Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1: Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia to Baga Gazariin Chuluu, Mongolia

We drive to a boundary area of Gobi desert & central steppe part of Mongolia which is named ‘’baga gazariin chuluu”. It is 260km to south direction from Ulaanbaatar. The destination is surrounded by rocky mountains which are formatted with granite stones, there is ruins and some memorials of small buddist temple which is badly damaged by political repression, cold spring in the unique and incredible location of the rock, it is called “eye spring”. So visitors and local people drop it into their eyes. It is considered that good for eye vision. There are some local nomads who offers ger accommodation for travelers and also tourist camps

Day 2: Baga Gazariin Chuluu, Mongolia to White stupa, Өлзийт, Mongolia

This day we drive about 3 hours and reach ‘tsagaan suvarga’’. This is one of great wonders of Mongolian gobi desert. This white and colourfull rock formation stands around 30 metres in height and has been shaped strangely as a result of thousands of years of wind and water erosion. It seems like a floor of sea, so it is a clear evidence that there was sea millions years ago

Day 3: Tsagaan Suvarga (White Stupa), Mongolia to Yolin Am Ice Field, Mongolia

‘’Yoliin am’’ means golden eagle”s valley. There is huge stone canyons and big eagles built up their nests on the rock, day time we can see flying eagles over high peaks of the rocky canyons. The Eagles have white colour on their chest. So they are named golden eagle. It is the coldest area of Mongolian gobi desert,because high rocky walls hide enormous space from sunshine. So there pretty big layers of ice lay until middle of July.It is really good to do hiking through canyons. There also we visit an interesting museum

Day 4: Yolin Am Ice Field, Mongolia to Hongorïn Els, Mongolia

drive around more than 3 hours on the earth road and then reach the sandslope which is named ‘’khongoriin els’’. The sandslope is also called as a singing dune, when it is windy day sand makes something noise like airplane. The sandslope lays around 180km from west to east direction, the wide is 3-4km,but the widest part is 20km… the highest peak is around 200metres, but climbing the highest peak up is not so easy and it is a lot of fun for travellers. This brilliant ,incredible place gives us amazing activities such as camelriding ,sandsledding ,climbing up and other exotic feelings. So we normally stay here for 2 nights. Definitely we could create unforgettable memories and lots of fun

Day 5: Khongor sand dune, Mongolia to Flaming Cliffs, Mongolia

In the morning we drive to the flaming cliffs. The destination has 2 names ‘’baynzag’’ and flaming cliffs.

In the early years of last century /1920s/ American anthropologist Roy Chapman Andrews was travelling through Mongolian gobi desert from China to Europe. During his journey he discovered flaming cliffs and found many dinosaur bones and eggs. Also natural formation and views are also incredible and red coloured walls are attractive. It seemed to be a bottom of sea millions years ago
