Tour Itinerary
Day 1. Ulaanbaatar- Dalanzadgad- Bayanzag (flight 1.5hours)
In the morning, the driver will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to the airport. The flight takes 1.5 hours to the
South Gobi desert. Meet the guide and driver at Dalanzadgad airport, and then visit the Gobi Desert museum and have a cup of coffee
in the local cafe. Start the desert adventure at the aptly named “Flaming Cliffs. The adventure across the vast desert landscape will
continue, this time across what was a prehistoric sea bed. The flaming cliffs are a dream for fossil hunters. They were named by
American adventurer Roy Chapman Andrews who found the first fossils here in 1920. The Bayanzag area is great for hiking and
hunting for fossils. Stay overnight in a local family ger camp.
Day 2. Khongoryn Els
We will start driving at 10am after breakfast. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the gorgeous canyon, and then continue on to Khongoryn Els.
The sand dunes are the largest accumulation of sand in the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park. The spectacular dunes are bordered
by lush green vegetation supported by the Khongoryn Gol river, which is fed by underground sources from surrounding mountains.
Stay in a ger camp run by the local community, including a shower.
Day 3. Khongoryn Els
Take the opportunity to relax and truly appreciate the surrounding landscape. You will spend the day camel riding for the day, hiking,
sand sliding or hanging out with a local nomadic family. There will also be an opportunity to enjoy a shower and cold drinks from the
bar/restaurant as well as a night safari tour, where we will see some of the local wildlife.
Day 4. Yoliin Am Valley
After having breakfast, we will start the drive to Yoliin Am valley where you will have a hike through the gorge. Lunch will be in a
local restaurant, and we then continue to Yoliin Am (“vultures mouth”), which is a deep and narrow gorge in the Gobi Gurvansaikhan
National Park in Southern Mongolia. Yoliin Am is notable for a deep ice field. This ice field reaches several meters thick by the end of
winter, and is several kilometers long and can sometimes remain frozen throughout the summer. Overnight in a nomadic family ger,
and ride a horse in the sunset.
Day 5. Dalanzadgad - Ulaanbaatar
For a morning flight the driver will take you straight to the airport from the Yoliin Am valley. If the flight is in the afternoon flight, you
can take some time hiking or relaxing, and then start the drive towards Dalanzadgad to have lunch, and visit the local market. Your
last day of adventure in the desert ends with fond memories of your Gobi trip still clear in your mind!
We will organize a driver to collect you from the airport and take you to your accommodation!
