This self-drive Mongolia tour takes you through the most impressive landscapes of central Mongolia in ten days – from the vast steppes around Ulaanbaatar to the green Orkhon Valley and the tranquil lakes of the Arkhangai region.

Shortly after your arrival, you will experience your first spectacular impressions of granite formations, open valleys, and nomadic culture with the monumental Chinggis Khan statue and Gorkhi Terelj National Park.
As you continue your journey, you will discover the country’s diverse geology: the striking rock formations of Baga Gazriin Chuluu, the gentle dunes of Elsen Tasarkhai, and the vast river landscapes of the UNESCO-protected Orkhon Valley. Along the way, you will meet nomadic families, experience traditional ways of life, and enjoy the special silence and vastness of Mongolian nature.
The trip combines active nature experiences with cultural highlights: hikes through volcanic landscapes, relaxation in the hot springs of Tsenkher, a visit to the historic capital Karakorum, and the Erdene Zuu monastery. At Lake Ugii, you can enjoy peaceful sunsets and excellent bird watching opportunities before seeing the rare Przewalski’s horses in the wild in Khustai National Park.

This tour is ideal for travelers who want to discover the famous highlights of Mongolia in a flexible and intensive way. You drive independently, but are accompanied by a detailed briefing and remote support, and travel through constantly changing landscapes – from steppes and sand to river valleys and alpine plateaus. A journey full of contrasts, nature experiences, and authentic encounters that provides a deep insight into the original heart of Mongolia.
