Gobi and Kharkhorum Tour

Gobi and Kharkhorum Tour 9 Days/ 8 Nights

We will meet you at your location at 8:30 am. Then, our tour will depart to Kharkhorum. Kharkhorum was the capital of the Mongol Empire from 1235 to 1263. Today, Kharkhorum is a small village and one of Mongolia’s major tourist destinations. Explore the Erdene Zuu Monastery, built in 1585 on the ruins of the ancient city.

Ongi Monastery is located at the foot of Mount Saikhan Ovoo, near the village of Saikhan Ovoo in the province of Dundgovi. The monastery was one of the largest and most respected monasteries in Mongolia before it was destroyed in 1939 by the communist authorities. Even though there isn’t much left, it’s still interesting to visit and explore the ruins.

Today, we will be driving to Bayanzag. Bayanzag, also known as The Flaming Cliffs, is famous for its historical events, dinosaur fossils, and the very first discovery of dinosaur eggs. American explorer Roy Chapman Andrews, known for leading a series of expeditions, named this site “Flaming Cliffs” because the colors become even more vibrant, especially at sunset. 

Khongor Sand Dunes are among the largest sand dunes in Mongolia, covering an area of 180 kilometers in length. The tallest dunes, reaching heights of up to 800 meters, are in the northwestern part of the range. Climbing these dunes can be tough for many people. But when you get to the top, you’ll see an amazing view of the desert. Experience riding on two-humped Bactrian camels.

Yol Valley is a beautiful narrow valley in Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park in Mongolia. Tall cliffs and rocks add to the valley’s stunning appearance. You can explore the towering cliffs, narrow passages, and even come across a glacier that doesn’t melt until the end of June. Enjoy a leisurely hike and capture charming landscapes and wildlife through photography.

Today’s 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.

 Today, we will explore Rock Formations. Baga Gazariin Chuluu is a huge area of rocks, 15 km long and 10 km wide, in the Middle Gobi. It’s famous for its beautiful views, with rough rocks that look different from the sandy desert around. You can walk around the rocks, go for a hike, and enjoy the special scenery.

Terelj National Park is famous for its beautiful landscapes, like lush valleys, winding rivers, and rugged rock formations. Enjoy hiking to Ariyabal Meditation Temple. From the top of the temple, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the national park. Horse riding 1h
