Danista Nomads Tour

This itinerary provides an overview of the major attractions in Mongolia.



Description in Formal Style:

Upon departure, participants commence their journey towards Tsagaan Suvraga, a prominent landmark situated within the Ulziit Soum, Dundgobi Aimag. The site, locally referred to as "Tsagaan Suvarga" due to its distinctive appearance, has undergone significant geological transformations over the past ten million years, manifesting distinct colorations across its layered formations. Its eastern-facing cliff offers a mesmerizing view reminiscent of ancient urban structures, captivating visitors with its panoramic vistas.

Participants embark upon their first night's accommodation in a Ger Hostel, where meals are served alongside communal bathing facilities.

Day 2

Following the morning's activities, guests proceed to Yoliin Am, a notable geographical feature nestled amidst the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains. Here, the valley bears the name "Yolyn Am," derived from the Mongolian term "Lammergeier." This majestic bird species lends the region its unique moniker, evoking associations with both eagles and vultures. Participants explore a nearby museum to gain insights into the Gobi Gurvan Saikan National Park, while enjoying a leisurely hike to witness the valley’s stunning ice formations. A subsequent overnight stay ensues in another Ger Hostel.

Day 3

On the third day, travelers make their way to Khongoriin Els, renowned for its towering sand dunes, collectively known as "Khongoriin els." These massive formations, standing at approximately 200 meters tall, extend up to 12 kilometers in width and cover an expansive expanse of around 100 kilometers. Participants engage in a camel riding excursion lasting two hours, providing them with unparalleled experiences of the Gobi desert's serene beauty. Their final night concludes with yet another stay in a Ger Hostel.

Day 4

Embarking on Day 4, participants arrive at Flaming Cliffs, a testament to the region's rich geologic heritage. Local legends attribute these red sandstone cliffs to the presence of Saksaul trees, although scientific evidence suggests dinosaur fossils predominate within their layers. Visitors may opt for guided tours exploring various archaeological sites, including medicinal plants such as burnet and exotic wildlife species like marmots, ibexes, and mountain sheep.

Rising early on the fifth day, participants gather at a tourist campsite near Baga Gazriin chuluu, an elevated granite formation spanning approximately 15 kilometers in length and width, reaching heights of 10 kilometers above sea level. The campsite, characterized by diverse flora and fauna, includes numerous medicinal herbs, such as burnet, along with iconic landmarks like Bolort Cave, an eye-treatment spa, petroglyphs, burial mounds, and rock carvings. Guided excursions reveal additional scenic views and historical contexts.

Continuing their journey, participants reach the first Gobi area campsite of their expedition, situated within Delgertsogt Soum, Dundgovi Province. This picturesque location features several granite stones rising over 15 kilometers in elevation, offering a range of recreational opportunities, including medicinal plant exploration and animal sightings.

Day 6

Finalizing their journey, participants return to Ulaanbaatar via the scenic route. Alongside the return leg, they pay homage to a monumental Chinggis Khan statue, marking a fitting conclusion to their expedition through the Mongolian Gobi Desert.
