Day 1

Depart KL

Check-in at KLIA and board the flight to Ulaanbaatar.

Day2

Ulaanbaatar

Arrive at any time. Arrival transfer is included.

Day 3

Ulaanbaatar

Enjoy a morning tour of Mongolia’s bustling capital. Visit Gandan Monastery, one of the country’s most important Buddhist sanctuaries, and wander the rooms and temples of Bogd Khan’s Winter Palace, the former home of Mongolia’s last king. Climb up to the Zaisan Memorial, a Soviet Era monument which commemorates Russian soldiers killed in World War II, and take in sweeping views of the city from the hilltop. Later, admire the world-class collection of fossils at the Central Museum of Mongolian Dinosaurs, dedicated to preserving Mongolia’s paleontological heritage.

Breakfast
Day 4

Ulaanbaatar - Hustai National Park

Travel by 4x4 to Hustai National Park, where some of the Earth’s last wild horses roam. The takhi or Przewalski’s horse native to these grasslands had nearly vanished from the wild, until the species was reintroduced here as a result of a successful captive breeding program. Meet with park staff to learn about the takhi reintroduction project, and keep an eye out for these stocky, coffee-coloured horses that have never been domesticated. Settle into a ger tonight, a round, felt-covered tent with basic furniture. We will stay in traditional Mongolian lodgings like gers through day 12 of the trip.

This trip covers a lot of ground and we will do so in 4x4 vehicles but there is a lot of driving on some very rough and unmaintained roads. A large part of Mongolia's appeal is its wild, untouched nature and, as such, accommodation and infrastructure can be very basic in nature. As such, hot water and electricity can be uncertain. Mongolia is a country which is very different to anything you will have experienced before and while this means it is not the easiest place to travel, this is also what makes it so special.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Da y5

Hustai National Park - Kharkhorin

Drive to the city of Kharkhorin and onward to nearby Karakorum, Mongolia’s ancient capital. Here, Genghis Khan established his headquarters in the early 13th century. Explore the remains of the Erdeni Dzu Monastery, considered Mongolia’s earliest centre of Buddhism, and meet with the head monk to learn about the communist purges that decimated much of the country’s Buddhist heritage. Later, visit the Karakorum Museum, which houses an impressive collection of artifacts from the 13th and 14th centuries as well as a scale model of the ancient capital.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 6

Kharkhorin - Tsenkher

Arrive at Tsenkher in the afternoon, the site of natural hot springs surrounded by serene, forest-covered hills. Popular with tourists and locals alike, these springs have long been known for their therapeutic benefits. Take a soak in one of the outdoor pools, or choose the privacy of an indoor bath.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 7

Tsenkher - Orkhon Valley

Drive to the breathtaking Orkhon Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site that encompasses rolling hills and pastureland, traditional pastoral societies, and archaeological remains. Set out on a hike to the lofty Tuvkhun Monastery, founded by the Mongol Buddhist leader Zanabzar in the mid-17th century. Explore the monastery’s wooden temples, integrated with a natural system of caves, and enjoy beautiful views of the Orkhon Valley and surrounding pine forests.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 8

Orkhon Valley

Immerse yourself in traditional Mongolian culture on a visit to a family-run horse and yak farm. Observe daily life on the farm; sample some of their staple products, such as yak cream and yogurt and fermented mare’s milk; and witness Mongolian horseback riding and herding techniques, famed throughout the world. Later, enjoy a hike to a picturesque waterfall before returning to your ger camp for a traditional Mongolian barbecue, prepared over hot stones.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 9

Orkhon Valley - Ongiin Khiid

Today, we make our way to the Gobi, one of the world's largest deserts, which covers much of the southern part of Mongolia. Visit the ruins of Ongiin Khiid, a complex of Buddhist monasteries and universities which were tragically destroyed during the communist purges. Tour the site and learn about the monks who have returned here in recent years, bringing new life to the complex.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner

Ongiin Khiid - Bayanzag

Venture to the Flaming Cliffs or Bayanzag, a rust-coloured sandstone landscape where a vast amount of dinosaur fossils have been found. Spend time exploring the dramatic crags and canyons.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 11

Bayanzag - Khongoryn Els

Drive to the spectacular sand dunes of Khongoryn Els in the western Gobi, popularly known as the “singing sands.” Clamber up the wave-like peaks for stunning views of the golden landscape, and listen for the musical sound the dunes produce when the wind blows over them.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 12

Khongoryn Els

Spend time with a nomadic camel-herding family today, gaining insight into how they survive in the harsh environment of the Gobi. Lend a hand with some of the daily chores, such as milking camels or churning cheese and butter, and opt for a camel ride. Later, witness a demonstration of archery, one of Mongolia’s national sports; then learn the basics of this time-honoured tradition during a hands-on lesson.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner

Khongoryn Els - Yolyn Am

Drive through the magnificent gorges of the Altay Mountains to the Gurvan Saikhan National Park, a vast protected area that comprises canyons, sand dunes, and steppe.

Later, pay a visit to the Yolyn Am museum, where you can admire a collection of dinosaur bones and eggs.
