Welcome to the Outdoor Adventure Series podcast! In this episode, we're back in Newberry Springs, California, to explore a unique cultural oasis just off the historic Route 66—the Bataar Camp. Joined by Umba Go, the founder of this Mongolian Yurt Camp, listeners will discover how Umba is sharing the authentic experience of Mongolian nomadic culture in the California desert. 

You'll hear about the inspiration behind the camp’s name, the significance of yurts, and how the camp serves as both a gathering place for the Mongolian community and an inviting destination for travelers eager to enjoy the desert experience, try traditional foods, enjoy cultural games, and take part in upcoming events like the annual Mongolian-style festival. Whether you’re fascinated by global traditions or seeking your next adventure, this episode offers a firsthand look at how one entrepreneur is building cultural bridges under the wide desert sky.
