Orkhon River - The Magic Tour 10 days (including visit to the monastery Amarbayersgalant)

We called this tour the “magic” tour because it shows all the different sides of this most famous of Mongolia's rivers. There are some rapids, not too easy but also not so dangerous that you have to get out of the canoe. There are wide valleys, but also steep canyon walls where the river rushes through. You will in fact experience every one of the major landscapes of central Mongolia. This is an outdoors tip meaning that there´s no car following the river and we´re bringing all supplies with us in the canoe. It´s also a fishing paradise as most of the river has never seen a fisherman No canoeing experience needed and no special fitness. Moderate fitness and some swimming capabilities suffice.
