Mongolia Summer and Fall 2025
Greetings!

Siberian Taiga Forest, Rolling Steppes & Rocky Mountains

This fascinating birding trip offers the best way to experience Mongolia with great birding and wildlife viewing. We will visit genuinely fantastic wildlife habitats throughout this trip, from Siberian taiga forest to the freshwater/salty lakes and rolling steppes in Mongolia. Lodging is in traditional ger camps where you will meet nomadic herders and learn from the age-old nomadic lifestyle. Mongolia is about the same size as Alaska and with only 3.2 million people, most of the country is uninhabited pristine wilderness. Our local Mongolian team leaders provide excellent guide service, transport and lodging for this adventure. 

  • Birding, Hiking, and Mountain Biking:  September 10 - 21, 2025, spots left = 6
  • ​The mountain biking and hiking is on dirt roads. Nothing steep or technical and enjoyable for any level of experience.
  •  
  • The travel route for the mountain biking tour is nearly the same as listed on the Mongolia webpage, except we will not be visiting the boreal forests of Gorkhi-Terelj. Instead, we will spend 2-nights at Ugii Lake and 2-nights at Khustai National Park. We will be driving to each lodging location and then biking the area around the lodging location. This will allow for hiking or even birding if you are not a mountain biker. This tour requires a non-refundable 50% deposit to sign-up. Final payment is due March 10, 2025. Please contact us for more details about this special tour.
