Seasonal Departure: Available June to September
Just a few hours from Beijing, this 4-day trip takes you deep into the grasslands for a relaxing and authentic experience. Stay in carefully selected accommodations, visit real herder families, take part in traditional crafts, ride horses, enjoy lakeside picnics, and explore untouched nature by 4x4.
"Designed for travelers looking for a short, well-organized getaway with meaningful cultural connections and stunning natural scenery — without the crowds."
— Nico & Jack
Begin your return to nature with a star-lit arrival, setting the stage for the journey ahead.
Activities:
After breakfast, we drive 15 minutes to visit a herder family that has worked this land for generations. This authentic experience, far from tourist spots, shows real daily life. Under host guidance, touch raw wool and learn the traditional craft of felt-making. In the afternoon, try herding activities: interact with livestock, take a boat on a shimmering lake, or ride horses across the plains. While drinking traditional pastoral tea, you'll discover the true value of experiencing this connection to the land.
Focus: Connect with the core of nomadic culture through hands-on craftsmanship and intimate interaction with pastoral life.
Activities:
Today, we head deep into the grasslands by powerful 4x4. After breakfast, we will prepare our own picnic lunch. We drive off-road, exploring remote birch forests and hidden areas of the prairie. We'll find a stunning viewpoint to enjoy your picnic surrounded by nature. You can look for wild marmots or capture the dramatic river valley landscapes with time-lapse photography. Today is about the experience; the journey and the views are the destination.
Focus: Command an all-terrain vehicle through the heart of the grassland, capturing raw, primordial landscapes from an explorer's perspective.
Activities:
Begin your morning with views of Nine-Bend Bay and choose a grassland activity: grass-skiing down green slopes, another horseback ride, or trying on traditional attire while learning folk dances. These will be highlights. In the afternoon, participate in a "Sky-view" heritage workshop. Make a scented herb sachet, craft a rustic leather item, or learn Mongolian calligraphy from an expert. As the sun sets, gather at the Grassland Bar for a closing toast to reflect on our four-day journey.
Focus: Create a lasting connection to the grasslands by collecting tangible memories through folk entertainment and artisanal crafts.
