Khuvsgul / Northern Taiga · Signature Journey
A seven-day winter journey to our family's lakeside resort and beyond into the taiga, anchored by the Blue Pearl Ice Festival, deep-winter Tsaatan reindeer herder visits, frozen Khuvsgul photography, and slow restorative evenings by the fire.

South Gobi · Signature Journey
Six pre-summer days in the Gobi when temperatures are kind, the dunes are at their photographic best, and the camp is quiet — slow desert mornings, long sunset rides, and a curated path through the Gobi's most iconic landscapes.
View details →Khuvsgul · Signature Journey
Seven shoulder-season days at Toilogt Resort during the most personal moment of the Khuvsgul year — foaling season, milk-pouring rituals, the lake's last ice retreating from shore, and family-rooted hospitality before summer arrives.
View details →Khuvsgul · Signature Journey
Seven restorative summer days at Toilogt — our family's resort on Khuvsgul Lake — with horseback riding, lake life, nomadic hospitality, chef Enkhee's table, and nights under extraordinary stars.
View details →Multi-Region (Ulaanbaatar / Khuvsgul / Countryside) · Signature Journey
Ten July days that pair three lakeside days at our family's resort with a privately produced Naadam — private grandstand at the National Stadium, a countryside mini-Naadam staged exclusively for the group, and direct access to wrestlers, jockeys, and archers around the holiday.

Bayan-Ölgii / Western Mongolia · Signature Journey
Seven autumn days in the Altai mountains hosted by a Kazakh eagle-hunting family, including reserved viewing at the Golden Eagle Festival on October 3–4, hunting demonstrations, Tolbo Lake luxury ger camp, and private cultural depth most operators cannot match.
View details →Central Mongolia / Khangai · Signature Journey
Eight September days through the Khangai mountains in peak autumn — the imperial capital at Karakorum, the volcanic landscape of White Lake and Khorgo, Tsenkher hot springs, Khustai's Przewalski horses, and harvest-season hospitality with herding families across the heartland.

We keep groups small, itineraries unhurried, and access genuine. Every departure is personally overseen, with the same guides, camps, and family connections that have shaped these routes for three generations.

Everything you need to know before booking your Mongolia journey.
The Khuvsgul Summer Retreat is designed for complete beginners — our guides lead gentle rides on calm horses with full instruction. Several expedition-style itineraries benefit from at least basic riding confidence, but we assess every guest and match the route and riding load accordingly before departure.
All accommodations, meals (as specified in each day's itinerary), in-country transport, professional guides, camp equipment, and scheduled activities are included. Not included: international flights, Mongolian visa fees if applicable, travel insurance, personal riding or hiking gear, and gratuities.
Yes — travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is mandatory. Remote camps can be 4–8 hours from the nearest hospital, so we require a policy that explicitly covers emergency helicopter evacuation. Confirm coverage with your insurer before departure.
Visa policy can change, so we recommend checking the latest official guidance before booking flights. If you need help after reviewing the current rules, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.
The Summer Retreat suits most fitness levels — days are relaxed and riding is optional. More remote or festival-driven journeys require stronger mobility, comfort on uneven terrain, and longer active days. We review fit route by route during consultation.
All departures are private — we never combine strangers. Groups range from 2 to 12 travelers. Custom departures for families or larger private groups are available throughout the operating season. Solo travelers should inquire directly.
Full refund for cancellations 90+ days before departure. 50% refund for 60–90 days. No refund for cancellations under 60 days. We strongly recommend trip cancellation insurance. Situations involving force majeure are handled individually — reach out and we will work with you.
Yes. Private custom departures are available across the operating windows of our launch collection. We can adjust the pace, add or remove activities, and accommodate special interests such as photography, birdwatching, or cultural homestays. Email us to start the conversation.
Fly into Chinggis Khaan International Airport (ULN) in Ulaanbaatar. Common connections run through Seoul (ICN, ~3h), Beijing (PEK, ~2h), and Istanbul (IST, ~8h). We arrange all in-country transport from Ulaanbaatar onward — typically a domestic flight to Mörön followed by a vehicle transfer to Khuvsgul.
Essential: a layering system (moisture-wicking base layer, fleece, waterproof outer shell), sturdy riding or hiking boots, high-SPF sun protection, personal medications, and a camera with extra batteries. Charging points are limited at camps. We send a full curated packing list after booking confirmation.
