7 Great Places to Travel in Asia in 2023

"In July 2022, Nomadic Expeditions Wilderness Camp began to offer a new way to experience the country’s center, which is brimming with otherworldly landscapes that three nomadic groups call home. From late May to late September, when some 900 families migrate through Tsambagaray mountain pasture, guests can stay in 10 solar-powered gers, or traditional Mongolian tents, designed with ornate traditional textiles and warmed with wood burning stoves. With an all-local staff from the Bayan-Ulgii province, the camp employs people from more than 40 households. Members of the Uriankhai group teach visitors traditional archery, while the Uuld people share animal husbandry and dairy techniques." - Kathryn Romeyn
