Traveling by horseback in the grasslands of the north and by suspension-less Russian vans in the Gobi desert of the south, they sampled an exotic culture still largely dependent on the horse, joined in their celebrations, explored their capital city of Ulan Bataar and visited their unique landscapes. They wrapped up their trip with a brief visit to Beijing. Come join us for the adventure!
