Birding & Mammal Watching Tour

Mongolia is a vast country with a range of different natural habitats and ecosystems from the taiga forest to the Gobi desert. The country is mostly steppe, but taiga forest in the north, majestic Altai mountains in the west and southwest, grassland steppe in the east, and Gobi desert in the south and northwest. At 1,564,600 square kilometers area, 3.4 million people live in Mongolia. About 45% of the entire population lives in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Many of the Mongolians still live a nomadic lifestyle herding their livestock throughout the year. This tour focuses on breeding and migratory birds as well as large to small mammals.

Vehicle: Toyota Land Cruisers (4WD), there will be some long drives on paved and dirt roads between the sites. We consider that the comfort of our clients is important so that 3 passengers will sit in each car.

Accommodation: In Ulaanbaatar, we will stay in a modern hotel. Away from there we will either stay in yurt camps (called as ger in Mongolia) or pitch our own tents.

Climate: The weather can be quite hot in June. Cool-weather can be expected at higher altitudes, and rain is possible at almost any time.
