Experiences
Every journey is private to your group. No fixed departures, no crowds. Just the desert, the culture, and your story.
Discovery Tour
6 Days · Alashan · Inner Mongolia
Six days of immersion in the Gobi's raw beauty. Trek among towering dunes that glow amber at sunrise, ride camels through landscapes unchanged for millennia, and discover a hidden oasis where you can swim beneath desert cliffs.
Sleep under infinite stars at our desert camp, hike from 2,000 to 3,000 meters through dramatic terrain, and explore a frontier town with echoes of the old Silk Road. Ancient pyramids, a local ecomuseum, 4x4 adventures through sculpted canyons.
Stargaze in absolute silence. Sandboard down golden slopes. An optional winery visit reveals the unexpected treasures of this remote region.
Marco Polo Tour
9 to 11 Days · Alashan · Inner Mongolia · (crossing through 3 Provinces)
An epic journey following in the footsteps of Marco Polo through the heart of the Gobi and 3 provinces of today's China (Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and Gansu). This expedition begins with much of the Discovery experience, then ventures deeper into territories few outsiders have seen.
Megadunes stretch to the horizon, their crests sharp against endless sky. A night of wild camping under infinite stars. The climb to the World's tallest stationary sand dune, where the view extends 360°.
The journey concludes in Gansu province with visits to the ancient Mati Temple, its chambers carved into sheer cliff faces over a thousand years ago, and the otherworldly Rainbow Mountains — geological time made visible in striated bands of crimson, ochre, and jade.
