Gobi Desert Expedition

6 days (approximately)

Offered in: English

We're not a big agency, we're travelers who fell in love with Mongolia and never left. Every tour is run by the small local team who know these landscapes personally, not from a brochure. You'll travel privately, meaning flexibility is built in. If you want to linger at a viewpoint or share an extra cup of suutei tsai (salty milk tea) with a nomadic family, we make that happen. The Gobi is extraordinary no matter who takes you there, but the difference is in the details, and we sweat every one of them. We The Travel Junkies.
