A message from Max

When I visited Mongolia for the first time in 2016, I fell in love with the country immediately and started to look for ways to bring over my friends. It was always my wish to make them experience for themselves what made this country to one of my favourite places in the world.

I proudly present Follow The Tracks - the ultimate Self-Drive Tour through Mongolia, which brings you and your friends to my highlight spots and hidden places off the beaten paths. It also lets you dive deep into the Mongolian culture as you will stay with local nomad families, meet the legendary Eagle Hunters and ride camels into the sunset in Gobi Desert.

Parallel to the Self-Drive Tour I have developed an Online Photography Masterclass, filmed along this very route - to enable to you to improve your own skills, no matter if you are just starting or if you are an advanced photographer already. And if you even plan to build your own creative business, my Masterclass will give you the ultimate guidance to start your new career.

There is no need to travel to Mongolia to learn from the Masterclass! But to truly test your new knowledge out in the field - the Self-Drive Tour is the perfect solution.

Welcome to Follow The Tracks, and I’m excited to have you on board!

Self-Drive Tour

Travel to Mongolia and follow the tracks of outdoor photographer Max Muench independently with your friends. Max created the most photogenic route across his favourite travel destination for you to visit his favourite spots along and off the beaten paths..

Ulan Bator

Arrive in Mongolia's fast growing modern capital, ready yourself for the coming two weeks and dive into the rich culinary landscape of Ulaanbaatar.

Gobi Desert

The first part of the adventure leads you all the way to Gobi, Asia's largest desert. Explore one of the least densely populated regions on the planet and discover the beauty and diversity of this magical place. Did you know that you can fnd massive snow fields in the middle of the desert? You will also stay with a local camel herder and take breathtaking photographs of camels during sunset.

Central Mongolia

Discover the geographic heart of the nation! Central Mongolia is blessed with beautiful natural landscapes, historical sites and ancient Buddhist temples, home to the almost extinct Przewalski Horses in Khustain Nuruu National Park and the country's biggest waterfalls. Take a dip in one of the lakes and explore the area on a horseback. Stay with a local nomad family to dive deep into the Mongolian culture.

Altai Mountains

Mongolia's wild west features not only enormous snow-covered peaks and glaciers, beautifully flowered green medows and endless forests – the famous Kazakh Eagle Hunters call this mountainous place their home. You will meet them in person and learn more about their traditions while practicing your portrait photography skills. Stay up late to experience one of the darkest skies in the world.

Relax and enjoy a scenic flight over the both calm and dramatic landscapes of Mongolia. Discover the countless lakes of Northern Mongolia from the plane window and recall your favourite Self-Drive Experience memories.
