Overland Expedition across Mongolia's Gobi Desert
Madagascar wilderness tour

AN EPIC SELF-DRIVE ACROSS THE LARGEST DESERT IN ASIA

Few places are, and feel, as sublimely remote as Mongolia's Gobi Desert, where a mystic silence reigns. It’s the largest desert in Asia and it’s not just the orange sands like you may be thinking and there is much more to it. On this epic motoring journey, you will be driving deeper into this great desert. Most of us avoid traveling absurd distances, but in Mongolia, you can’t get anywhere without one hell of a journey. This expedition exactly offer that, letting you explore places where not many have ever gone before.

Where you’ll Drive

The Gobi’s expansive dunes present a relentless driving challenge. Less than 5% of Gobi Desert is covered in sand dunes.

TWIN SHARING vs SOLO TRAVELER:

We recommend joining our expedition with a partner to enhance your experience. Sharing a vehicle allows you to alternate driving experience, ensuring a more relaxed and scenic journey.

When joining with a partner, accommodations will be arranged on a twin-share basis.

Nomadic Road's policy is to never team up strangers unless explicitly requested. However, if you're a solo explorer willing to partner with another solo traveller, we'll facilitate an introduction to ensure compatibility before pairing you together. In such cases, you'll share a vehicle but have the privacy of individual rooms.

A single supplement fee is applicable to have your own room.
If you're unable to find a partner to join the expedition with, you will be registered as a solo traveller.

We advise against having four adults in one vehicle, except for families with children, as it may compromise the driving experience and comfort for all parties involved.
