DAY 4 | Khongoryn Els
Set out by jeep with your driver and guide
along the flanks of the Altai Mountains into Khongoryn Els, also known as the Singing Sand Dunes. Soaring up to 1,000 feet, they’re known for the unusual sound they make as the sands shift in the wind. Spend time with a camel breeder for a genuine experience of life in the Gobi. Exploring the area from atop a 2-humped Bactrian camel puts you at one with the timeless vistas. meals b+l+d
DAY 5 | Bayanzag – The Flaming Cliffs This morning is yours to enjoy the singular setting of our Lodge, surrounded by the vast sweep of the Gobi. After lunch, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Roy Chapman Andrews. It was here in 1922, amidst the desert sands and towering red sandstone cliffs that this noted adventurer and naturalist discovered the first-known nest of fossilized dinosaur eggs. Enjoy a freshly prepared dinner atop the Flaming Cliffs as the sun sets over these desert landscapes. meals b+l+d
DAY 6 | Ulaanbaatar + Tuul River
Travel back to Dalanzadgad and bid farewell to your Gobi guide and driver as you board the flight back to the capital. On arrival, visit 976, the most important contemporary art gallery in Mongolia. The exhibits change, but 976 is known for finding talented artists who use traditional techniques to create new
and vibrant works. Then travel overland to the Tuul Riverside Lodge and settle in to your private Ger. An afternoon archery lesson is
a fun way to learn about this revered sport where bows are still crafted from wood, sinew, horn and tendon. meals b+l+d

DAY 7 | Traditions + culture
The Mongolian Ger is constructed with a
wooden lattice frame and sturdy roof poles that are all covered with multiple layers of felt. Here amidst these scenic rolling hills on the gentle Tuul River, you’ll spend some time this morning learning to construct a real Ger - like the one you slept in last night. After lunch, our private concert showcases a variety of Mongolian art forms including Tsam dancing, throat singing, and Uran Nugaralt - an acrobatic form that stresses balance and flexibility. Tonight, gather with your fellow travelers around the campfire for a traditional Mongolian barbecue prepared by the Lodge’s chefs. meals b+l+d
