Mongolia Tour Packages, Open Steppe, Gobi Sands, and Nights Full of Stars
Ride through grass that runs to the horizon, sleep in a round felt ger, and stand under a night sky with no city light for a hundred kilometres. Fortune builds Mongolia as a private trip, shaped to your dates, your pace, and your appetite for the wild.
The Emptiest Country Is the Fullest Trip.
Mongolia sits landlocked between Russia and China, and it is one of the least crowded countries on earth. Outside Ulaanbaatar, the land opens into grass steppe, desert, and mountain, and herding families still move their gers and animals with the seasons, much as they did when Genghis Khan rode out from these plains. Nothing about it feels arranged for tourists, and that is exactly the pull. Fortune plans Mongolia privately: a route drawn for you, a driver and guide who know the tracks, and camps chosen before you fly.
Mongolia, Corner by Corner.
Four broad directions, and your days decide how many the route takes in.
Ulaanbaatar and Terelj
The capital holds close to half the country's people, the Gandan Monastery, and Sükhbaatar Square
An easy drive out, Terelj National Park brings rock valleys, ger camps, and the giant steel statue of Genghis Khan on horseback along the way.
The Gobi Desert
The singing dunes of Khongoryn Els
The red Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag where some of the first dinosaur eggs known to science were dug from the earth, and a gorge where ice survives deep into summer.
Kharkhorin and the Orkhon Valley
The site of the old imperial capital
The ancient Erdene Zuu monastery, and a river valley of herders and horses listed as a UNESCO World Heritage landscape.
The Far North and West
Lake Khövsgöl, the country's biggest freshwater lake, deep blue under forested hills
And the Kazakh eagle hunters of the Altai mountains for travellers with time and nerve.
Mongolia, in brief.
The quick read before the map comes out.
Sleeping in a Ger on the Open Steppe.
A Round Felt Home Under a Giant Sky
The ger is Mongolia's round tent of felt and wood, warmed by a stove in the middle, and it has housed families on these plains for centuries. Staying in one is the heart of any Mongolia trip. Dinner comes hot off the stove, the wind moves outside the felt, and when you step out at night the sky above the dark steppe carries more stars than most people have ever seen at once. Camps range from simple family stays to comfortable tourist gers with proper beds, and we tell you plainly what each camp on your route offers before you book, so nothing on the trip comes as a surprise.
Three Games in the Middle of July.
Every July, Mongolia stops for Naadam, the old festival of the three games: wrestling, horse racing, and archery. The main event fills the stadium in Ulaanbaatar, while small-town naadams run the same games on open grass, closer and friendlier. Riders race across the steppe, wrestlers in traditional dress circle each other, and whole families camp by the track. If your leave can touch July, we build the route around it, and it becomes the story you tell first.
Built Private, Paced Honestly.
No two Mongolia trips should look alike, so ours start from three answers: how many days you hold, which month you can travel, and how rough you are willing to let the roads get. From that, we draw the route, mix ger camps with hotels, set a driver and guide who know the country, and line up the smoothest flight connection from Kochi. The full plan and its price reach you first, and nothing is paid until you approve both.

FAQ
Questions with useful answers
June to September is the main season, when the steppe is green and the days are warm. July brings the Naadam festival, and September turns the land gold, with the eagle hunting festivals of the west following in autumn. Winter is beautiful but extreme, and suits only the very hardy.
Mongolia's biggest celebration, held each July around three traditional games: wrestling, horse racing, and archery. The main festival runs in Ulaanbaatar, and small towns hold their own friendlier versions on open grass. We can plan your route to catch either.
A ger is a round felt tent with a stove at its centre, and camps range from simple family stays to comfortable tourist gers with proper beds. Expect warmth, hot food, and a star sky you will not forget. We brief you on exactly what each camp on your route provides.
About a week covers Ulaanbaatar, Terelj, and a taste of the Gobi. Ten to twelve days add Kharkhorin and the Orkhon Valley or the north. The far west and the eagle hunters deserve closer to two weeks. Tell us your days and we cut the route to fit them honestly.
Entry rules for Indian passport holders change from time to time, so we confirm the current requirement when you enquire. Keep your passport valid for six months beyond your return date.
Local cooking leans heavily on meat and dairy, so vegetarians need planning, and we do that planning. Ulaanbaatar has a wide spread of restaurants, Indian food included, and on countryside days we arrange meals ahead so no one goes searching on the steppe.
