Nomadic Cultural Eco Adventures

Travel Mongolia's great outdoors with Mongolian nomads that will guide you along their nomadic trails with their horses, camels, ox carts, or even trek from one nomadic family to the next over vast and epic Mongolian landscapes to visit, overnight and homestay with genuine Mongolian nomadic families in the mountains, along lush river valleys or deep in Mongolia's Gobi Desert all year round. By doing so you are directly benefiting rural Mongolian nomadic groups and their local communities in their efforts to produce non-commercialized outdoor cultural adventure travel and nomadic homestay visit trips in Mongolia that allows them to generate greatly needed alternative income sources.

Your traveling to these remote locations also provides an economic stimulus for government and private investors to increase and diversify rural services and job markets (health, pharmacies, education, food & drink, etc.) and infrastructure (fuel and oil, better roads, accomodations, etc.) in accordance with the growing industry demands; thus a solid foundation for sustainable rural livelihoods.

Approximately 90% of revenues generated through cultural eco tourism goes directly towards creating enabling environments for rural social economic development that allows the programme to sustainably work with rural nomadic herder groups, rural communities and other initiatives in supporting activities in healthcare, environmental protection, tourism, etc.

Through tourism incomes, rural nomadic herder groups and their communities are developing a greater sense of appreciation and understanding of their roles as:
Custodians of nomadic culture and heritage.
Guardians of local environment (income asset).
Nurturers of Travel Industry Partnerships.
Implementers of Millenium Development Goals.
