A range of activities such as canoeing, caving, fly-fishing and flower
watching tours are also organized on request. We can also offer logistics
support for paragliding and kite-buggying tours and expeditions.
Canoeing is arguably the best way to get to know Mongolia,
one of the last great wildernesses on earth. In the short hot
summers life in the steppes concentrates on the riverbanks.
Huge flocks of horses stampede out of the water as you draw
near, the bald eagle is circling above looking for pray and
all sorts of water fowl enliven the clear fast flowing stream.
From time to time a horseman will appear on ...
FLY FISHING TOUR
The reason to fish in Mongolia is the
chance to hook and land a freshwater fish weighing 25kg. This giant
of a fish, the taimen (scientific name Hucho
hucho taimen), is a
carnivorous monster that eats other fish, as well as rodents unlucky
enough to get caught in the stream. It is by far the largest member
of the salmonids - the family that includes trout, salmon, and grayling.
According to Siberian tales, Russian fishermen have netted 90
kilogram taimen. The days of landing a taimen in Russia, however,
are long gone as they have been pouched to near extinction. Only
in Mongolia do these ferocious beasts survive in relatively large
numbers.
Mongolia Expeditions pursues pure catch-and-release fishing to
ensure survival of the taimen and other game fish of Mongolia including
lenok (Brachymstax lenok), and Arctic Grayling (Thymallus
arcticus).

FIELD SHOOTING TOUR
Day trip to Military field site.
We organize day trip to the military field site and it takes
about an hour drive from Ulaanbaatar to get there. Here you
can shoot by riffles, machine guns and pistols including AK-47,
SVD sniper, RPD and RPG. Also you are able to drive russian
old tank T-55 and it charged per kilometer. Please contact
us with your request.
CAVING TOUR
In August 2006, together with The Cave Research Center
of Sicily, Italy we conducted a cave research tour in the Gobi desert
and Central Mongolia regions. As a result 19 big caves were studied
few of them for the first time. Although the prime goal of the expedition
was geological morphology of caves, Mongolia Expeditions has now
in its disposal sufficient data and experience to offer caving tours
to both amateur and professional caving enthusiasts. Please contact
us with your request.
PARAGLIDING TOUR
With some rusty personal experience of paragliding
and parachuting, for long time we at Mongolia Expeditions could not
persuade ourselves to offer paragliding tours in Mongolia. In September
2006 a daring crossing over the Khangai Mt. range was attempted by
two UK pilots with logistical support from us. As a result Mongolia
proved to hold huge potential for paragliding and other wind sports.
Now we are confident to offer you logistics services for those
dreaming of writing their names in the blue skies of Mongolia.
