We’d always had an ambition to visit Mongolia and we achieved our aim in August-September 2019. There is a fairly classic circuit that can be done over a two week or so period where most of the key attractions of Mongolia can be visited. We did an 18 day trip that took us from the pine forests and scenic Lake Khuvsgol in the north to the deserts and stunning vistas of the Gobi in the south. We’ve divided the journey into two parts – each of nine days. Here is Part One – Northern and Central Mongolia.
