Wow we received so many applications for our Gobi Cold Camel Expedition over the last few weeks, I thought it's time to let you know about 3 more of our adventures we have for 2025.

Attack of the Yaks - Spend 10 days with us in the mountains of central Mongolia. This adventure is unique because as you may have guessed , it's all on yaks. We have both riding and pack yaks and it's the only adventure of its kind in the country. This is a slower paced trip, easy days in the saddle plenty of time take in the stunning scenery, nature and the nomadic culture. Riding level - novice upwards

Bring on the Birds - Our only non-riding tour, come off the beaten track with us in our luxury 4wd and visit some of the most beautiful spring locations in all of Mongolia. A mix of staying with nomads and at our own private ger camps. Watch all the migratory birds arrive for spring, the landscape filled with baby animals and the flowers blooming all over the steppe.

Ride to the Reindeer - You guessed it horse riding to he homeland of the reindeer and Dukha people. Experience the last remaining group on Earth that rides reindeer in this remote mountain environment, where fewer than 200 families reside. This adventure takes you through the breathtaking mountains, stay in tepees with Dukha families, ride and herd reindeer, harvest blueberries and pine nuts, and discover the reindeer's lifestyle firsthand. Additionally, spend a day with our exceptional guides in the Darkhad Valley, experiencing traditional yak, sheep, and goat herding, as well as horse racing. This untouched wilderness is home to critically endangered species, including ibex, snow leopards, moose, and argali. This adventure fills up every year so don't miss out.

Have we ended up in email SPAM?

If you've applied for an expedition recently and haven't heard back from us ? Please check you spam or junk folder in your email box.

I don't know what we did to deserve this but we seem to be getting caught in email filters and ending up in the wrong spot where people never find them!

So if you eagerly waiting for an answer on wether you can join us for and adventure in Mongolia make sure this hasn't happened to you. We've probably replied but if not don't hesitate to apply again or send a message here!

We are looking for that last cowboy or cowgirl that is ready for adventure and something just a little different. Can you ride a horse, want something to take you outside your comfort zone and experience something truly authentic that is like nothing else on earth?

This is the Gobi Cold Expedition, the world’s coldest, most remote and unique camel expedition. It’s 300km crossing Mongolia’s Gobi Desert for 10 days in winter.

Riding 30km a day with Bactrian camels.
Staying with nomadic families and learning all about their way of life, animal husbandry and culture along the way.
The terrain ranges from sand dunes, mountains, plains and everything in between. There’s the chance to see rock art, cross one of Genghis Khans battle fields, and ride along parts of the Silk Road in a land steeped with history and beauty.

Start 2025 a little differently and choose adventure

Yaks are perfectly adapted to Mongolia’s rugged landscapes, making them ideal companions for our Attack of the Yaks expedition. Steady, strong and surefooted, your yak will take you through the untouched-by-time landscapes of Uvurkhangai province, where you'll stay with nomadic herding families and their herds of sheep, goats and horses. You can even try your hand at yak milking, and what is life if one cannot have delicious fresh yak butter with jam for breakfast!? 🍞😋
