It is one of these places for which one would be ready to change its lifestyle. The Orkhon Valley is carpeted with Edelweiss, a magic garden where fishes rush in the tumultuous torrents. Enlaced by the Khangai range, this little paradise is the land of nomads. From Karakorum, fabled city, to the stunning orkhon waterfalls, an authentic trip where the landscapes' richness is only challenged by goodness of heart of the nomads you will meet during your ride.
