Three Australians make a remarkable journey across Mongolia in the dead of winter using non-motorised means. The journey started in December, 2009,
leaving from a town called Altanbulag, just inside Mongolia on the border with Russia, about 100 km south of Lake Baikal (the world's oldest and deepest lake).
They went as far south as they could go in the month they had, which was 500 km. As usual in such extreme challenges Mongolia Expeditions provided local logistics
but most importantly a guide by the name of Temuujin who could bear the unbearable conditions of continental winter.

After 2 years of hard work the 1 Aug 2008 Total Solar Eclipse observation tour turned out to be one of the best tours organized by
Mongolia Expeditions. 27 avid eclipse chasers, and support staff of 19 had a breath taking view of the eclipse from a fantastic
camp at Khoton lake Mongolia. www.skyandtelescope.com
We thank all participants for being our guests and special thanks to Mr. Andreas Gada. Below are some images from the eclipse site and appreciation lines from the participants.
In Shock Treatment, celebrities pair up to take part in six very different experiences around the globe. These journeys aren't five-star trips to
exotic locations! Each celebrity will be taking a spiritual and emotional journey, facing a range of extreme, physical challenges. The temptation
to quit will face them every day. The choice is theirs, stick it out for the whole seven days and win $5,000 for their favorite charity, or throw
in the towel and leave a good cause empty-handed. Mongolia became one of the destinations & Mongolia Expeditions handled the local organizational chores.
