Our journey takes us westward to the enchanting Arkhangai Province, very known for its stunning landscapes that blend rolling steppes, lush valleys, and majestic mountains. This region, untouched by time, offers a tranquil escape into the heart of Mongolia’s natural beauty, where every turn of the road unveils breathtaking panoramas.

As we travel deeper into this serene province, the air grows crisp, and the connection to the earth feels almost palpable. By mid-morning, we arrive at a monastery hidden among the mountains, a sacred sanctuary where spirituality and nature harmonize effortlessly. This peaceful retreat, steeped in history and tradition, invites you to step into a world of calm and introspection. Here, you will participate in a guided meditation session, designed to help you attune to the rhythms of the land and your inner self. Surrounded by the quiet majesty of the mountains and the gentle rustling of the wind, the experience is profoundly grounding. After the meditation, take time to explore the monastery grounds.

June 18, 2025: Ovgunt / Karakorum

The journey into the heart of Mongolia’s profound heritage begins as we arrive at Karakorum, the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire. Nestled in the vast expanse of the steppe, this historic city holds the echoes of a bygone era when it served as the thriving center of Genghis Khan’s empire, a crossroads for travelers, merchants, and cultures along the fabled Silk Road. Our first stop is the magnificent Erdene Zuu Monastery, Mongolia’s oldest Buddhist monastery, and a living testament to the nation’s spiritual resilience. The monastery’s imposing white walls, punctuated by over a hundred stupas, encircle a serene complex of ancient temples and shrines. As you step inside, the scent of incense and the soft murmur of monks in prayer transport you to a world of devotion and peace. The intricate murals and sacred statues tell stories of enlightenment, while the timeless chants seem to blend harmoniously with the whispering winds of the steppe.

The afternoon brings an exploration of Karakorum’s local market and museum, offering a vivid glimpse into the daily life and rich traditions of this ancient city. Wander among the market stalls brimming with handcrafted goods, colorful textiles, and traditional wares, each item carrying the soul of Mongolian craftsmanship. The museum, a treasure trove of relics, artifacts, and historical exhibits, unfolds the tale of Karakorum’s pivotal role in shaping Mongolia’s identity.

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, the atmosphere grows charged with anticipation for a sacred ritual led by Tolit and Mongolian shamans. In a secluded area surrounded by the serene steppe, a ceremonial fire is lit, its flickering flames casting long shadows that dance across the land.

June 19, 2025: Journey to Tsagaan sum Hot Springs

The day begins with a sense of peace as we journey into one of Mongolia’s hidden sanctuaries, the Tsagaan sum Hot Springs, nestled in a picturesque valley surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery. These thermal waters, revered for centuries, are said to possess healing properties, thanks to their rich mineral composition. The springs emerge naturally from the earth at a soothing temperature, inviting you to immerse yourself in their restorative embrace.

As you step into the warm waters, the world around you seems to dissolve, replaced by the gentle murmurs of nature and the caress of the steamy mist rising into the crisp air. The minerals in the water work their magic, easing away physical tension and inviting a profound sense of relaxation. Surrounded by the untouched beauty of the Mongolian wilderness, this moment becomes a quiet meditation, a communion with the earth’s nurturing energies. The afternoon is yours to enjoy as you please—whether that means indulging in another soak, taking a tranquil walk through the serene surroundings, or simply resting in the stillness of this sacred space. Each moment spent here deepens your connection to the land and its timeless rhythms.

As night falls and the sky turns to a canvas of stars, a special gathering awaits. Jamila, with her compassionate presence, leads an evening womb ceremony, an intimate and transformative ritual that honors the feminine essence and the creative power within us all. Surrounded by the protective warmth of the yurt and the soft glow of candlelight, participants are guided through a journey of reconnection—to themselves, to the cycles of nature, and to the life-giving energy of the earth. Through gentle chants, sacred storytelling, and symbolic gestures, the ceremony becomes a space of healing, empowerment, and renewal. Whether you are participating or bearing witness, the ritual’s depth resonates on a soul level, weaving bonds of unity and understanding among everyone present. By the time you retire for the evening, the springs and the ceremony will have worked their magic, leaving you with a sense of profound rejuvenation, inner balance, and gratitude for the experiences shared in this sacred Mongolian retreat.

June 20, 2025: Nomadic Life at Tsagaan Sum

The morning begins with an invitation into the heart of Mongolia’s nomadic traditions. We venture into the vast expanse of the steppes to spend time with nomadic families, where their way of life, unbroken for centuries, unfolds with quiet elegance. Here, amidst the rhythm of daily chores, you’ll witness the profound connection between the nomads and their land. From tending livestock to crafting traditional items, every task is a celebration of their ancestral heritage. You’re welcomed not as visitors, but as honored guests, offered insight into their wisdom, resilience, and deep respect for nature’s cycles.

