Munkhbayar

With a lifetime in the saddle, Munkhbayar shares the soul of the Gobi — its landscapes, people and timeless traditions.

Munkhbayar grew up in Dundgovi, where his family still keeps camels. Twelve seasons guiding the dunes and the flaming cliffs have made him one of the most trusted desert guides in the country. He knows where the wells are, which family will have fresh airag, and exactly when the light turns gold over Khongoryn Els.
