Day 1 - Ulaanbaatar city capital of Mongolia

<figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/kerege-travel.appspot.com/o/ckeditor%2Ftsagaan_suvarga_agt.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=f66fa0cc-1a4c-4cf6-9ac2-0bdec0c57f01"></figure><p style="text-align:justify;">Early in the morning, we will pick you up from your accommodation and commence our journey to Tsagaan Suvarga Cliff. This remarkable geological formation boasts a sheer slope, revealing an ancient seabed with sedimentary layers shaped over millions of years. The varied colors of the terrain signify different historical periods. The cliff reaches a height of over 50 meters at its highest point, stretching for 400 meters, resembling a mystical ancient city when viewed from a distance. While at the site, we will engage in some hiking to explore its unique features. Tsagaan Suvarga serves as a restful overnight stop as we make our way from the Middle Gobi desert to the South Gobi desert.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:17.25%;"><col style="width:17.8%;"><col style="width:16.97%;"><col style="width:28.96%;"><col style="width:19.02%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>430km</td><td>Asphalt</td><td>5 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

The term 'Yol' translates to vulture in Mongolian, and this valley originates from Zuun Saikhan Mountain, a prominent segment of the Gurvan Saikhan Mountain range, extending for over 10 kilometers. The narrowest section of the valley, accommodating only 3 or 4 individuals at a time, is entirely shaded by high cliff walls. Yol Valley is renowned for maintaining ice formations, created during winter by a small stream that persists even through the hot summer months until the end of July. The valley's beauty, coupled with the scent of juniper, creates an atmosphere of awe and wonder that is not to be missed. During our time there, we will explore the valley on horseback. If you prefer not to ride horses, a one-hour hike is also a delightful activity. Additionally, we will visit the local natural museum of Gurvan Saikhan National Park. We will spend the night in this captivating location.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:17.25%;"><col style="width:17.8%;"><col style="width:16.97%;"><col style="width:28.96%;"><col style="width:19.02%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>200km</td><td>Asphalt</td><td>3 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

This remarkable formation spans from 5 to 10 km in width and nearly 100 km in length, with crests reaching heights of 80 to 300m above the surrounding landscape. The booming sound generated by the shifting sands can be heard from a distance on windy days, earning the local moniker 'Singing Sands.' Adjacent to Khongor River at the dunes' northern edge lies an oasis. Today, we will embark on camel rides to explore these colossal sand dunes, venturing into an area where climbing one of the dunes offers energetic travelers an unforgettable experience of boundless vistas across a sea of daffodil-colored sand. We will spend the night in this enchanting desert oasis.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:17.25%;"><col style="width:17.8%;"><col style="width:16.97%;"><col style="width:28.96%;"><col style="width:19.02%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>180km</td><td>Off-road</td><td>5 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

This is the site where American explorer Roy Chapman Andrews made a groundbreaking discovery, unearthing the cemetery of dinosaurs and the world's first dinosaur eggs. We'll engage in a hike through the cliffs, exploring the remarkable Gobi tree grove named 'Bayanzag,' with the tree species Saxaul flourishing in this central Asian Gobi region. You'll have the opportunity to witness the legacy of the 1920s American excavation through a short documentary. Following lunch, our expedition continues to Ongi Monastery ruins, traversing the expansive Ongi Steppe, a vast landscape that spans an extraordinary 100 km. Ongi Monastery, once among the largest seven monasteries in Mongolia, housed two temples constructed in the 1780s. However, during the 1930s repression, these temples were destroyed, and many monks faced execution or imprisonment. We'll arrive at the camp in the late afternoon, and after dinner, explore the Ongi temple ruins, soaking in the beauty of the surrounding area. Overnight stay in the Ger camp.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:17.25%;"><col style="width:17.8%;"><col style="width:16.97%;"><col style="width:28.96%;"><col style="width:19.02%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>270km</td><td>Off-road</td><td>5 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Today, Karakorum is a small local township, but in its historical heyday, the city was founded in 1220 in the Orkhon River Valley by order of Genghis Khan. Unfortunately, the city faced destruction when, after the collapse of the Yuan dynasty, Khuvilai Khan Min's state invaders sacked Karakorum in 1388, massacring its inhabitants and leaving it in ruins. Two centuries later, Erdene Zuu Monastery, built in 1586, became the first Buddhist monastery in Mongolia. The materials for its construction were sourced from the remnants of Karakorum. During its zenith in the late 18th century, Erdene Zuu was a complex featuring ornate gardens and 62 temples, accommodating over 1000 lamas. Tragically, in 1937, during the communist purges, the entire monastery was systematically destroyed. Our visit to Karakorum includes stops at the Karakorum Museum, Karakorum Ruin Open Museum, and the Erdene Zuu Monastery Complex. Overnight stay in the area.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:17.25%;"><col style="width:17.8%;"><col style="width:16.97%;"><col style="width:28.96%;"><col style="width:19.02%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>280km</td><td>Off-road</td><td>6 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Our journey continues with a scenic drive of approximately 260 kilometers, leading us to the Senguur Gorkhi valley and Khukh Nuur.

