Gobi Desert Mongolia Expedition

Once in a lifetime Expedition to cross 1000 miles of the Mongolian Gobi Desert on Foot

This is an expedition to change your life. In excess of 1000 miles on foot across the Gobi desert! Up for it? The leader was part of an international expedition who set out on this first during 2011. He was so inspired he wants to do it again! Mongolia is a huge country larger than western Europe. It is very sparsely populated with under 3 million people the vast majority of whom live in the few large cities and towns. This is one of the last true wilderness areas in the world and stunning does not do it justice.

The Gobi desert is a high arid desert the experiences heat that will sap you energy, winds and sand storms that will knock you over and evenings that can get a wee bit chilly! You may be lucky and actually experience some rain on the crossing as well.

This expedition is suitable for reasonably fit individuals who are willing to commit to an adventure and experience that will have a profound impact on them! Individuals will be expected to put in many months of personal training prior to departure to ensure you have a level of fitness required. This journey is 75% mental application and 25% physical application so being mentally prepared is an essential part of this adventure.

A one week training camp is included based in the Cost Blanca mountains in Spain to ensure suitability and to let you get to know your fellow adventure seekers prior to departure.

This is an expedition that can be done by anyone who is willing to commit, and those who have not done any long term expeditions before will get the most out of it. The previous crossing had people from 9 different countries and an age range of 18-55.

The expedition leader will have long phone chats with those inspired to attempt this trip of a lifetime to ensure suitability and to cover all questions.
