The Land of the Eternal Blue Sky

Mongolia offers an escape to the extraordinary—a land of boundless steppes, breathtaking landscapes, and enduring nomadic traditions. Travelers can immerse themselves in the untamed beauty of the Gobi Desert, explore the sacred Orkhon Valley, and engage with the timeless lifestyle of herders who define Mongolia’s cultural essence. For those seeking adventure and authenticity, Mongolia promises a profound journey like no other.

With STEP’IN, Your Mongolia Specialists:

Authentic Encounters: Immerse yourself in Mongolia’s rich nomadic culture by staying in traditional gers, the iconic yurts of the steppes. Share meals with local herders, discovering the warmth and hospitality at the heart of their ancestral lifestyle. Participate in daily routines like herding or milking, and gain a deeper appreciation of the Mongolian spirit of independence and resilience, all while contributing to efforts to preserve this unique way of life.
Immersive Adventures: Mongolia offers endless opportunities for adventure. Stargaze under the “eternal blue sky” in the vast, unpolluted wilderness, where the Milky Way is visible in all its glory. Traverse the Bayan Gobi Desert on camelback, discovering stunning sand dunes and hidden oases, or saddle up on Mongolian horses to gallop across the infinite steppes, experiencing the freedom and beauty of the open land.
Cultural Insights:Dive deep into Mongolia’s spiritual heritage by participating in shamanic rituals or Buddhist blessings with local monks. Learn the ancient art of felt crafting, a tradition passed down through generations. Witness the vibrant Naadam Festival, a colourful celebration of the country’s cultural pride, featuring the “Three Manly Games” of wrestling, archery, and horse racing.
Culinary Delights: Mongolian cuisine reflects the country’s nomadic roots. Savour hearty buuz dumplings, filled with meat and vegetables, or try airag, the fermented mare’s milk that’s been a staple of Mongolian diets for centuries. Experience the flavours of the steppes through traditional meals prepared in the homes of local families, offering a true taste of Mongolia’s heritage.
