Camel trek to towering Erg Chebbi dunes.

Sleep in a nomad family’s felt tent on the steppe, with fermented mare’s milk and horses at the door.

Granite valleys, Turtle Rock and ger camps an hour from Ulaanbaatar — horse-riding country.

Dune-bashing in a 4x4, sandboarding, camel rides and a Bedouin-style dinner with falconry as the sun sets over the sand.

A 165-km, ten-day wilderness trail from the ice sheet to the coast with huts, reindeer and no roads.
