The flight takes one and a half hours, and on arrival at the airstrip in the Gobi a local driver will meet you and take you to Yolyn Am, or ‘Eagle Valley’. Take a trip to Yol Am – a wonderfully picturesque place with ice even in summer, and surrounded by sheer rocky walls, forming incredible canyons. Visit Gobi museum.

Day 4. Discover Gobi wildlife
Drive to Narandaats, a beautiful paradise where saxual trees, tooroi, and khailaas grow to such heights that one is reminded that they existed many hundreds of thousand of years ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the Gobi plains. Overnight in tent. (B+L+D)
Day 5. Drive to Khermen Tsav Canyon
In the morning we will drive to Khermen Tsav Canyon, which was made from thousands of year’s erosion of red sand and which stretches for about 10 km in the Gobi Desert.

We will have time to walk through the center of the canyon and explore the fascinating plant species and rock formations. Overnight in tent. (B+L+D)
Day 6. Free relaxing and Camel ride through sand dunes
Today you will be riding on camels to explore the Khongor Sand Dunes. The two-humped Bactrian camels are very comfortable to ride as they walk slowly and gently, and you will be well supported by the humps, sitting comfortably between them. Our camel man will lead you safely through the sand dunes. Plus, you will have an opportunity to visit a camel herdsman’s family to discover their way of life, their culture and traditions. Overnight in tourist camp. (B+L+D)
