This 10 days mammal-watching trip is a journey across this wild, spacious at the very best time of year for mammals in this stunning country. Mongolia is rich in mammals; it is home to over 500 species of birds, 130 species of mammals including central Asian endangered endemic species such as Snow Leopard, Mongolian Saiga, and Bactrian Camels. In addition, Long-eared jerboa, Corsac fox, Marbled and Steppe polecat, Pallas’s cat, Przewalski’s horse, Mongolian gazelle, and Argali are major target species for this tour.

This will be a gently paced tour, which will aim not only to find mammals but also the possibility of some least known yet most desired birds of the Palearctic realm.
