Wake up at 8:30 am, have breakfast and start your day happily. Get ready to go out, put on comfortable clothes, get on the bus, travel to other parts of Ulaanbaatar, and then go to Terelj.
On the way, we will visit the statue of Genghis Khan. The statue is the most significant (40m high) equestrian statue globally. There are souvenir shops, a small museum and other monuments in the base structure. Visitors can walk upstairs or take an elevator to a deck on a horse’s head and see a good panorama view over the complex area.
We will continue our trip to Terelj National Park, which is the most visited and attractive national park with natural beauty, forested alpine mountains, and interesting rock formations that are very well known. Have lunch at 13:00.
On the way, stop at Ovoo, a rock pile used for worshipping religion. Check-in and lunch at the tourist camp in the most spectacular spot in the national park.
In the afternoon, we will explore the national park and visit Turtle Rock, a natural, exciting rock formation that looks like a turtle. Continue to visit a Buddhist meditation temple with 108 stairs and a wire bridge called the Temple of Ariyabal. This temple is surrounded by scenic mountains with massive rock formations.

Day 4: Night in Gobi
- After the first night in Gobi, we woke up, had breakfast, packed our clothes, got into our cars, and went to Yol Valley.
- At the top of the Altai Mountains is the famous Yol Valley, the most beautiful place in the region, immortalised in the song "Three Beautiful". It is located about 650 kilometres south of Ulaanbaatar and is named after a rare Mongolian bird. Yol Valley is located at an altitude of more than 2800 meters above sea level. The height above ground is more than 200 meters. Ice and snow in the incredible canyon in four seasons of the year, where the eternal sun does not shine.
- Here, you can see why Mongolia's Gobi is called Gobi instead of a desert and why foreigners like Gobi so much. Next, we will go to Mukhar Shivert. It is included in one of the nine wonders of the province and has become a place of interest for domestic and foreign tourists. This is the highest glacier in the beautiful mountains of the East. A small spring flowing from a height of about 10 meters expands along the rock wall in winter and freezes to form a large ice cap. It's a cul-de-sac with almost no sun, so it can be icy until mid-summer.
- Drive deep into the mountain and walk 750 m beyond the parking lot with a unique sign to reach the beginning of Mukhar Shivert. On the hiking trail, you can see various animal and bird figures on both sides of the top of the mountain.
- We will spend the night in a traditional Mongolian home. We will have dinner at the tourist home camp, watch the beautiful night sky full of stars, and make fireworks. We will then sleep and relax in the incredible Gobi Mountains of Mongolia, leaving unforgettable memories.
-
Day 5: Khongor Sands
- Today, we don't have to get up early like other days. After a long journey, a good rest, breakfast, and resting for a while, we will go to the most fantastic place, Khongor Sands, when the afternoon sun opens up. Khongor sand is entirely desert; you can ride a camel in the golden sand and clear blue sky.
- You can also ride a horse. After having lunch at a nearby resort, you will start your journey in the middle of the desert.
- In the evening, we will return to the resort, and after going to other unique parts of this sum, we will have dinner and spend the night in a comfortable rest near this desert, one of the nine wonders of Mongolia.

Day 6: Return to Gurvan Sailhan
On this day, we will say goodbye to the dune and return to Gurvan Sailhan. I hope you have breakfast before leaving. We will visit White Supra and Gobi's beautiful places on the way.
The highest mountain in the Gobi Gurvansaikhan Range is Dzungsaikhan Mountain, 2846 meters above sea level. More than 350 tubular plants belonging to 164 species of 48 genera have been recorded in the natural complex, 48 of which are intermediate native plants and 11 are relict plants. Also native to Central Asia are Potanin's human pink flowers, desert sedum flowers, and black grass. In addition, there are elms, poplars, sedge forests, cypress groves, and reed thickets. There are 35 species of rhododendrons, 25 species of composite flowers, 23 species of sorghum, 21 species of sedges, 20 species of legumes, 18 species of sedges, ten species of onion, and eight species of sedges.
The tradition of creation, a rare and unique type of national traditional dance passed down from generation to generation, has been inherited among the western Mongolians, or Oirad, and has reached the present day. This incredible art was created only by nomads and has never been replicated by anyone, so it has become folk art.
We will sleep in a house near Gurvan Saikhan, where we have lunch and dinner. Today is the last evening, and we will say goodbye, exchange Mongolian souvenirs and small souvenirs brought from our country, enjoy Mongolian traditional dairy products, dance, and sing. We will end this day.
