The Longest Multi-Animal Expedition on Earth
For us there is no great experience than riding across beautiful landscape.The Great Nomad Expedition is and 3 week long crossing of Mongolia, using only the animals belonging to nomadic herders. Camels, horses, yaks and reindeer to cross from one side of Mongolia to the other.
Welcome to the Great Nomad Expedition, we believe in adventures that take you further into the wilderness than ever before, that change your perceptions and create memories for life
Our Philosophy
This isn't a holiday. It's an invitation to step into one of the last truly wild places on Earth.
At Great Nomad Expeditions, we don't follow tourist trails or stage cultural experiences. We travel alongside the families who have called Mongolia home for generations, riding the horses, camels, yaks and reindeer that have shaped their way of life for centuries.
Our expeditions are created for those who crave something real—wide open landscapes, honest human connection, physical challenge and the unforgettable feeling of earning every kilometre. Whether you're crossing the frozen Gobi on camelback, riding with eagle hunters in the Altai Mountains or journeying deep into the northern taiga to meet the reindeer herders, every expedition is designed to immerse you in authentic nomadic culture while supporting the communities who make these journeys possible.
If you're searching for an adventure that will challenge you, inspire you and stay with you long after you've returned home, welcome. The real Mongolia is waiting.
We aim to offer some of the most unique expeditions in the world that take you far off the beaten track.

Supporting Mongolia's Nomadic Communities
Great Nomad Expeditions was built on the belief that adventure travel should give back. Every expedition is created in partnership with our Mongolian team, ensuring local voices, knowledge and traditions remain at the heart of everything we do. From employing local guides, cooks and drivers to staying with nomadic families and sharing their stories through our award-winning films, the money you spend directly supports the communities we visit. We're not just travelling through Mongolia—we're helping preserve its culture, creating meaningful employment and ensuring authentic Mongolian voices are heard around the world.
Mongolian culture is the most important to us. Thanks to Miles for Breakfast Media that captures these great mongolian voices
