Amazing adventure in Mongolia 2 , Australia, Jun 2022
What an incredible experience this journey through Mongolia was. A lot of long driving days but such an amazing country with wonderful people. Our guide Oogi was one of the best guides I've ever had (and I've been on a lot of tours). Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting an adventure out of the ordinary.
