What is Mongol Trophy

Image Tenuun Tour LLC is a Government licensed tour company of Mongolia. Over the years, we have organized many tours for adventurous auto travelers from different countries and we are the most experienced and professional one in Mongolia. Every year we organize 1-2 international trophies, Mongol Trophy. Each trophy has a new challenge and new route. It is very exotic for high technology and rapidly developing country people to drive through beautiful wilderness in ancient historical nomadic way. We use very simple and mechanical jeep, new Russian UAZ-Hunter. It is quite different than modern comfortable, all automatic jeeps. It is also very suitable for off-road driving in Mongolia.
 
Besides working on the map and driving through the main route, the Mongol trophy teams, which consist of 3 participants, compete with different competitions, such as mountain bike, nomadic living style, technical driving and other interesting games to collect scores for victory. A winner team will be awarded with the Trophy cup and several categories awards would be given to teams. You will travel through different natural zones in beautiful areas with new friends. It is a great chance to discover both your ability and new tourism zone, Mongolia. Also a great chance to escape from high rhythm, busy and stressful lifestyle. To sense and taste freedom of driving in open space through wilderness.

Image The Mongol Trophy 2008 will be held on July 29 - August 13, 2008. This time we chose western part of Mongolia. There is a good reason to make this choice because the Total Solar Eclipse will be seen exactly in this area on August 01, 2008. The Mongol Trophy 2008 participants will see this wonderful event. The western region is high Mountain and it is famous in the world as big Altai Mountain Range. The participants will drive through the Altai Mountains then, continue the trophy through central region of the country, main areas of Mongolian tourism, which is mixed with mountains and steppe.
The trophy team will see beautiful natural scenes, peculiar geographic structure, ancient historical heritages, such as deer stones, burials, rock paintings and cultural points. There are the oldest volcano of Mongolia, Khorgo and also White Lake, located in wonderful natural scene, in the central area. One of the best places, which the trophy team will stay over, is the Tsenher hot spring. The participants will sleep in a comfortable tourist camp and have hot spring bath. The trophy participants will also visit Kazakh/ethnic minority/ family in the western Mongolian, to see their eagle hunting, and visit nomadic families who live in the central area. You can see difference between their culture, tradition and lifestyle, although they live in one country.

Image Certainly, the participants will visit Erdene Zuu monastery in Karakorum, the ancient capital of Mongolian Dynasty. Beautiful sand dune and golden sand will be one point of the trophy route. A river falls through the sand. You can swim there and have sunbathing on the sand beach in this tiny Gobi Desert in the western area. An eternal snow capped Mountain is another stop of the Trophy team. The Mongol Trophy 2008 will drive trough high Mountainous roads, rivers, mud and big steppes.
