The first stop will be 250 kilometers south in the lovely region of Baga Gazriin Chuluu. It’s a big granite formation smack dab in the center of Mongolia’s sandy plain.
The remains of a small monastery known as Delgeriin Choir Monastery can be found on an open plain. You will be entering à Ger for the first time, and you will be greeted by a massive 12-walled structure. Monks use the ger, which is richly decorated and carved, to chant during the colder seasons when the stone monastery becomes too cold to be inside.
You can drive and hike around the area in the late afternoon. You’ll walk between massive endlessly piled granite rocky hills that appear to be placed, and see the picturesque ruins of a small monastery hidden in a peaceful little protected valley. In the rocks of Baga Gazriin Chuluu, there is a small spring known for its eye-healing properties. Try dripping some magic water into your eyes to cure your eyes like the locals do.

Today we will be driving to South Gobi province town Dalanzadgad. The Gobi Desert extends through Mongolia and China, measuring 1,610 kilometers from southwest to northeast and 800 kilometers from north to south. It covers an area of 1,295,000 km2, making it the world’s fifth largest desert and Asia’s largest. although most of the Gobi is coated in bare rock rather than sand.
During the winter months, the Gobi is a cold desert with frost snow on its dunes. In addition to being far north, it is situated on a plateau between 910 and 1,520 meters above sea level, which leads to the cold temperatures. The Gobi receives around 194 millimetres of rain per year on average. In the winter, snow blown from the Siberian Steppes enters parts of the Gobi, providing additional moisture. The Gobi experiences temperature extremes ranging from –40°C in the winter to +50°C in the summer due to these winds.
We’ll take a trip through the majestic Altai Mountain Range’s breathtaking gorges. The Yolyn and Dungenee Am, both in the Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park, will be visited. Those green valleys were carved by ancient rivers.
Wild Argali sheep, Ibex, desert gazelles, and Golden Eagles are also possible sightings. We’ll also pay a visit to the park’s small museum, which houses a collection of dinosaur bones as well as local flora and fauna.

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll travel 150 kilometers west to the Khongoryn Els. Mongolia’s biggest sand dunes can be found here. The dunes, which can reach a height of 275 meters in some areas, extend for more than 100 kilometers from East to West. The sands have appealing curves that end in a sharp point, resulting in wave patterns on the sand. The impressive black rocky mass of Sevrey Mountain can be seen behind the sand dunes. Here, we’ll meet two humped camel breeding families and learn about their sweet, modest, hard-working, but incredible way of life. The Gobi Desert is the world’s coldest desert, with cold winds blowing almost the whole autumn, winter, and spring without any shelter uncovered in the plains, necessitating extreme survival methods of living. Gobi nomads are well-known in Mongolia for their dedication to hard work.

We will arrive at our family’s house in the morning, load our belongings onto camels, and begin camel riding along the dune. During our four-day camel journey, we will be led by an experienced camel herder. Antelopes and black-tailed gazelles abound in the Gobi and perhaps, if we’re lucky, we’ll get a peek. We’ll learn how to water the camels and care for them in the same way that nomads do. We’ll have plenty of time to explore the area before setting up our first campsite. As the sun sets and the desert cools, may you find peace in your heart and healing in your soul.

We’ll continue our camel-riding adventure through the Gobi Desert’s rolling sand dunes. The first shift in the landscape would be Chono Kharaikh, a stream that flows between sand dunes. It’ll just be you and your thoughts in a never ending land. Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself

We’ll ride to Red Hill today and return the same way. Take in the breathtaking scenery of the Gobi Desert. Wind causes the dunes to change shape and show yellow-white colors as the strength of light varies during the day.

On our last day of camel riding, we’ll return to the “Singing Sands” to visit the camel breeding family. We’ll arrive in the afternoon, say our goodbyes, and depart for our Ger camp.

Today’s drive will take us to Bayanzag, also known as the “Flaming Cliffs,” the world-famous site where palaeontologist Roy Chapman Andrews discovered dinosaur bones and eggs. The local scenery is a lovely blend of rocks, red sand, and scrubs. Spend some time exploring the cliffs while you’re here.

The time has come to leave this beautiful place and fly back to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s capital. You can use your free afternoon to see as you fit. You could always go see the lovely cultural show and admire the contortionists while watching colorful and rhythmic Mongolian dances.
