Experiences
A handpicked selection of experiences endorsed by our experts. If you canβt see what youβre looking for, let us know, as our extensive network of local contacts can open many doors.
Camping
Set up camp along the river after a long day of angling, and enjoy the spoils of your daily catch by campfire. Your abode will be a traditional Mongolian ger tent, about 20-feet in diameter and nine-feet in height. Amenities are provided for maximum comfort in this rustic, natural setting.
Float Trips
The best way to discover Mongoliaβs meandering river system is by boat. Accompanied by your professional guide, youβll float on the serene rivers for days between camps, taking in the incredible natural beauty that surrounds.
Fly Fishing
Go fishing on one of Mongoliaβs world-class rivers, among the favored destinations for anglers from around the world. Fishing licences are restricted due to conservation efforts in the area to protect endangered Taimen, the largest and most elusive fish around. Still, there are plenty of other fish in the sea, quite literally, with fishing opportunities for lenok trout, endemic amur trout, amur pike, and grayling.
Private Flight
To avoid the long drive from Ulaanbaatar, fly privately by helicopter or turboprop plane to get to the your chosen river destination quickly and efficiently, leaving more time to spend in the stunning natural surroundings, while also providing a unique perspective on Mongoliaβs stunning rugged landscape.
