Ulaanbataar - Bag Gazrib Chuluu - Tsagaan Suvarag - Dalanzadgad - Khongoriin - Bayanzag - Hoshuu - Khujirt - Orkhon - Kharkhorin - Ulaanbataar

Mongolia is a land of extremes; steppe grasslands, forested mountains, alpine lakes and the vast Gobi Desert. Buddhist traditions are reasserting themselves along with pride in the warrior heritage of Genghis Khan; Soviet politics and architecture give way to modern trends despite shortages and a shaky infrastructure.

Far from barren and empty the Gobi is a fascinating world supporting a rich and fragile ecosystem - Dinosaur fossils, ice-filled gorges, rock formations and amazing wildlife. Khongoriin Els are Mongolia’s largest and most impressive sand dunes – some up to 300m high and the views from the top are spectacular, well rewarding those with the energy to climb up. Spend a night in the desert and take a morning trip into the dunes by camel. ayanzag, also known as the “Flaming Cliffs” is renowned worldwide as the place where palaeontologist Roy Chapman Andrews discovered the first dinosaur bones and eggs in Central Asia.

Small monasteries, active and in ruins, nestle below granite cliffs and alongside desert rivers - the most famous is the vast complex of Erdene Zuu, constructed from the ruins of Genghis Khan's 13th century capital Karakorum - the most resplendent, Ulaanbataar's Gandantegchiliin with its towering gilt Chenresig statue and colorful morning ceremonies.

This trip is not without a glimpse of the traditional nomadic life of the steppe. The green pasturelands and numerous rivers of Khanghai Mountains support herds of horse, yak, shhep and cows. The Orkhon Valley, cradle of Mongolian civilization, offers the chance to relax by the waterfall or in the large open-air hot springs.
