Is this the destination for you?

Go lose your bearings and discover the nomads or the Tsaatsan people during your trip to Mongolia ! However, avoid winter and its -40°C nights...

You should go if

You will love discovering new cultures (shamans, nomads...)
You're looking to immerse yourself in totally different and unfamiliar landscapes: the steppes, mountains, flocks...
You dream of going off to meet the last nomadic people living in yurts
You want to revitalise yourself and you're not afraid to challenge yourself
You dream of crossing the Gobi desert in a 4x4
You're looking for an extraordinary human experience, and wish to fall in love with the country upon leaving

You shouldn't go if

You fear the cold: in the winter the temperature can drop to -50°C on the coldest nights!
You love countries where it is easy to organise everything by yourself
Don't be surprised or exasperated: many Mongols don't speak a word of English
You prefer to visit towns: Oulan Baator is not very safe and doesn't have any great attractions
Hygiene is REALLY important to you: living with nomads means forgetting about showers for the duration of your stay!
Solitude and large spaces terrify you

Let's go further
