Itinerary

In the morning, we will pick you up from your accommodation and transfer to the airport. After you
landed in Dalanzadgad airport, our tour guide and driver will pick you up and drive to Yoliin am a
valley (40 km). Yol means bearded, lammergeier vulture in Mongolian and the valley begins from
Zuun Saikhan Mountain and stretches over 10 km. At the end of the valley, the high rocky gorge
starts. The gorge is completely shaded from the direct sunshine by high cliffs and rocks. The gorge
is famous for its glacier. There is ice created in winter by a small stream of the valley present there
even until the end of July. The beauty of the valley, combined with the smell of juniper creates an
atmosphere of awe and wonder. During a hike through valley, we will search to see Ibex and
lammergeier vulture. Early in the morning hike, we will see gobi desert rare birds here. During a hike,
big mouses will entertain us. As well, we visit to a local natural museum of Gobi Gurvan Saikhan
National Park.
Then we will drive to Bayanzag (101 km). Bayanzag means saxual forest in Mongolian and area of
red cliffs “Bayanzag” which have been formed from the erosion of the water and wind over millions of
years. A lot of dinosaurs fossil findings such as Protoceratops, carnivorous and a dinosaur’ eggs
shell have been found there in the first time. American zoologist Roy ChapmanAndrews discovered
this place and named as Flaming Cliffs. The red colored cliffs themselves are very imposing from a
distance and are particularly fiery in the light of the setting sun. It is an interesting place to wander
about to get a closer look at one of the worlds most famous paleontologist sites. In the evening we
will walk around the site. Stay in tourist camp overnight there.

After breakfast, we will drive to Khongor Sand Dune (152 km). Khongor is second biggest sand
dune in the country that extends along the northern side of Sevrei and Zoolun mountain ranges. It
ranges from 5 - 30 km in width, nearly 180 km long, with crests rising 80 to 300m above the
surrounding landscape. We will climb up to sand dunes and ride a camel through the bottom of the
dunes. And evening Visit camel herder nomad family. Stay in camp.

Today we will drive to Bayanhongor province’s volcanic mountain range. It looks like black shiny,
huge dump of coal. Stacks of black rock walls of narrow Bichigt valley are literally covered in
amazingly well-preserved petroglyphs from the Bronze Age some 3000 years ago. Petroglyphs are
painted from 3000 B.C to 8th century A.C by talented primitive artists. This rock painting belongs to
the biggest ancient art gallery in Asia, second biggest in the world. Scratched into the rocks' oxidized
black surfaces are sun symbols, depictions of men and women, hunters, deer, wolves, gazelles,
ibexes, scorpions and even wheeled carts. Exploring them requires time and liquid intake. Stay over
in camp. (Bayanhongor province)
