Today, our destination is Tsagaan Suvarga, also known as the ‘White Stupa.’ The cliffs of Tsagaan Suvarga exhibit a stunning array of colors, ranging from white and yellow to red and orange. These vibrant hues are the result of different minerals and clay compositions in the rock layers. You can enjoy hiking around this colorful Stupa.
