Travel Itinerary
Day1 6/12 FRI · Overture in Ulaanbaatar
Tonight, a private welcome dinner opens the journey—not as a briefing, but as a gathering of energies and a setting of intentions, preparing us for the dimensional dialogue ahead.
(A Ulaanbaatar city guide will be provided for you to explore the capital at your own pace.)
Day2 6/13 SAT · Opening the Oracle's Gate
Witness the opening ceremony—shamans from across the globe enter in full regalia, ancient prayers rising with the wind. You are not merely observing; you are immersed in a living field of drumming, dance, and spiritual invocation. This is ritual as performance, and culture as resonance.
As night falls, the ceremonial fire is lit. Beneath a canopy of stars, drums pulse like a collective heartbeat. Here, there are no boundaries between stage and spectator—only the flow of shared energy. Sit with the shamans around the fire. Listen. Feel. Speak if you are called. This is your moment to truly belong to the night.
Day3 6/14 SUN · Purification: Ancient Rituals & Echoes of Life
Explore how shamanism lives in daily nomadic life: in the ger's orientation, in the rhythm of migration. Listen as elders speak—wisdom not taught, but felt.
At night, the Fire Ritual. Sacred flames rise, drums pulse like a second heartbeat. You need only be present—and something ancient stirs.
Day4 6/15 MON · Intelligent Discourse: Cosmology & Private Fire Ritual
A senior shaman joins us for a private masterclass: unpacking the cosmology of the three worlds, the symbolic language of drum, robe, and mask. This is not lecture, but living knowledge. Your questions, your curiosity—all welcome.
As night falls, savor authentic Khorkhog (stone barbecue) to the quiet strains of the morin khuur. At nine, the sacred fire is lit—a private ritual of offering and intention, held for our group alone. Beneath the vast steppe sky, with the shaman's guidance, you connect not just to the moment, but to something far older. Something that was always waiting.
Day5 6/16 TUE · Khoomei Masterclass & Meditation
Afternoon with a Khoomei master. Hear the ancient throat sing, then find your own voice echoing with stream and stone. Then a two-hour trek to Ariyabal Meditation Monastery—reachable only on foot.
Night in a steppe ger. Stars above, silence within.
Day6 6/17 WED · The Return: Carrying the Echoes of the Steppe
Carry with you the wind of the Altai, the wisdom awakened by shaman drums, and a silence that will follow you home.
The journey ends—but the echo lasts.