This remarkable geological formation boasts a sheer slope, revealing an ancient seabed with sedimentary layers shaped over millions of years. The varied colors of the terrain signify different historical periods. The cliff reaches a height of over 50 meters at its highest point, stretching for 400 meters, resembling a mystical ancient city when viewed from a distance.

The term 'Yol' translates to vulture in Mongolian, and this valley originates from Zuun Saikhan Mountain, a prominent segment of the Gurvan Saikhan Mountain range, extending for over 10 kilometers. The narrowest section of the valley, accommodating only 3 or 4 individuals at a time, is entirely shaded by high cliff walls. Yol Valley is renowned for maintaining ice formations, created during winter by a small stream that persists even through the hot summer months until the end of July. The valley's beauty, coupled with the scent of juniper, creates an atmosphere of awe and wonder that is not to be missed. During our time there, we will explore the valley on horseback. If you prefer not to ride horses, a one-hour hike is also a delightful activity. Additionally, we will visit the local natural museum of Gurvan Saikhan National Park. We will spend the night in this captivating location.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>210km</td><td>Asphalt</td><td>3 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

This remarkable formation spans from 5 to 10 km in width and nearly 100 km in length, with crests reaching heights of 80 to 300m above the surrounding landscape. The booming sound generated by the shifting sands can be heard from a distance on windy days, earning the local moniker 'Singing Sands.' Adjacent to Khongor River at the dunes' northern edge lies an oasis. Today, we will embark on camel rides to explore these colossal sand dunes, venturing into an area where climbing one of the dunes offers energetic travelers an unforgettable experience of boundless vistas across a sea of daffodil-colored sand. We will spend the night in this enchanting desert oasis.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>180km</td><td>Off-Road</td><td>3 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

After a hearty breakfast, our path leads us to Bayanzag, which translates to 'saxaul forest' in English. The area is characterized by striking red cliffs, known as the Flaming Cliffs, formed over millions of years through the erosion by water and wind. This region holds significant paleontological importance, as it was here that numerous dinosaur fossils, including Protoceratops and dinosaur eggs, were first discovered. The site gained international recognition when American zoologist Roy Chapman Andrews conducted explorations, naming it the Flaming Cliffs. The red-hued cliffs, especially vibrant in the light of the setting sun, present a captivating spectacle from a distance. Take the opportunity to wander amidst one of the world's most famous paleontological landscapes. As the day draws to a close, enjoy an evening stroll around the site, soaking in the unique ambiance. Prepare for an overnight stay, surrounded by the ancient mysteries of Bayanzag.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>110km</td><td>Off-Road</td><td>3 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Following a delightful breakfast, our journey takes us to the Ongi Monastery Ruins, a poignant testament to the raw history of this sacred site. Established in 1760, the Buddhist monastery once stood as one of Mongolia's largest until its devastating destruction in 1937 during the communist era. Situated on the banks of the Ongi River, the ruins bear witness to the violence inflicted upon the monastery. Despite the passage of years, the remnants of this once-splendid institution echo the tales of its grandeur. A visit to the local ger museum offers a glimpse into the survived artifacts, preserving the memory of the monastery's rich heritage. A small, lively Buddhist temple adds a touch of spirituality to the site. Take a leisurely hike amidst the ruins, exploring the fascinating remnants and absorbing the historical ambiance. The evening unfolds with an overnight stay, providing a unique opportunity to reflect on the journey between Central Mongolia and the Gobi, surrounded by the storied landscapes of Ongi Monastery Ruins.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>110km</td><td>Off-Road</td><td>3 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

The Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape beckons travelers with its allure, offering a profound exploration of the Mongol Empire's historical path. As we drive to Orkhon Valley, the landscape unfolds, revealing the unique lifestyle, rich culture, and rare historical memorials that characterize this remarkable region. The Orkhon Valley stands as a testament to the forces of nature, boasting the Orkhon Waterfall, a spectacular cascade formed through a harmonious interplay of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes approximately 20,000 years ago. Plummeting from a height of 27 meters, the waterfall adds a touch of grandeur to the valley's scenic tapestry. The Orkhon River, Mongolia's longest, originates from the revered Suvraga Khairkhan mountain in the Khangai mountain range, tracing a majestic path through the valley. As the day unfolds, immerse yourself in the tranquility of the Orkhon Valley, where nature and history converge seamlessly. The night brings with it a serene stay, allowing you to absorb the essence of this cultural and natural marvel.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>270km</td><td>Off-Road</td><td>4 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Following breakfast, our expedition takes us to this iconic city, founded in 1220 in the Orkhon River Valley under the auspices of Genghis Khan himself. The annals of history recount the city's rise and fall, from its zenith to its tragic demise in 1388 when it fell prey to invaders after the collapse of the Yuan dynasty of Khuvilai Khan Min. The invaders sacked Karakorum, leaving devastation in their wake, massacring its inhabitants and reducing the once-thriving city to ruins. Two centuries later, the legacy of Karakorum finds a resurgence in Erdene Zuu, a Buddhist monastery built in 1586. This monastery holds the distinction of being the first of its kind in Mongolia, crafted using construction materials sourced from the remnants of Karakorum's glory days. The late 18th century witnessed Erdene Zuu's zenith, with a complex featuring ornate gardens and a staggering 62 temples. Housing over 1000 lamas, the monastery stood as a testament to Mongolia's rich religious and cultural heritage. However, the shadows of history cast a somber hue, and in 1937, communist purges wrought destruction upon Erdene Zuu, leaving the monastery in ruins. Today, our visit to Karakorum unfolds as a journey through time, exploring the remnants of this once-mighty city. The Karakorum Museum, Karakorum Ruin Open Museum, and the Erdene Zuu Monastery Complex open their gates to our exploration, providing insights into the grandeur and tribulations that define this historical enclave. As the day transitions into night, we find repose in the embrace of Karakorum, where echoes of the past linger in the whispers of the wind.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>110km</td><td>Off-Road</td><td>2 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

The term 'Yol' translates to vulture in Mongolian, and this valley originates from Zuun Saikhan Mountain, a prominent segment of the Gurvan Saikhan Mountain range, extending for over 10 kilometers. The narrowest section of the valley, accommodating only 3 or 4 individuals at a time, is entirely shaded by high cliff walls. Yol Valley is renowned for maintaining ice formations, created during winter by a small stream that persists even through the hot summer months until the end of July. The valley's beauty, coupled with the scent of juniper, creates an atmosphere of awe and wonder that is not to be missed. During our time there, we will explore the valley on horseback. If you prefer not to ride horses, a one-hour hike is also a delightful activity. Additionally, we will visit the local natural museum of Gurvan Saikhan National Park. We will spend the night in this captivating location.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>210km</td><td>Asphalt</td><td>3 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

This remarkable formation spans from 5 to 10 km in width and nearly 100 km in length, with crests reaching heights of 80 to 300m above the surrounding landscape. The booming sound generated by the shifting sands can be heard from a distance on windy days, earning the local moniker 'Singing Sands.' Adjacent to Khongor River at the dunes' northern edge lies an oasis. Today, we will embark on camel rides to explore these colossal sand dunes, venturing into an area where climbing one of the dunes offers energetic travelers an unforgettable experience of boundless vistas across a sea of daffodil-colored sand.

After a hearty breakfast, our path leads us to Bayanzag, which translates to 'saxaul forest' in English. The area is characterized by striking red cliffs, known as the Flaming Cliffs, formed over millions of years through the erosion by water and wind. This region holds significant paleontological importance, as it was here that numerous dinosaur fossils, including Protoceratops and dinosaur eggs, were first discovered. The site gained international recognition when American zoologist Roy Chapman Andrews conducted explorations, naming it the Flaming Cliffs. The red-hued cliffs, especially vibrant in the light of the setting sun, present a captivating spectacle from a distance. Take the opportunity to wander amidst one of the world's most famous paleontological landscapes. As the day draws to a close, enjoy an evening stroll around the site, soaking in the unique ambiance. Prepare for an overnight stay, surrounded by the ancient mysteries of Bayanzag.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>110km</td><td>Off-Road</td><td>3 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Following a delightful breakfast, our journey takes us to the Ongi Monastery Ruins, a poignant testament to the raw history of this sacred site. Established in 1760, the Buddhist monastery once stood as one of Mongolia's largest until its devastating destruction in 1937 during the communist era. Situated on the banks of the Ongi River, the ruins bear witness to the violence inflicted upon the monastery. Despite the passage of years, the remnants of this once-splendid institution echo the tales of its grandeur. A visit to the local ger museum offers a glimpse into the survived artifacts, preserving the memory of the monastery's rich heritage. A small, lively Buddhist temple adds a touch of spirituality to the site. Take a leisurely hike amidst the ruins, exploring the fascinating remnants and absorbing the historical ambiance.

The Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape beckons travelers with its allure, offering a profound exploration of the Mongol Empire's historical path. As we drive to Orkhon Valley, the landscape unfolds, revealing the unique lifestyle, rich culture, and rare historical memorials that characterize this remarkable region. The Orkhon Valley stands as a testament to the forces of nature, boasting the Orkhon Waterfall, a spectacular cascade formed through a harmonious interplay of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes approximately 20,000 years ago. Plummeting from a height of 27 meters, the waterfall adds a touch of grandeur to the valley's scenic tapestry. The Orkhon River, Mongolia's longest, originates from the revered Suvraga Khairkhan mountain in the Khangai mountain range, tracing a majestic path through the valley. As the day unfolds, immerse yourself in the tranquility of the Orkhon Valley, where nature and history converge seamlessly. The night brings with it a serene stay, allowing you to absorb the essence of this cultural and natural marvel.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>270km</td><td>Off-Road</td><td>4 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Following breakfast, our expedition takes us to this iconic city, founded in 1220 in the Orkhon River Valley under the auspices of Genghis Khan himself. The annals of history recount the city's rise and fall, from its zenith to its tragic demise in 1388 when it fell prey to invaders after the collapse of the Yuan dynasty of Khuvilai Khan Min. The invaders sacked Karakorum, leaving devastation in their wake, massacring its inhabitants and reducing the once-thriving city to ruins. Two centuries later, the legacy of Karakorum finds a resurgence in Erdene Zuu, a Buddhist monastery built in 1586. This monastery holds the distinction of being the first of its kind in Mongolia, crafted using construction materials sourced from the remnants of Karakorum's glory days. The late 18th century witnessed Erdene Zuu's zenith, with a complex featuring ornate gardens and a staggering 62 temples. Housing over 1000 lamas, the monastery stood as a testament to Mongolia's rich religious and cultural heritage. However, the shadows of history cast a somber hue, and in 1937, communist purges wrought destruction upon Erdene Zuu, leaving the monastery in ruins. Today, our visit to Karakorum unfolds as a journey through time, exploring the remnants of this once-mighty city. The Karakorum Museum, Karakorum Ruin Open Museum, and the Erdene Zuu Monastery Complex open their gates to our exploration, providing insights into the grandeur and tribulations that define this historical enclave. As the day transitions into night, we find repose in the embrace of Karakorum, where echoes of the past linger in the whispers of the wind.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:20.52%;"><col style="width:20.82%;"><col style="width:19.49%;"><col style="width:19.69%;"><col style="width:19.48%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Distance</td><td>Route</td><td>Drive time</td><td>Accommodation</td><td>Food</td></tr><tr><td>110km</td><td>Off-Road</td><td>2 hours</td><td>Ger camp</td><td>Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

With anticipation in the air, your guide and driver collect you from your hotel for an exploration into the heart of Mongolia's natural wonders. The destination is Khustai Nuruu National Park, a sanctuary where the legendary Przewalski's horse, locally known as Tahki, has been successfully reintroduced since the 1990s. The park not only boasts the presence of these once-extinct horses but also serves as a haven for diverse wildlife. Upon arrival, you delve into the history and conservation efforts at Takhi's small museum, gaining insights into the fascinating tale of the Tahki's return to the Mongolian steppe. Your journey continues to unfold as you drive towards Elsen Tasarkhai sand dunes, an enchanting landscape nestled within the Khogno Khan Nature Reserve. Here, the vast expanse of golden sand dunes evokes the spirit of the Gobi Desert, creating a miniature oasis against the backdrop of the Khangai mountain range. The evening promises a unique adventure—camel riding through the undulating dunes. Accompanied by a skilled camel man, you embark on a journey across the shifting sands, embracing the tranquility of the desert. As the day gives way to night, you find comfort and repose in a traditional Ger camp, where the whispers of the wind carry the essence of the Mongolian wilderness.

In 1388, after the collapse of the Yuan dynasty, invaders sacked the city, leaving ruins and a tragic history. Two centuries later, Erdene Zuu, the first Mongolian Buddhist monastery, was built in 1586 using materials from the Karakorum ruins. At its peak, the complex housed over 1000 lamas and boasted ornate gardens and 62 temples. However, the communist purges of 1937 led to the complete destruction of the monastery. Our visit includes the Karakorum Museum, Karakorum Ruin Open Museum, and Erdene Zuu Monastery Complex.

Constructed in 1654 by the esteemed High Saint Zanabazar, a renowned sculptor and key figure in Mongolian Buddhism, the monastery holds historical and spiritual significance. Originally known as Bayasgalant Aglag Oron (Happy Secluded Place) during Zanabazar's lifetime, it later became Tuvkhun Monastery. Explore the monastery set amidst enchanting black forests, and after a picnic lunch, our adventure continues to the awe-inspiring Orkhon Waterfall. Soaring over 25 meters in height, Orkhon Waterfall stands as the tallest waterfall in Mongolia and a captivating highlight of the Orkhon River valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The surrounding landscape, shaped by volcanic activities around 20,000 years ago, showcases the natural beauty of the region. The Orkhon River has carved a remarkable 130 km long canyon through the ancient lava plateau.
