Two important monks lived here in the 19th century, leaving behind inscriptions and drawings. The area is known for its spiritual atmosphere, wildlife, and diverse plant life.

Day 4: Journey to Tsagaan Suvraga

After breakfast, we drive to Tsagaan Suvarga (White Stupa) in Ulziit soum, Dundgobi province. These stunning cliffs were formed from ancient sediment layers dating back 10 million years. Their colorful bands and dramatic gorges create a prehistoric, otherworldly landscape—perfect for exploring and photography.

Accommodation: Ger camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner



Day 5: Journey to Yol Valley

After breakfast, we leave Tsagaan Suvarga and travel to Yoliin Am, located 45 km from Dalanzadgad at 2800 m altitude. This deep, narrow canyon in the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan Mountains is one of the best places to spot wildlife and enjoy dramatic scenery. Named after the lammergeier (Yol), the valley often holds a 1–1.5 m thick ice sheet in summer, with only a narrow strip of sky visible between the high canyon walls.

Accommodation: Ger camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner



Day 6: Journey to Khongor Sand Dunes



Seven kilometers north of the Flaming Cliffs, we visit a unique desert tree grove found only in Central Asia. Then we cross slate mountains and 80 km of Ongi steppes to Ongi Monastery, once one of Mongolia’s largest. Destroyed in the 1930s, its ruins stretch across both banks of the Ongi River. Explore a restored temple, the ger museum, the monastery remains, and climb a nearby hill for panoramic views.

Accommodation: Ger camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner




Day 7: Journey to Bayanzag

We visit Bayanzag (Flaming Cliffs), named by paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews and world-famous since the 1920s for its dinosaur fossils and eggs. Even without the paleontology, the red cliffs, desert sands, and wide open landscapes make it an unforgettable stop. Bayanzag is located about 90 km from Dalanzadgad.

Accommodation: Ger camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 8: Journey to Ongi Monastery

After a long drive from Bayanzag, we arrive at Ongiin Khiid Monastery, located along the 435 km–long Ongiin River. Founded in 1660, it once stood as one of Mongolia’s largest monastery complexes, with dozens of temples and several Buddhist universities. The site was destroyed in 1939 during the communist purges, and many monks were killed or displaced. Today, ruins remain scattered across the hills, alongside a small restored section where monks have returned since the 1990s.

Accommodation: Ger camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 9: Journey to Kharkhorum& Erdenezuu Monastery
Day2: Heading to Terelj National Park
Day 10: Drive back to Ulaanbaatar

After a brief walk along the Ongi River, we continue to Karakorum, the 13th-century capital of the Mongol Empire. Founded by Chinggis Khan and later built up by Ogedei, it became a major center for trade and diplomacy before the capital moved to Beijing. The city was eventually abandoned and destroyed in 1388.

Nearby is the Erdene Zuu Monastery, built in the 16th century using materials from the ruins of Karakorum. Although heavily damaged during the Stalinist purges, it remains one of Mongolia’s most important historical sites.

Accommodation: Ger camp

After a short visit to the local museum and nearby sights, we drive back toward Ulaanbaatar. On the way, we stop at Elsen Tasarhai, a beautiful stretch of sand dunes about 70 km long—an ideal place to enjoy the scenery if you’re not visiting Khongoryn Els. We’ll have meals at local cafés along the way and continue through the scenic Khogno Khan Nature Reserve before reaching UB.
