Exclusively guided by our founder, Nancy Johnston

This transformative and once in a lifetime immersive learning retreat is exclusively guided by our founder, Nancy Johnston. 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.

Ancient wisdom and nomadic culture

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.

The mountain is more than land - it is ancestor, guardian, and spirit

In this rugged, unspoilt part of the world, Mongolian nomadic communities revere mountains as sacred beings – alive, powerful, and deeply intertwined with spiritual and ancestral life. You’ll encounter nomadic herders, custodians of the majestic Khangai Mountains for countless generations, and indigenous animals such as the sacred Khangai yak and camels, the source of Tengri’s noble fibres.

Behind-the-scenes access - The Tengri Way

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.

Supporting the wildlife conservation and restoration

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.

Spaces are limited and offered by invitation or application only.

Participation helps deliver the Tengri Future Stewards Programme, an investment in the next generation of nomadic stewards. All proceeds fund the Source Mountain Summer Learning Camp – where children learn English, build confidence, and grow under the Eternal Blue Sky, delivered in partnership with local communities and supported by volunteer teachers.
