Back to the days of Kublai Khan

Thursday, 13 August 20093 min read

Combining the themes of equestrian, falconry and hunting is the ambitious goal of a new off-the-beaten-track tour from Urbane Nomads.

The trip promises, ala Kublai Khan, a “unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience,” the company says.

Travelers will go on horseback through the western part of Mongolia, led by an award-winning filmmaker familiar with the area.

“As they move on to Northern Mongolia, on a horseback riding expedition through a land coinciding with Shambhala, they (travelers)will similarly be guided by academic researchers actively involved in the study and conservation of the Mongolian reindeer,” the site says.

The site adds:

”Traveling throughout Mongolia by private jet, they will be accompanied by a private chef, a private butler, and be accommodated in luxurious, movable private homes done up in absolute luxury and redefining standards of luxury in remote places.”

Costs for the trip starts from USD$2 million.
