A 14-day journey between the steppes and mountains of Mongolia.
Despite the vastness of the country, Mongolia has only about 4,000 kilometers of paved roads, with an extensive network of around 50,000 kilometers of tracks that allow access to the most remote areas.
You will be accompanied by your French or English-speaking guide, experienced in navigating the central steppes to reach the Siberian forests of Khuvsgul Province, and the lake of the same name, known as "the Blue Pearl of Mongolia."
Your itinerary will include stops to dine at small local inns and savor the distinct specialties and flavors of each region.

Enjoy a beautiful traverse of the central region towards the north, with cultural visits, some relaxation, and a glimpse of Mongolia's diverse landscapes: the desert area of Central Gobi (Khogno Khan), the lush pastures of Khangay, and finally, Khuvsgul Lake, the Blue Pearl of Mongolia, surrounded by mountains reaching 2,700 meters, where forest and taiga meet.
