About this tour

Day 1: Having picked you up from Ulaanbaatar at 08.30-09.00am from east side to west side one by one, Stop at a supermarket so people can buy water and snacks. Everywhere all shops accept card. Travel to Kharkhorin city. Kharkhorin is ancient capital of Great Mongolian Empire in thirteenth century. It is located on the right bank of Orkhon river, 80 km south-west of Semi-Gobi. Explore Erdene Zuu Monastery, a focal point in Mongolian history and culture, and visit Kharkhorin Museum and the city ruins. Total drive 370 km 6 hour. Sleep at Ger/Yurt guesthouse. Ger is traditional shared 4-5 beds place. Men and Women separate. The ger guesthouse has a modern shower, modern toilet room place, electric and wifi. Toilet not inside ger. Your own towel is better. You can have an interesting conversation with tourists from many countries there.

Day 2: Semi Gobi Desert. This area of the Mongolian countryside is exactly as it sounds: partially arid desert but surrounded by a green mountainous backdrop. Driving through the Mongolian steppe, we'll reach the desert. We'll then meet a local family who will tell us all about their traditional nomadic lifestyle. Immerse yourself in desert life enjoying camel ride through the arid landscapes of the Semi Gobi, admiring the dunes and mountains of Mongolia in the most exciting way. There is no shower, no electric and outside traditional way toilet etc. It is full of experience nature and nomadic life style. Please note that: “If you’re not able to squat with your legs apart when using the toilet, this part can be quite difficult.” If you want to skip this you can pay extra and we can change accommodation with shower and toilet. Or please find from getyourguide title is: "central mongolia 3 day tour" this tour included second day more comfortable accomodation. Per luxury ger 120-150$ Ger inside 1-3 beds and toilet. But it is open between May-Sep. high season is July, August maybe fully booked.

Day 3: Visit Khugnu khan mountain. Ride a horse in the Khugnu Tarna mountains for around 45 minutes. If normal drive back to UB between 03.00-04.00pm. Please be calculate some risk /tyre broke, traffic jam etc/ Winter time tour: if weather condition not good more longer safety drive. The nomadic family has moved north from Elsen Tasarkhai into the mountainous area, so the camel riding takes place outside the family's ger, rather than on the sand dunes.
