DAY 1 - WHITE STUPA

We would pick up you from your accommodation at 8:00am and will drive heading to South Gobi. However it is a long drive, you will not get bored, mountains, hills and vast land of Gobi makes you excited! By afternoon we would get to Tsagaan suvarga /  White stupa   

The scarp of Tsagaan Suvarga is located in the southwest of the Dundgobi province. It is a sheer slope that was an ancient seabed that featured a sedimentary structure that was created over millions of years. It is interesting to see this slope because it faces eastward of the sun. It also appears to be the ruins of an ancient city from a far distance. That is why it was called the “White stupa”.  This formation is over 60m tall at its highest point and continues for an impressive length of 400m. The stupa rises to the sky at an angle of 90 degrees. After pouring rain, the torrent of water that flows down the stupa looks like a massive waterfall. 

After refilling our gas tanks in Dalanzadgad city we would drive further to our lodge which is located in steppe of Gobi desert.  We would stay in luxury Mongolian ger.   (Lunch, Dinner ) *GER - MONGOLIAN traditional dwelling.

The place is also called as  "Cradle of Dinosaurs," The first nest of dinosaur eggs ever discovered was found in 1922.  The site was famous for the remains of a dinosaur that lived here 60 million years ago.

DAY 3 - KHONGORIIN ELS - SINGING DUNES

Khongor sand dune is one of Mongolia's largest and most spectacular dunes, standing as high as 200 meters above the ground, 7-8 km wide, and 180 km long. Climbing the dunes is breathtaking, not only for the view at the top. It surprises climbers that the dunes make a singing sound while you climb; that is why it is nicknamed the singing dunes. ​ The sand dunes make you feel extraordinary comfort and infinite peace. Once we get there, we will ride a camel along the Khongor sand dunes. The two-humped Bactrian camels are very comfortable to ride as they walk slowly and gently. You will be well supported by the humps, sitting comfortably between them.  We would stay at touristic lodge.  (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
