The engine hums, the Land Cruiser tires blur the shoulder of the road and the Mongolian steppe unrolls like a living map. In one direction, granite outcrops and pines define Terelj’s chiseled ridgelines; in another, the low grassland of Hustai stretches flat and patient, watching for the pale flanks of Przewalski’s horses. This is a tour built around choices: a driver-guide in a Toyota Land Cruiser, a flexible itinerary, and a country that rewards curiosity with sudden vistas, small roadside shrines and the occasional yurt steaming with milk tea.
