Day 8: Yoliin Am to Khongoryn Els B/L/D This morning, journey to Khongoryn Els. Upon arrival you’ll enjoy a traditional lunch and then visit a family of camel breeders. Stay overnight at the Gobi- Erdene Ger camp in a wooden house. Day 9: Khongoryn Els B/L/D Explore Mongolia`s largest sand dune, which is affectionately known as the ‘singing dune’. Enjoy the beauty of the vast, clear landscapes, and – for those who are feeling adventurous – climb to the very top of the dune to enjoy an unparalleled view. Day 10: Khongoryn Els to the Bayanzag Flaming Cliffs B/L/D Today you’ll begin your journey to the Bayanzag Flaming Cliffs to witness the magnificent landscapes, and the place where the first ever fossilised dinosaur eggs were found. The cliffs themselves are brightly coloured and completely flat on top, as rain and wind has eroded the layers which formed them from the edges. Be introduced to the history of how Roy Chapman Andrews had made the ultimate discovery of the fossilised dinosaur eggs and bones over a century ago. Day 11: Bayanzag Flaming Cliffs to Ongyn Khiid B/L/D Wake up early to see the rising sun over the vast Gobi landscape. Afterwards, driving from the Central to the Northwest point of the Gobi, proceed to Ongyn Khiid. Located at the banks of Ongi River, you’ll have a chance to view the ruins of two famed monasteries on your afternoon hike: the Barlim Khiid to the North, and the Khutagt Khiid to the South. Combined together, these form the complex known as Ongiin Khiid. Day 12: Ongyn Khiid to the Orkhon Valley B/L/D Get ready for another part of your adventure where you’ll explore Mongolia’s Ancient Capital City Karakorum, located in the Orkhan Valley. Chinggis Khaan chose Karakorum as the Capital of the Empire in Central Mongolia, and the surrounding Orkhon Valley was the centre of action for various nomadic dynasties that preceded the Mongol Empire, and so the area holds enormous symbolic importance. Day 13 Orkhon Valley B/L/D Visit the Erdenezuu monastery, the museum of Karakorum, Phallic Rock and Turtle Rock. Day 14: Khustai National Park B/L/D Today you’ll be driving to the Khustai National Park; famous for the preservation of its ‘przewalski’ (wild horses) that have been re-introduced back to the natural landscapes and savannahs. The National Park is famous not only for its wild horses but for other mammals also, along with various floras and faunas. Get introduced to the National Park and proceed deep inside the park to search for the prized przewalski. Day 15: Ulaanbaatar B/L/D After breakfast you’ll drive back to Ulaanbaatar. Once you’ve arrived at the city, spend a leisurely afternoon unwinding and exploring. Enjoy a colourful traditional Mongolian folk concert in the evening, over a farewell dinner. Day 16: Ulaanbaatar to UK Today, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your return flight back to the UK, or continue on to your chosen extension.
