Mongolia is space itself made country. A territory three times the size of France with fewer than four million people, most of them still living the semi-nomadic life that has defined the Mongolian steppe for millennia. The landscape is staggering in its emptiness and its beauty: rolling grasslands that stretch to every horizon, the Gobi Desert’s red flaming cliffs where dinosaur eggs were first discovered, volcanic craters cradling sacred lakes, and the snow-capped Altai Mountains where Kazakh eagle hunters train golden eagles to hunt foxes and wolves from horseback. This is the homeland of Genghis Khan, whose empire once stretched from Korea to Hungary — and whose genetic legacy runs through an estimated 16 million people alive today.

RJ Travel operates group tours and private tours across Mongolia, from the capital Ulaanbaatar and the ancient monastery of Erdene Zuu to the Gobi Desert’s singing dunes, the reindeer herders of the Tsaatan in the northern taiga, and the Naadam Festival — Mongolia’s spectacular celebration of wrestling, archery, and horse racing. Our itineraries include ger stays with nomadic families, horseback expeditions across the steppe, and 4×4 journeys through landscapes untouched by roads.

Whether you’re drawn by the sight of a thousand horses thundering across the plain at Naadam, the silence of the Gobi at midnight beneath a sky of ten million stars, or the chance to drink airag — fermented mare’s milk — in a nomad’s ger, our Mongolia tours are for travellers who understand that the greatest luxury on earth is space, silence, and freedom.
