Central Mongolia, commonly referred to as the Khangai Region, is an apt description for this part of the country. Khangai is loosely translated into ‘fertile’, and indeed, it is characterized by lush green meadows, crystal clear streams, wide lakes and gushing rivers.

Locked between Mongolia’s second largest mountain range, the Khangai Mountains to the south, and by the Tarvagatain mountains to the north, the Khangai is inhabited by many nomadic families who find here good graze for their herds amid rolling hills.

For the traveler, Central Mongolia tours offer a plethora of sites to be visited: thermal hot springs, extinct volcanoes, the ancient capital of the 13th century Mongol Empire and other historic sites throughout the Orkhon Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site, to name only few.

Also, our Central Mongolia tours offer a wide range of travel opportunities. The most obvious, and most common, is an overland trip by vehicle, but for those looking to go beyond the beaten trail, the region is a perfect setting for day hikes and multi-days trekking and horseback riding adventures.

No matter how one chooses to travel in central Mongolia, any tour would include endless opportunities for up-close encounter with the nomads of Mongolia, their ancient traditions and unique lifestyle.

We welcome you to choose one of our Central Mongolia tours for once in a lifetime experience.
