Mongolia Panorama

Our experiences with Tim Cope in Mongolia are just the stuff of dreams.
The trip was absolutely superb and having Tim as our guide was such an amazing bonus!

Your local operators there are excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything went superbly well. The drivers were unrivalled. They multi-tasked as butchers, professional singers and entertainers.

I cannot praise the whole team enough..... It was a dream come true: to ride in the wake of Genghis Khan, on a Mongolian horse, wrapped in a deel!

Thank you so much for organising such a magnificent trip!

Gobi Traverse

The Great Gobi Desert is a treasure chest full of astonishing surprises that draw in the most avid travellers, explorers and scientists. This unique trekking and camping itinerary was developed with locals - people intimate with every corner of the places we visit on this remarkable journey. Our explorations will take us to some unique and untouched places amid this vast wilderness to see ancient rock engravings that depict civilizations inhabiting the earth hundreds of thousands of years ago at Bichigt Khad; the largest sandunes in Mongolia at Khongoriin Els; ancient dinosaur relics at Bugiin Tsav; and the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park containing the Valley of Yol, with solid ice formations even in the heat of the Gobi summer. In true nomadic style we ride through the desert on camel back with local herdsmen and enjoy the famous hospitality of local nomadic people.
