THE ONLY MULTI-SPORT ADVENTURE IN MONGOLIA

Viet Adventure is thrilled to take you to the first Adventure Event outside of Vietnam, in Mongolia, a country that offers wide-open spaces, star filled skies and untamed wilderness.

With only 2,1 million people in a country larger than western Europe, Mongolia is also an isolated land that offers some of the lats unspoiled adventure travel in the world. What remains of the worlds largest empires, founded by Genghi Khan, is mesmerizing.

The Rostaing Mongolian Trophy will take place in the Tsambagarav National Park, at the border of Russia and China, where it is home to more than 17 nationalities and ethnicities. Each of these groups has its own traditional dwelling and settlement patterns, dress and other distinctions, literary, artistic, and musical traditions. The participants will have the chance to discover those cultures and experience living in yurts.

Tsambagarav Mountain, which gave its name to the National Park, is Mongolia's 3rd highest peak. The permanently snow-capped Tsambagarav Uul straddles the border between Khovd and Bayan Olgii aimags. Few rafts have skipped the currents of the wild rivers snaking through the largely unexplored Altai mountains in the western reaches of the country. Archaeologists searching for Genghis Khan's grave in northeastern Mongolia are also digging in virgin territory.

Follow us on this incredible adventure on the footsteps of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongolian Empire.

THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE INTO A REMOTE AND WILD TERRITOTY

This is a life experience. There are still places available to those keen to experience some of the most spectacular scenery Mongolia has to offer.

Live your passion for exploration and discovery !
