Mongolia Dinosaur Tour 10 - Days
The red cliffs were on the sea bottom in ancient times, and still have petrified bones and eggs of dinosaurs from 60 million years ago. Of the twelve species of predatory dinosaurs, eight of them were found in Mongolia - the most famous discovery being made by Roy Chapman Andrews in the 1920s who dug up the remains of two dinosaurs who had fought each other to death.
Our tour takes you to the cliffs and to see the remains found so far - an amazing experience to tell your friends back home.