After sharing this intimate glimpse into nomadic life, we embark on a scenic hike to the Tuvkhni Temple, perched high in the mountains. The journey is as breathtaking as the destination, with trails weaving through fragrant larch forests, vibrant wildflowers, and panoramic vistas of the sprawling valleys below. The crisp mountain air invigorates your spirit as you ascend, each step a deeper immersion into Mongolia’s sacred landscapes.

Upon reaching the Tuvkhni Temple, a sense of serenity washes over you. This ancient site, nestled among rocky cliffs, serves as a retreat for Buddhist monks seeking solitude and enlightenment. You’ll have time to explore its tranquil halls, offer a prayer or a moment of reflection, and feel the profound stillness that permeates this sacred space. The views from the temple are nothing short of awe-inspiring, with the endless steppes stretching out like a sea of green and gold.

As the day transitions into evening, we return to our yurt camp for a meal that is as much an experience as it is a feast. Dinner tonight is Horhog, one of Mongolia’s most treasured dishes. Prepared using hot stones heated over an open fire, the lamb and vegetables are cooked to perfection inside a sealed container, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. As the lid is lifted, the aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water.

Seated together in the warmth of the yurt, you’ll savor this meal, rich with tradition and crafted with care. Stories are shared, laughter fills the air, and the sense of community deepens. The evening ends with the quiet comfort of the steppes, where the stars blanket the sky in a dazzling display, and you drift to sleep in your cozy yurt, dreaming of the adventures yet to come.

The day unfolds as an immersive journey into the heart of Mongolia’s spiritual heritage. From the moment you step into the sacred circle, you feel the air hum with an ancient energy, a bridge between the natural and the spiritual realms. Today is dedicated to profound exploration, both outward and inward, as you participate in shamanic ceremonies led by Tolit and his fellow Mongolian shamans. Each ceremony is a dance of tradition and transformation. The rhythmic beat of the shamanic drum echoes through the steppes, guiding you into altered states of consciousness. You may feel the presence of ancestors, sense the whispers of the spirits, or discover deeper truths about yourself. With care and intention, the shamans create a safe space for you to connect with the energies of the land and the cosmos.

As the day progresses, you’ll have the opportunity for individual consultations, where the shamans offer personalized guidance, healing, or energy work. These one-on-one sessions provide a rare chance to address personal questions, release blockages, or align more closely with your life’s path. Their wisdom, drawn from ancient traditions, resonates deeply, leaving you with a sense of clarity and renewal. In the afternoon, you’ll engage in spiritual exercises, designed to deepen your connection with both nature and your inner self. These practices, rooted in the teachings of Mongolia’s ancestral culture, may involve meditative walks through the steppes, rituals honoring the four elements, or silent reflection by a sacred fire. Each activity fosters a profound sense of harmony with the world around you and within you.

As the sun sets, painting the horizon with hues of gold and crimson, you’ll feel an unshakable connection to this ancient wisdom. The day leaves you grounded yet inspired, as if the land itself has shared its secrets with you. Under the vast Mongolian sky, you’ll carry these moments forward, etched into your spirit like the timeless stories of this extraordinary land.

June 25–26, 2025: Peaceful Retreat at Lake Ogui

The journey leads you to the tranquil embrace of Lake Ogui, a serene gem nestled amidst the endless Mongolian steppes. Here, time slows, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the untouched beauty of nature. The lake’s glassy surface reflects the sky in shades of blue and gold, creating a mirror to the heavens that soothes the soul with its quiet grandeur.

The days are filled with gentle rhythms that invite you to reconnect with the simple yet profound joys of life. Morning meditation by the lakeshore begins your day, as the soft lapping of water and the song of distant birds create a natural symphony. Guided moments of mindfulness help you center yourself, aligning with the calm energy of this sacred place. The local nomadic lifestyle unfolds before you as you interact with herders who have lived in harmony with this land for generations. Their yurts, scattered like pearls on the open plain, offer glimpses into a way of life both ancient and resilient. You’ll witness the tending of livestock, the preparation of traditional meals, and the unique skills that sustain their existence in this remote corner of the world.

In the afternoons, you might take leisurely walks around the lake, allowing the vastness of the landscape to inspire quiet reflection. The air, crisp and pure, carries the scent of wild grasses and the distant whispers of history. Perhaps you’ll sit by the water, journal in hand, capturing thoughts and impressions that arise from this connection with nature. Evenings bring the warmth of community. Gathered by the fire, under a dome of glittering stars, stories are shared, laughter echoes, and bonds deepen. Local dishes, lovingly prepared, offer a taste of Mongolian hospitality, each bite infused with the essence of this remarkable land.

These days by Lake Ogui are more than a retreat—they are an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and absorb the profound stillness of a place where nature and spirit exist in perfect harmony.

Between laughter and quiet conversations, memories are shared, stories recounted, and gratitude expressed. Each individual reflects on the personal growth and insights gained throughout the expedition.
