Offroad & Photography Mongolia Tour

“My name is Max Muench. I'm a travel photographer from Berlin and I fell in love with Mongolia and its culture after visiting for the first time in 2016. Although it seemed a bit difficult to find my way around in the beginning, I kept returning over and over to get to know the country even better. That's how Follow The Tracks was created: I wanted to make it possible for my friends at home to explore this country on their own - all while profiting from my knowledge that I gathered throughout the years as well as from my extensive network of friends and local businesses, which I have acquired over the years, so eventually they would be able to experience all the things, that have made my visits so special.”

“As a photographer the country is everything you could ask for. The diversity, the colours, the people, the huge landscapes. We would stop many times throughout our drives to appreciate and photograph things we had never seen before and the people who lived there. For the vast incredible wilderness, the beautiful culture, and for the unlimited potential for photography, Mongolia has easily become our favourite place we have ever traveled.”
