Overland Expedition across Mongolia's Gobi Desert

AN EPIC SELF-DRIVE ACROSS THE LARGEST DESERT IN ASIA

Few places are, and feel, as sublimely remote as Mongolia's Gobi Desert, where a mystic silence reigns. It’s the largest desert in Asia and it’s not just the orange sands like you may be thinking and there is much more to it. On this epic motoring journey, you will be driving deeper into this great desert. Most of us avoid traveling absurd distances, but in Mongolia, you can’t get anywhere without one hell of a journey. This expedition exactly offer that, letting you explore places where not many have ever gone before.
