Our birding tours are designed to explore these spectacular regions while providing comfortable travel, expert guiding, and unforgettable encounters with Mongolia’s wildlife, culture, and wilderness.

The Standard Birding Tour from late May to early June focuses on key breeding species as well as some passage migrants. The second departure, from June 10 to 25, concentrates mainly on breeding birds. Certain species, such as the Black-billed Capercaillie, are more difficult to find during the later tour, but the weather is generally more favorable and stable at that time.

In 2026 and beyond, we will offer the following extensions to the main birding tour:

• Owls of the Boreal Forest: This tour will focus on Great Grey Owl, Eurasian Pygmy Owl, Ural Owl, Siberian Jay, Siberian Tit, and Hazel Grouse. It will be a 3-day tour visiting two places in the vicinity of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, from May 12th to May 14th, and from May 18th to May 20th. Accommodation is a hotel. Participants are required to be able to hike 4-5 km a day.

• Birding in Far Eastern Mongolia:  This tour will focus on Jankowski's Bunting and other eastern specialties such as Siberian Blue Robin, Siberian Thrush, Reed Parrotbill, Ochre-rumped Bunting, Tristram's Bunting, Marsh Grassbird, Relict Gull, Oriental Plover, and many other wader and passerine migrants. It will be a 10-day pre-tour extension with mainly camping in tents around May 15-24th, when it is peak time for catching migrants.

• Khurkh River Valley: This tour will focus on the Critically Endangered Siberian Crane. Other targets are Hooded Crane, Yellow-breasted and Chestnut-eared Buntings, Chinese Bush Warbler, Lanceolated Warbler, Swinhoe's Snipe, Japanese Quail, and Great Bustard. It will be a 5-day post-tour extension with camping in tents from June 7th to 11th. 

Please email us to request the day-to-day itinerary and the price. The minimum group size for the extensions is four people. 

Vehicle: Toyota Land Cruisers (4WD). There will be some long drives on both paved and dirt roads between the birding sites. We consider the comfort of our clients to be very important, so that 3 passengers will sit in each car.  

Accommodation: In Ulaanbaatar, we will stay in a modern hotel. Away from there, we will either stay in ger camps or pitch our own tents.

Climate: The weather can be very variable in May and early June. Generally, it will be warm during the day, but it will be chilly cold at night and in the early mornings. Cold weather can be expected at the higher altitudes, and rain, even snow, is possible at almost any time. Starting from the beginning of June, the temperature rise causes the hot days.
