Day 1:
Having picked you up from your hotel in Ulaanbaatar at 8 am, we'll set off by minibus to the Semi Gobi Desert. This area of the Mongolian countryside is exactly as it sounds: partially arid desert but surrounded by a green mountainous backdrop.
Driving through the Mongolian steppe, we'll reach the desert, where we'll be welcomed with a coffee or tea accompanied by a snack. We'll then meet a local family who will tell us all about their traditional nomadic lifestyle.
Immerse yourself in desert life enjoying camel ride through the arid landscapes of the Semi Gobi, admiring the dunes and mountains of Mongolia in the most exciting way.
In the evening, we will play traditional folk games.
At night, you can stargaze whenever you want with an astronomical telescope.

Day 2:
Travel to Kustai national park.
The park was created as a place for the Takhi (Przewalski Horse) to be re-introduced back into Mongolia, where it had became extinct in the wild. One has the chance to see the Takhi, Red Deer (elk), marmot (in summer), gazelle, birds of prey and other wildlife throughout the seasons. This is the best place in Mongolia to view Takhi as well as large herds of elk.
You'll be dropped back off at your hotel for around 7-8 pm.
