interspersed for hiking, exploring, visiting Mongolians in their gers and photography. Add on a trip to the Gobi Desert! Join us for our adventures in Mongolia!

NOTE | You must be booked on the trek – with flights booked and deposits paid – to get an invitation to Mongolia for your Mongolia visa.
