Beschrijving
Explore the Gobi Desert on a 6-day tour from Ulaanbaatar. Ride camels, visit nomadic families, and hike through the ice-filled Yolyn Am gorge.
The Gobi Desert is one of the world's most dramatic landscapes, a place where ancient history meets untouched wilderness. Over 6 days, you'll experience the raw beauty and rich culture of Mongolia's most iconic region, guided by local experts who know every valley and story by name.
You'll stand at the fiery Flaming Cliffs (Bayanzag) as the sun sets in shades of orange and red, trek through the ice-filled Yolyn Am gorge where ancient waters carved dramatic granite walls, and ride Bactrian camels across the Khongoryn Els Sand Dunes, some of Mongolia's tallest. Along the way, you'll meet nomadic herding families in their traditional gers, share meals of authentic Mongolian cuisine, and camp under stars so bright they light up the desert night.
This is not a casual drive-through tour. You'll hike, ride horses, trek by camel, and spend real time learning from the people who call this place home. Every stop has a story, from paleontological sites where dinosaur eggs were first discovered to hidden caves and ancient monastery ruins tucked into granite rock formations.
