Watch Trialer
“My name is Max Muench. I'm a travel photographer from Berlin and I fell in love with Mongolia and its culture after visiting for the first time in 2016. Although it seemed a bit difficult to find my way around in the beginning, I kept returning over and over to get to know the country even better. That's how Follow The Tracks was created: I wanted to make it possible for my friends at home to explore this country on their own - all while profiting from my knowledge that I gathered throughout the years as well as from my extensive network of friends and local businesses, which I have acquired over the years, so eventually they would be able to experience all the things, that have made my visits so special.”
What is Follow The Tracks?
... is the first self-drive 4x4 trip through Mongolia that takes you and your friends to incredible places along Max' favourite locations, away from the tourist spots and immerses you deeply in the culture of the country: during your trip you will meet desert and steppe nomads as well as the eagle hunters! You will stay with them for a few nights and experience Mongolia up close.
You can discover the country on different routes; our new app on a tablet guides you safely through the country and gives you exciting information about every location.

“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.”
