The man behind the camera

Documentary filmmaker, photographer and blogger Benj Binks grew up on a farm in Violet Town, Australia. From volunteering in the Amazon to cycling in Cambodia, Benj’s travels have spurred a lust for discovering cultures, places, people and stories. Over the years he has relayed these adventures through writing, photography and film.

Whilst working on the Trans-Siberian in 2004, he stumbled into a Mongolian nightclub bouncing to hip-hop and began working on Mongolian Bling in 2007 —a documentary about Mongolia’s youth and modern culture.

Want to visit Mongolia?

Living in Shanghai, the epitome of a bustling city, can get tiresome at times. With its towering skyscrapers and population of nearly 25 million, it’s hard to find nature or an empty stretch of land in this crazy city. For those who want a short break from the hectic situation that is Shanghai, you can easily travel to exotic destinations such as Mongolia with the help of Koryo Tours.

With more than ten years of experience leading tours in Mongolia, Rich Beal of Koryo Tours is leading a 5-night tour to Mongolia in Feb 2017 called “Mongolia – Land of the Winter Horse”.

Starting in the historical capital of Ulaanbaatar, this short winter break will give you an introduction to the history of this former Communist state before allowing you the chance to ride, photograph or relax on the Mongolian steppes. You will be able to visit museums, drop in to local markets, travel across picturesque countryside, sleep in a traditional Mongolian ger (yurt), and watch the stars from your bed.
