Offroad & Photography Mongolia Tour

“My name is Max Muench, I am a travel photographer from Berlin and in 2016, I went to Mongolia for the first time. I fell in love with the country and its culture and although it was quite difficult for me in the beginning to find my way around, I kept going back to Mongolia, again and again, to discover more. And this is how Follow the Tracks started: I wanted to encourage my friends at home to come and discover Mongolia too, but wanted them to benefit from the knowledge I had gathered and the local network I have built over the years, so they could experience all the things that made it so special for me.”

What is Follow The Tracks?

... is the first self-drive 4x4 trip through Mongolia that takes you and your friends to incredible places along Max' favourite locations, away from the tourist spots and immerses you deeply in the culture of the country: during your trip you will meet desert and steppe nomads as well as the eagle hunters! You will stay with them for a few nights and experience Mongolia up close.

You can discover the country on three different routes; our new app on a tablet guides you safely through the country and gives you exciting information about every location.

“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.”
