This
exciting 11-day tour is a overland
adventure, starting from Ulaanbaatar and
travelling down through the Middle Gobi steppe to the real desert of South Gobi province. There are many amazing sights
along the way, including fantastic granite mountains, strange rock formations, massive sand dunes and hot springs. On the return
we spend time at Erdene Zuu Buddhist monastery
in the valley of Kharkhorin where Chinggis
Khaan established the capital of the Mongol
Empire.
We travel by jeep on rough tracks, rarely
on good paved roads. In the countryside nomadic people live in gers, following a
way of life which has changed little in
centuries.
