This 14 day expedition takes you across Mongolia’s eastern steppes, sacred mountains, and rivers tied to the life and legacy of Chinggis Khaan. From Binder, Bayan-Adarga, and Dadal are the historic sites closely associated with the Great Khaan’s early life and birthplace—to Onon-Balj National Park, where the Onon River flows through forests that once nourished his homeland, the journey follows in the footsteps of Mongolia’s most legendary leader.
Along the way, you will visit monumental sites, ancient rock inscriptions, sacred ovoos, and monasteries that preserve the memory of Chinggis Khaan and his era. These landscapes form a living museum of Mongolian history, blending natural beauty with cultural depth.
A special highlight awaits in Matad 13 ovoo, where travelers will witness an extraordinary ritual performed by Buryat shamans. Unlike Khalkh shamans, Buryat shamans are known for their elaborate costumes decorated with iron, mirrors, and symbolic ornaments, believed to channel protective powers. Their rituals often involve rhythmic drumming, throat chanting, fire offerings, and invocation of ancestral spirits unique to Buryat tradition. This ceremony provides a rare opportunity to experience the living heritage of one of Mongolia’s most distinctive shamanic traditions.
The journey concludes in Chinggis City, capital of Khentii province, where monuments, museums, and the Kherlen River mark the center of Mongolian history. From sacred rituals to historic landmarks, this tour offers an unparalleled cultural and spiritual exploration of Eastern Mongolia.
