Immersive Learning
Khangai Mountains Steppes, Western Mongolia
Join us on a one-of-a-kind journey to one of the world’s last unspoilt destinations.
Experience truly authentic culture and the spiritual essence of the Khangai region by travelling with an inspiring team of experts, ranging from local gurus, regional leaders, wildlife experts and storytellers. Their local knowledge and insights will reveal the intricate patterns and connections between the land, its people and wildlife.
Ancient wisdom and nomadic culture
This unique journey offers you behind-the-scenes access to the Tengri supply chain and sourcing, where the story of our rare Khangai Noble Fibres begins. For summer visits, the trip includes the traditional Yak Festival, celebrating this noble beast.
Behind-the-scenes access - The Tengri Way
This transformative and once in a lifetime immersive learning retreat is exclusively guided by Nancy Johnston, eco-luxury pioneer and founder of the house of Tengri. Sourcing sustainable rare fibres for Tengri takes us to remote corners of western Mongolia. Our relationship with indigenous families and in-depth, first-hand knowledge of this stunning landscape means we uniquely offer authentic and immersive experiences beyond the scope of traditional travel or educational programmes on sustainability.
Exclusively guided by our founder, Nancy Johnston
In this rugged, unspoilt part of the world you’ll encounter nomadic herders – custodians of the majestic Khangai Mountains for countless generations – and indigenous animals such as the semi-wild Khangai yak, the sustainable source of Tengri’s noble fibres.
One of the world’s last unspoilt destinations
Together with our partners, herder families, local conservationists, charity partners, local and national government, we offer one-of-a-kind trips centred around the preservation of nomadic culture, wildlife and land regeneration.
