Naadam Festival Adventure Tours Route ©OTMT

A visit to Mongolia would not be complete without travelling to the Orkhon Valley where Chinggis Khaan established the capital of the great Mongol Empire. A huge Buddhist monastery was built on the same site in the sixteenth century. This 9-day itinerary reflects the fact that Mongolia is a land of variety and contrast.
