Itinerary

Day 1TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN- WHITE STUPA

Start your journey by experiencing the vastness and emptiness of Mongolia as you drive to Mandalgobi, a small town and the capital of the Middle Gobi province. Upon reaching Mandalgobi, have lunch in a local restaurant for your first taste of Mongolian meals.

After that, head to “White Stupa”, one of the amazing natural formation in Gobi desert.

Once a floor of the ocean, the largest colorful limestone formation offers a treat to the eyes. The various earth tones represent different eras, offering a glimpse into the past when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The site may even resemble the ruins of an ancient city or stupa from a distance. Take a light walk down the hill, capturing pictures of this unique landscape that stretches over 400 meters.

In the evening, engage in traditional games for a touch of local culture and entertainment.

Day 2 To the Valley- Yol Vulture Valley

TO THE VALLEY!

As mentioned before, Gobi is not a normal desert, it has big mountain range and high valley. On the way to discovering these valleys, we’ll make a stop in Dalanzadgad city and visit the South Gobi Museum to learn more about the area.

After lunch, we’ll arrive at Yol Valley, where an ancient river carved a surprisingly green valley in the middle of a hot desert. When temperature outside the valley is over 30 degrees, it will just over 10 degrees offering contrast. Yol Valley is located in Gurvansaikhan National Park, showcasing diverse flora and fauna. The canyon concludes with remnants of ice that persist even in the summer. A hike through the valley reveals the habitat of indigenous wildlife like Lammergeiers, yaks, and Argali mountain sheep, wild goats and even small habitats like marmot.

As you leave the valley, enjoy a traditional dress-up session to flood your social media page with cultural perfect-picture.

Day 3To the Mongolia's biggest sand dune- Khongor sand dune

“TO THE SINGING DUNE!

A 150 km drive takes you to the famous sand dunes of the Gobi desert- Khongor Sand Dune. The sand dunes, 180 km long, 20km wide, located between steppes and mountains, appears suddenly. The impressive dunes are bordered by lush green vegetation and a small river named ‘Khongor.’

Feel the exhilaration of camel riding on the soft, golden sands of the dunes, creating unforgettable moments in the heart of the Gobi. Reaching the top of the dune is highly recommended for those who would like to treat their eyes with an amazing view. The sunset is breathtaking and rewards those who manage to reach the top.

Experience a beautiful evening in a local camp, surrounded by entirely different surroundings than the ones you encountered yesterday.

Day 4TO THE HOME OF DINOSAURS- FLAMMING CLIFFS

A morning drive will take you to the Havtsgait Valley, a site adorned with ancient rock drawings left by early Gobi settlers over 5,000-7,000 years ago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the mountaintop where hundreds of petroglyphs grace scattered rocks, telling the story of a bygone era and enjoy the panoramic view from the top.

Explore the mystical beauty of Flaming Cliffs (Bayan Zag), a terrain that transports you to a different realm, with its silent orange glow and famous dinosaur fossil discoveries. Enjoy a documentary featuring Roy Chapman Andrews, whose expedition discovered the world’s first dinosaur eggs at the Gobi’s Flaming Cliffs, before driving out to the cliffs.

As the night unfolds, indulge in the enchanting experience of stargazing, marvelling at the moon’s red brilliance and the captivating night sky. Immerse yourself in the Gobi’s magical sunsets and sunrise, leaving an indelible mark on your heart.

Day 5TO THE NOMADS - EXPERIENCE REAL NOMADIC LIFE

Explore the lush landscapes of Mongolia on a captivating journey blending history and tradition. Begin at Ongi Monastery, one of Mongolia’s largest Buddhist complexes. Notice the landscape gradually changing from a desert-like area to a green expanse.

Afterward, dive into the nomadic way of life. Uncover the soul of the Gobi Desert with a visit to a Gobi Nomadic Family, offering you a firsthand glimpse into their traditional lifestyle and hospitality. Join a local family, engage in heartwarming conversations, and try your hand at milking cows and goats. Don’t miss the chance to brew your own vodka—a unique and personal souvenir.

This fusion of historical richness at Ongi Monastery and the immersive nomadic experience creates an authentic Mongolian adventure. Immerse yourself in the essence of Mongolia, where the past and present harmonize for an unforgettable travel experience.

As the evening unfolds, gather around for a traditional Mongolian barbecue, known as horhog, savoring authentic flavors in the midst of nature.

Day 6TO THE OLD CAPITAL!- KHARKHORIN, ELSEN TASARHAI!

Bye Gobi, Hi Central Mongolia

Star your a journey to Kharkhorin city, surrounded by the breathtaking vistas of the Mongolian green steppes. Situated in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Orkhon Valley, Kharkhorin served as the capital of the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, marking the zenith of the world’s largest empire. Continue your cultural exploration with a visit to the ancient Erdenezuu Monastery, one of the biggest Buddhist centers in Mongolia, boasting walls built using the ancient capital’s wall and rich history embedded within.

After a lunch, head to Elsen Tasarkhai, an expansive sand dune stretching over 80 km, located 200 km from Ulaanbaatar. Experience the diverse nature of Elsen Tasarkhai, often referred to as Mini Gobi, where sand dunes, high mountain hills, rivers, and grassland converge. Further explore the area with a leisurely hike amidst the sand dunes, a stroll through lush green grass, or playful moments by the river.

As the evening arrives, sit around the campfire, have warm conversations, and enjoy the company of Mongolians.

Have fun in Mongolian way!
