Day 1: Our staff will meet you and transfer to the center of capital city Ulaanbaatar . Guided city tour to Gandan Lamasery, Natural history museum and Choijin Lama Monastery. In the evening have a nice look to the city from the Zaisan Memorial.
Day 2: In the morning at 8 o'clock start the tour to the Middle Gobi province. During the driving we will pass one of the beautiful and holly Mountain “Ikh Khairkhan”. Today we will spend the night around the “Baga Gazriin Chuluu”.
Day 3: After breakfast in the morning at 7:30 we will drive to the Famous South Gobi. This day will be the longest day of driving without seeing anything on the way. But we will pass one small town where we can see life of country people in Mongolia.

Day 4: Early in the morning we will explore the Yol canyon. The valley is an unusual narrow canyon with a river that flows through the Zuun Saikhan Mountain. The sheer rock walls stand 200m and the canyon has stunning green meadows with a thick glacier layer that is deeply set between the walls. During the summer rainfall, water runs from the top of the walls forming waterfalls. We will trek along the canyon and may get a glimpse of rarely seen Argali wild sheep, Ibex mountain goat and Yol Lammergeier.
After two hours walking in the canyon we will have breakfast and drive further to the Great “Khongor” Sand Dune, known as Singing Dunes.

Day 5: Khongoriin Els sand dunes that stretch for an extraordinary 180 km, are sometimes as wide as 7-20km. The intense sound of wind-blown sand can be heard from long distances. This sound is so melodic that 200m high sand dunes are called "Singing Dunes". There is an oasis called Khongor with stunning greenery in the summer. Here we will have an opportunity to ride two humped Bacterian camels to the dunes.
Day 6: After an early breakfast drive to the famous “Bayanzag”, which means ‘rich in saxual scrubs' or known as “Red Flaming cliffs”, this was first found in 1922 by Roy Chapman. It's homeland of ancient dinosaurs. It is a classic desert of rock, red sands, scrub, sun and emptiness.

Day 7: In the morning drive to the Ongi Monastery (Ongiin Khiid). Ongiin Khiid is known as complex of ruins of two monasteries called Barlim Khiid and Khutagt Khiid. There is not much left to see, but there are plenty of interesting ruins to explore and one of the monasteries is rebuilt recently.
