Travel To Mongolia

Mongolia travel is easy! Mongolia opened its doors to the outside world in the 1990s. You can fly direct from various Western and Asian countries or journey here on the trans-Siberian.

If you prefer a more adventurous route, consider the Mongol Rally - a ten thousand mile journey from London to Ulaanbaatar.

Once here you will find one of the last nomadic bastions on earth - a vast land of endless Steppe and the famed Gobi desert.

Mix in a million nomads, extinct volcanoes, dinosaur graveyards and mystic shamans and you know you will have the time of your life!
