City tour including Gandan Monastery and the National Museum. Rest of the day you have some time to prepare for the trip.
Take domestic flight to Dalanzadgad, Umnogobi province which is the capital city of Southern Gobi deset. Drive to Yoliin am, a sunless canyon located in the middle of the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan Mountain. Small streams flow through the gorges, and in winter they are covered with ice. There was ice throughout the year, but in recent years, due to global warming, most ice has melted. In some places, where the canyons do not have the eternal sun, the ice is thicker than 1 meter. /Air 560 km, 1.5 hour & dirt/paved road 60 km 2 hours/
Next day our travel itinerary continues as a Khongor Sand Dunes. The sand stretches for about 180 kilometers behind the Sevrei and Zuulkhon mountain. It covers an area of 965 square kilometers and runs from north to west. It is very beautiful to see the sand in the valley, with the rocky mountain in front, the sandy dunes in the middle, and the oaks along the northern slopes. You will have an opportunity to visit a camel herdsman family to experience their lifestyle, culture and traditions. /200km 5 hours of driving, camel ride 1 hour/
In the South Gobi aimag (Umnugovi Province) is a clayey sedimentary zone located in the vast valley along the mountains. The red sandy loamy soil, stretching from south to south, about 5 km wide and 8 km long, is a hardened place. The red muddy soils of the Bayanzag look like red flames burning in the evening sun, so they are called “flaming cliffs. In other words, it is the land that glorified the Mongolian Gobi in the world. The bay is surrounded by northern forests. In that forest you can still find traces of the ancient people who lived 40,000 years ago and even earlier. /160km 4 hours of driving/
Take domestic flight back to Ulanabatar from Dalanzadgad. Drive to Terelj National Park.
