Individual Self-Drive Offroad & Photography Mongolia Tour

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.

On this self-drive tour you will get a specially equipped 4x4 rental car and a tablet as your personal digital guide that will assist you to easily and safely navigate through Mongolia. All accommodations and activities are already arranged for you! And the best – you'll get free access to the Online Photography Masterclass to, if you like, improve your own photography skills.

Special highlight: throughout your journey you will stay with real nomads in the desert, steppes and mountains and get to know their culture first hand and very personal.

“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.”
