The Ice Canyon, Flaming Cliffs and Sand

3 days/2 nights from 540 US $; 4 days/3 nights from 720 US $; + flights

Full description & Itinerary
Experience the charm of the different Mongolia:
The bone dry, vast Gobi Desert. Yolin Am (the ice canyon), The Flaming
Cliffs (Bayan Zag) and endless sand dunes are all part of this
itinerary. Your own individual trip. Overnight in comfortable ger camps
close to the attractions.

Day 1:
You will be picked up at your accommodation in UB and transferred to
the airport for a morning flight to the Gobi desert. From the Gobi
airport, drive into “Goviin Gurvan Saihan” (The three beauties of the
Gobi) National Park and check into your ger camp. After lunch, visit
“Yolin Am” (the Vulture’s Mouth) ice canyon which is a short drive away
from your camp. The area consists of an oasis, attracting wildlife from
all around the area for grazing and drinking. The highlight of this
valley is the ice remaining inside the canyon until August every year,
surviving the desert heat to form what is better known as the “Gobi
Glacier”. Overnight in a ger camp close to Yolin Am.
Day 2: Drive
to “The Flaming Cliffs”, (“Bayan Zag”) made of red sand stone, which
during sunset seem to be on fire. The name of the area actually refers
to its richness of saxaul forest but is more commonly known for its
cliffs of red sand stone. The cliffs are known as one of the world’s
biggest Dinosaur’s graveyards and until today, fossils of dinosaur’s
bones can be found in the area. From Bayan Zag you will keep on driving
to the Moltsog Els, an large area of sand dunes. Depending on travel
dates, there might be the chance to take a short ride on a camel
through the dunes. In the afternoon, return to your ger camp for the
night.

Day 3: Flights
usually leave the Gobi mid morning, leaving you enough time for
breakfast and your d
rive to the local airport. Your flight returns to
UB around noon. You will be picked up from the airport and transferred
to your accommodation in UB.
