Jacada Travel has announced trips to a new Central Asian destination: Mongolia. This is the fifth new destination launched by Jacada Travel in 2024, following Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus in April, and the European destination of Romania in July.
Jacada’s personalized adventures are designed to immerse travelers in the culture and diverse landscapes of this country. Travelers will take in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, its museums, high-rise contemporary buildings and ancient Buddhist temples. Beyond the capital, travelers will explore the landscapes of the vast Gobi Desert, the snowcapped Altai region and the 13th-century city of Karakorum.
Mongolia is known for its nomadic culture. To help travelers gain a genuine and sustainable insight into this distinct way of life, Jacada has selected nomadic hosts who, with the help of their communities, will share their customs, heritage and traditions.
Here are a few highlights of the new experiences on offer in Mongolia:
- Spend the afternoon with a nomadic family in the Gobi Desert, gaining hands-on experience with sheep, camel and yak herding and learning how to milk livestock
- Explore the Flaming Cliffs, the site where the first dinosaur egg nest was discovered in 1923
- Observe one of the last remaining wild horse species, the takhi, in its natural habitat
- Go hiking in Yol Valley National Park while looking for vulture-like lammergeiers, Altai snowcocks, ibex, yaks, and Argali mountain sheep
- Join an expert paleontologist for an exclusive laboratory tour to inspect freshly unearthed dinosaur fossils in Ulaanbaatar
