• Day 1

  THE GREAT WHITE STUPA IN THE DESERT

  Ulaanbaatar – White stupa 450km

  • Today we will be driving thru vast and empty rocky desert and semi-arid steppe to reach out to White Stupa. Mongolians always have admired and honored this unique natural formation of 30ms height, abrupt, stupa-shaped slopes as White Stupa. The place definitely will remind travelers of a lunar landscape with its mystery of fossils hidden underneath and stunning color combinations. The area is deemed to be the bottom of an ancient ocean.
  • Overnight optional: Tourist ger camp / nomadic family ger (B+L+D)

  
• Day 2

  THE FLAMING CLIFFS OF BAYANZAG

  White Stupa– Bayanzag 260km

  • Arrive at the cliffs of Bayanzag, most commonly known as “Flaming Cliffs” for its bister red color which is the cradle of dinosaurs. A Saxaul forest not far from the cliffs and cliffs themselves is true evidence of the time when Earth was still inhabited by massive creatures-the dinosaurs. American explorer Roy Andrews Chapman was the first to reveal dinosaur fossils and eggs in 1922 from Bayanzag and other neighboring localities which are today displayed in Mongolian dinosaur museums in Ulaanbaatar and other museums around the world.

  KHONGOR SAND DUNES

  Bayanzag- Khongor sand dunes 150km

  • Continue driving to the west of the park to Khongor sand dunes which are known as the highest and biggest dunes in the country.
  • Stop at Khongoriin Els or Khongor sand dunes. These are the most astonishing dunes in Mongolia with extensions of over 180kms length and around 3-15kms width and the average height is 80ms. The highest dune is 200ms and from the top of these dunes, you will capture an amazing view of Gobi with the most beautiful sunrise and sunset. When you climb the dunes they shift and cause a sound of vibration that very much resembles the sound of an airplane hence it’s also called Singing Dunes.
  • When you are in Gobi, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to get on the Bactrian Camels. It’s obviously one of the most remarkable experiences to trek on the camels along the dunes, on the green lush down the foot of the dunes. Our camel riding will last until we reach a small oasis where there are some Gobi bushes and shrubs. Camels are great lovers of Saxaul shrubs and it’s considered as the most precious wood in the desert for its outstanding survival and growth on desert soil. You will surely enjoy the pristine nature and high mountains during the ride.

  THREE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS- GOBI GURVAN SAIKHAN

  Khongor sand dunes – Yoliin am 180km

  • Today we will reach Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park which covers a chain of mountain ranges at the southern end of the Gobi-Altai Mountain range. Gurvan Saikhan literally meaning “Three Beauties” referred to the highest three peaks of the range which is almost over 2800ms.
  • Hiking in the Yoliin Am or Bearded Vulture’s Canyon. Regarding the snowfall and shade in the canyon, oftentimes there formed a high layer of ice cover which sometimes will stay till mid-July. During our walk, we may either walk on top or bottom or just see the parts of this ice. The canyon is surrounded by steep Rocky Mountains creating some shade that is pleasant to hike thru during the hot days of the Gobi desert. During out hike, you may notice some rodents such as pica and ground squirrel along with colorful wildflowers and plants. Although mountains are the home of wildlife like ibex, mountain goats, and argali, the wild sheep, spotting these animals will purely depend on fortune.
