On the Trails of dinosaur

Early in the morning, we begin our adventure towards the Gobi Desert. We drive to the south through vast steppes and discover our first images of Mongolia: vast open space and there will be livestock graze freely.
On the way, we will stop at an “Ovoo-cairn” to ask for protection from the spirits of nature. Lunch in a local restaurant in Mandal Gobi city. Then we drive to Ulaan Tsav cliff, the garden of the world palaeontologist site.
Vehicle trip: 450 km 5-6 h

After breakfast, we explore the cliff, which will make us full of surprises. Because, we might discover fossils, fossilized footprints, and even dinosaur eggs from the site, preserved intact until today. After this adventure at Jurassic Park, we start our driving to the next important palaeontologist site. This is the famous Bayanzag/ Flaming Cliffs. In 1922, there was an expedition led by American explorer and paleontologist Roy Andrews Chapman. During his expedition in Mongolian Gobi Desert, his team discovered fossilized dinosaur eggs for the first time in world history which attributes a great leap forward to paleontologist science. Plus, you can admire the beautiful cliffs and saxual forest.

We are in the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park — Gobi and Three Beauties" referring to the 3 mountain ranges which cross the national park. It’s the biggest park in the country, which has a remarkable fauna and flora: the saxaul bushes, the wild goats, the wild ass and even the wild camels.
Today we will discover the Khongor sand dune which is one of the largest and most spectacular sand dunes in Mongolia standing as high as 200 meters above the ground, 7-8 km wide and 180 km long. The dunes rise up between Sevrei mountain to the south, stream and oasis on the north side with lush green. Climbing to the sand dunes is exhausting but it has a breathtaking view at the top. It surprises climbers that the sand dunes make a singing sound while you climb. Plus, camel riding awaits us.

With a height of 30 m and a length of 400 m, this amazing limestone rock reveals many treasures such as ammonites or fossilized wood. The valley that constitutes the bottom of the cliff reminds us the Death Valley in the United States, with its red soil and its different coloured layers.
