Detailed Itinerary of 2 Days Gobi Desert Quick Tour
Day1. Fly to Gobi. Bayanzag & Yol Valley
Day2. Fly back to UB
Day1. Fly to Gobi Desert, Moltsog Els Dune, Bayanzag – famous dinosaur site & Yol Gorge
We will pick you up from your accommodation (pick up time will be confirmed) and transfer to the airport. Then fly to Dalanzadgad town (1 hour flight). After you arrived Dalanzadgad, our local guide and driver will pick you up and drive to Moltsog Els Dune (80 km – 2 hours on the dirt road). The dunes are relatively small compared to the far Khongor Sand Dune, but are still fun! Admire the majestic appearance of the dunes and the wonderful colors that change throughout the day and get involved in some serious camel riding (1 hour). The two-humped camels are very comfortable to ride, as they walk slowly and gently and we will be well supported by the humps, sitting comfortably between them. Then we will drive to Bayanzag (30 km on the dirt road). American zoologist Roy Chapman Andrews discovered this place and named as Flaming Cliffs. A lot of dinosaurs’ findings such as Protoceratops & dinosaur’ eggs have been found there in first time. The red colored cliffs themselves are very imposing from a distance, and are particularly fiery in the light of the setting sun. We will walk around the site. After lunch time, we will drive to Yol Gorge (95 km – 2 hours on the dirt road). Yol means vulture in Mongolian and the gorge is located in Gurvan Saikhan Mountain range & stretches over 10 km. The narrowest part, only 3 or 4 person can pass in same time, of the valley is completely shaded from the direct sun shine by high cliff walls. Also, the valley is famous for the fact that there is ice created in winter by small stream of the valley present there even during the hot summer months until mid of Jul. We will do an hour hiking there & then also visit to the small natural museum. Then we will drive to local tourist ger camp (20 km on the dirt road) & will have dinner. Overnight in the tourist ger camp.
