This tour will show you the contrasting faces of Mongolia’s two most popular destinations – the forested mountains and clear blue waters of Lake Khövsgöl, and the vast open space of the Gobi Desert. Despite the changing landscape, the nomadic life remains unchanged, be it yaks in Khövsgöl or camels in the Gobi, animals are central to survival in Mongolia and you will be able to witness first hand some of the age old traditions of the herding life that are still very much in use in Mongolia today.
