Embark on a journey to the heart of Mongolia, where vast steppe landscapes meet rugged mountains and ancient traditions blend with the thrill of adventure.
From the bustling capital of Ulaanbaatar to the Altai Mountains and the Gobi Desert, our expertly crafted tour invites you to experience the magic of Mongolia in its purest form.
Local guides take us through some of the most famous areas of the country, and set up our bell tents camp under a blanket of stars. Immerse yourself in the nomadic culture that has defined this land for centuries, all while taking your paraglider along for the journey.
Join us for an unforgettable adventure that will leave you captivated by Mongolia's untamed beauty and rich heritage.
The 1st of August and 14th of August are used as travel days. Most flights from the west coast of the USA go through Bejing. Be sure to apply for a 72 hour visa with China incase of needing to lay over on either end of your travel. United also flyies to Ulaanbaatar via Tokyo as of 2025.

We will be traveling to multiple sites throughout the tour. Visiting Altai Suam where Kazakh women are
renowned for their skilled embroidery, and their homes are beautifully decorated with ornate tapestries on the walls, ceiling and floor, with each design unique to a particular
family.
We'll also visit Havtsgait Petroglyphs where hundreds of rock paintings by Gobi’s first dwellers were made. Discovered only in the mid 2000s, this site contains some very rare depictions of
Mongolia’s ancient culture and objects.
Getting around Mongolia is no easy task. We will have Toyota Land Cruisers to get around the country, along with 4 sets of domestic flights. 2-3 pilots will be in each Land Cruiser, allowing ample space.
While we aim to fly as much as possible, this tour is primarily focused on the incredible culture that Mongolia has to offer. Non flying activities include spending time with Dalaikhan learning about the daily lives of eagle hunters. Accompanying some of the hunters for a morning horse ride into the mountains in the Hoid Bardam Valley.
Visiting the Flaming Cliffs as we camel trek across the Gobi Desert. We will have the chance to visit the famous the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains, and stop to look for fossils and petroglyphs.


On our flying days we will be using drive up locations as best as we can, but you can expect that there will be some hiking involved. We aim to hike and fly for sunrise each morning for those who would like a workout with a beautiful view. Mongolia offers some of the most dynamic weather out there, and while we try to fly as much as possible we aim for early launch windows in the even conditions pick up.
Having a light weight kit with you is a great idea, or even bringing a second glider like an Ozone Ultralite 5 is a fantastica idea.
The currency used in Mongolia is the Tugrik
(MNT). It has been fairly steady at 3300-3500: 1USD for the last 2 years. We recommend pulling out no more than $500 USD for souvenirs and small purchases during your stay. This can be done at the airport or at and ATM in the capital.
Most cell carrier networks will work in the country. Please check with your cell phone provider for the exact rates. Alternatively, you can choose to get a local SIM card if you prefer, which we will provide. Cell service can be spotty in the remote areas. We will provide a starlink for some limited internet access.
August has pleasant weather and stunning colorful landscapes. The temperature remains warm, ranging from +25°C (77F) to +38°C (100F) during daytime and +8°C(46F) to +20°C(68f) at nights
This time of year is usually quite dry, but still can produce rain showers in the afternoon.
The bottom line is you should come prepared for anything.
All pilots are required to bring a 2M Radio.
We highly recommend having a Garmin Inreach on this tour as well.
We will be using a mix of hotels, gers or yurts, and bell tent camps.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided at all locations.
4 domestic flights are included in the trip cost. Round trip from UB to the Altai mountains and then round trip to the Gobi desert. This will cut off an immense amount of driving time.
