Riding mainly on rough jeep tracks, we travel across the fertile rolling hills of Arkhangi province, passing through the village of   'Chuluut'. Ride on to "Tariat" village and stay at a ger camp beside the river at the base of "Chuluut" gorge. Overnight ger camp.

Ride clockwise round the lake to reach the salt water  'Country Lake' nearby which are several ancient   'Stone Sculptures'. There are usually a number of nomadic families here and you will see how they live in this harsh environment. Arrive at the   'Ger Camp' in the afternoon and relax by the lake. Overnight ger camp.

Depart from the ger camp on the shores of the   'White Lake'  and visit the Cave of the "Yellow Dog", then climb to the top of the   'Khorgo Volcano'. Walk around the rim of the crater for fantastic views of the whole area including the lake and surrounding black lava field. Then ride back to "Ikh Tamir" on tarmac road, stopping on the way at "Chuluut" River Gorge. Overnight Ikh Tamir ger camp.

From "Ikh Tamir" ride along the valley following the "Tamir" river eastwards to "Ogii Nuur" lake. This is an area of some historical significance since the princes of Mongolia’s Turkic era (7th century) were based here and even now there are a number of ancient monuments including   'Deer Stones' to be seen. Cross the "Tamir" river on a   'Raft' and arrive early afternoon for lunch. Overnight ger camp near the lake.

Return to Ulaanbaatar, stopping for a picnic lunch along the way. The first 20 km are across open steppe on the rough tracks we have become used to. After "Dashinchilen" the road has been   'surfaced', so the final stretch to the city should be a bit quicker.   'Overnight hotel'

Departure.
