Led by Khuslen and Shivani, we are very proud to offer for the first time our "India - Mongolia Friendship Trek" organised in association with our Indian sister company "Tehmussin Arts & Music", based in Lucknow, UP. The basic idea is to offer Mongolian Motorcycle Trekking with an element of Indian cultural exchange and an appropriate mix of supporting cultural events. This is a mixed motorcycle and jeep trek intended to be family friendly. Bikes and jeeps may take different routes but rendezvous are common.
