Mongolia

Small Group Trekking Adventure - active, cultural, breathtakingly beautiful...

Join Back Track in Mongolia and receive a taste of the legendary hospitality of the Mongols. Experience adventure as you trek across the Altai Mountains and the Gobi Steppe accompanied by Bactrian camels. You’ll have ample opportunity to soak up the local culture during Mongolia’s most famous festival, the Naadam Games, where impressive wrestling, horse racing and archery contests provide surprisingly exciting distractions on this adventure holiday.

Since 1984, Back Track has been an active leader in the Adventure Travel Industry worldwide. You're invited to join a Back Track Adventures holiday and truly experience the destination you visit. Forget the tired tourist trails, go Back Track and feel inspired and energised by the experience.

The Altai Mountains trek takes you to the remote western region of Mongolia where the borders of Russia, China and Mongolia meet. This stunning high country has verdant forests, expansive lakes and glittering snow peaks. The wildlife encountered include argali sheep, ibex, red deer and eagles. You’ll behold the extraordinary lifestyles of the Tuvan and Kazakh nomads as you’re likely to be invited into their portable family homes called ‘gers’.

The Arburd Sands is a twenty kilometre long sand dune on the transition zone between the treeless plains of the Gobi Steppe and the desolation of the mighty Gobi Desert. It’s the setting for your camel trek. This ‘walk on the wild side’ is Mongolia in the raw; just you, your crew of local herders and their horses and camels. Venture through the wide open spaces of the Gobi as did the followers of Ghengis Khan, 800 years ago...

There are so many inclusions on this trip that you won't have to worry about much along the way, leaving you free to immerse yourself in the adventure that is Mongolia by Back Track.
