Birds and wildlife of Mongolia
Vast steppe, desert and mountain landscapes make Mongolia a place for travellers who love wild spaces as much as the wildlife itself.
Across the Gobi and open steppe, birders can search for specialities such as the Mongolian Ground Jay, Pallas’s Sandgrouse and impressive birds of prey. Lakes and wetlands can add waterbirds and migration spectacles, while the country’s varied landscapes reward time spent observing at a slower pace.
Mongolia also offers the possibility of extraordinary mammal encounters. Snow leopards and Pallas’s cats are among the most compelling targets, and gazelles, wild sheep and other species inhabit the country’s open landscapes. These animals can be elusive: responsible watching, local knowledge, patience and realistic expectations are essential.
We work with local expertise to plan journeys suited to your interests, whether your focus is birds, mammals, photography or a combination. Mongolia’s weather, long travel distances and remote conditions are part of the adventure; we will discuss the practical details and the best timing for your priorities before you travel.
