As you navigate this Mongolia loop in your fully equipped Toyota Land Cruiser 4×4 Mongolia rental car, you’ll cross untouched steppe, drive through hidden valleys, and reach eagle hunters, nomadic families, and landscapes few travelers ever see.
Camp under pristine night skies, follow rugged Mongolia overland tracks, and enjoy the freedom that only a self drive Mongolia expedition can offer.

What you will see on the big Mongolia Loop to Khuvsgul, Altai and Gobi
This Mongolia overland route connects many of the country’s most extraordinary natural and cultural wonders. In the north, you’ll reach the Khuvsgul Lake region—part of one of the world’s cleanest and longest connected freshwater systems, flowing through the Eg, Selenge, and Orkhon rivers. These legendary waters are home to the world’s largest trout species, the taimen, making this area a crown jewel of any long Mongolia tour.
As your Mongolia 4×4 adventure continues westward, you’ll cross Altan Els, the northernmost sand dunes in Mongolia and the only place on Earth where Bactrian camels and shaggy yaks graze side by side.
The journey then rises into the dramatic Altai Mountains, a remote frontier of glaciers, Mongolia’s highest peaks, vast basins, and iconic wildlife such as the world’s largest wild sheep, the Altai argali, and the massive Altai ibex. This region is also the homeland of Kazakh eagle hunters, whose centuries-old tradition is one of the most powerful cultural highlights of any Mongolia loop.
In the south, your Mongolia self drive expedition takes you into the diverse Gobi Desert—habitat of wild camels, snow leopards, bears, antelopes, and countless desert-adapted species. These dramatic contrasts make this Mongolia overland expedition one of the richest and most varied 4×4 journeys in Asia.
