Nomadic Summer, Mongolia

AN EPIC SELF-DRIVE INTO MONGOLIAN STEPPES & DESERTS

When was the last time you woke up to discover your neighbours were nomads? Possessing a last-place-on-earth allure that is not easy to access, Mongolia shows up on the bucket list of every veteran traveler. One of the last surviving nomadic societies and half of them still living pastoral lifestyles, little has changed since the days of Chinggis Khan. Driving yourself a Nissan Patrol 4x4 across one of the greatest deserts in the world; discovering primordial fossils hidden within the flaming-red cliffs; watching the sun setting pink and purple over a Mongolian yurt. Very few experiences bring together offbeat adventure and epic road-tripping quite like this voyage across Mongolia's Gobi Desert. If mystery and intrigue is what you seek, then this expedition should be your pick.
