Your exploration begins in Ulaanbaatar, where you will discover the city’s treasures, including the Mongolia Museum of Natural History, the Gandan Buddhist Monastery, and local markets.
Venture to the heart of the mighty Gobi, one of the world's most magnificent deserts!

As the days draw to a close, prepare to be enchanted by a desert sunset, a kaleidoscope of colors painting the sky, creating a moment of breathtaking beauty in the heart of the Gobi.
