7-Day Gobi Desert Tour from Sergelen with Terelj and Local Flight

Wake up at 8:30 am, have breakfast, and start your day happily. Get ready to go out, put on comfortable clothes, get on the bus, travel through other parts of Ulaanbaatar, and then continue to Terelj.

On the way, we will visit the statue of Genghis Khan. This is the world's largest equestrian statue at 40 metres high. At the base, there are souvenir shops, a small museum, and other monuments. Visitors can walk upstairs or take an elevator to the deck on the horse's head for a panoramic view over the complex.

We will continue our trip to Terelj National Park, one of the most visited and attractive national parks, known for its natural beauty, forested alpine mountains, and famous rock formations. Lunch will be at 13:00.

On the way, we will stop at an Ovoo, a rock pile used for religious worship. Then we will check in and have lunch at the tourist camp in one of the most spectacular spots in the national park.

In the afternoon, we will explore the national park and visit Turtle Rock, a natural and exciting rock formation that looks like a turtle. We will then continue to the Buddhist meditation temple of Ariyabal, reached by 108 stairs and a wire bridge. The temple is surrounded by scenic mountains and massive rock formations, and you can enjoy the breathtaking view from the top over Terelj National Park.

At 18:00, have dinner on the way. Return to the hotel and rest. After this day, the local flights and long journeys on slightly rough desert roads begin, so it is important to be well rested.

On this day, we will say goodbye to the dunes and return to Gurvan Saikhan. I hope you have breakfast before leaving. On the way, we will visit White Supra and other beautiful places in the Gobi.

The highest mountain in the Gobi Gurvansaikhan Range is Dzungsaikhan Mountain, standing 2,846 metres above sea level. More than 350 vascular plants belonging to 164 species and 48 genera have been recorded in this natural complex, including 48 endemic plants and 11 relict species. Native plants of Central Asia found here include Potanin's pink flowers, desert sedum flowers, and black grass. There are also elms, poplars, sedge forests, cypress groves, and reed thickets. In addition, there are 35 species of rhododendrons, 25 species of composite flowers, 23 species of sorghum, 21 species of sedges, 20 species of legumes, 18 more species of sedges, 10 species of onion, and 8 further species of sedges.

The tradition of creation, a rare and unique form of national traditional dance passed down from generation to generation, has been preserved among the western Mongolians, or Oirad, and continues to the present day. This remarkable art was created only by nomads and has never been replicated by anyone else, which is why it has become a treasured form of folk art.

We will sleep in a house near Gurvan Saikhan, where we will also have lunch and dinner. As this is the last evening, we will say goodbye, exchange Mongolian souvenirs and small gifts brought from our country, enjoy Mongolian traditional dairy products, dance, and sing. This will bring the day to an end.
