Mongolia
Mongolia is the vast territory north of China and south of Siberia at the very top of true Asia . Here reindeer and camels meet each other in a huge void with pristine landscapes and where, to this day, almost half the population still lives as nomads on horseback. In terms of Asia , we offer the opposite of typical: no crowds, few roads, and pristine landscapes. In many ways, its nature and culture are similar to 2000 years ago. Mongolians still live in yurts (gers), and many are still on horseback tending their livestock, throughout the cold winters and temperate summers.
 

At Nomadic Journeys, we are directly connected to our nomadic heritage, and we are what our name is: truly nomadic. We use simple technologies that have been appropriate for the Mongols since time immemorial. Yet, we have added a few simple western amenities to create the unique travel concept that we offer today. We have five fully collapsible ger (yurt) camps so we can provide more than just basic comforts. These are totally dislodged from their sites in winter and may be put up in slightly different places the next year. We do rugged expeditions, including wintertime ice skating expeditions. We have offered courses in traditional medicine for doctors. We have hosted many film teams, corporate events, and teambuilding activities. Nomadic Journeys also offers some of the most unique and innovative horseback expeditions in the country, as well as manages some of the best fisheries on the Onon River and its tributaries, one selected area of some 3800 rivers that we have in the north of the country. We work alongside wildlife conservation groups and offer snow leopard tracking programs with The International Snow Leopard Trust. We also offer birding trips.

Nomadic Journeys was created in 1992, when private entrepreneurship was made possible due to the changes in the former Soviet Union . We were among the first privately owned tour companies. Nomadic Journeys was founded by Jan Wigsten, native of the island of Gotland ( Sweden ) in the Baltic Sea and Ravdan Enkhtaivan's family. Apart from winter expeditions, we are open June through September.
