Nomad Tour – Gobi
Welcome home! Enjoy the great hospitality of a nomad family on our nomad tour, and as a member of the family, immerse yourself in the everyday life of these special people: look after yaks, milk them, prepare traditional milk tea, ride and at the end of the day, go to sleep tired and satisfied in your own yurt.
These special experiences and impressions are rounded off by a Gobi tour where the route leads from the famous "singing dunes" to the impressive Lammergeier Valley (valley of the bearded vulture), Yolyn Am.
Overnight in yurts during the tour, and in a hotel in Ulaanbaatar before departure.
Well suited for

Itinerary
Continue on to the nomads at Shargaljuut sum (district) who will be your hosts for the next few days. After a relaxed arrival, get to know the family, lunch together and unwind. Overnight in your own yurt with the nomad family.
Over the next two days, you can trek with yaks to a gorge with a lake, grill your own fish, hike, ride, watch animals and take part in family life. Overnight in your own yurt with the nomad family.
We then spend two days stay at the impressive Khongoryn Els sand dunes in the Gobi Desert where we ascend the up to 300 m high dunes and experience their singing while sliding down. Afterwards, we visit camel herders where there is an opportunity to ride. Two nights in a yurt camp.
Weiter geht’s Richtung Norden zu einem weiteren außergewöhnlichen Naturspektakel: Tsagaan Suvarga, einer bizarren Felsformation aus Kalkstein. Um dieses Kunstwerk der Natur herum gibt es tolle Wandermöglichkeiten. Übernachtung im Jurtencamp.
Am Tag 11 ist das Ziel der Nationalpark Baga Gazriin Chuluu (kleiner Erdstein). Die Felsen hier sind für die einheimische Bevölkerung heilig und ist immer wieder das Ziel von Pilgerreisen. Nahe einer Klosterruine aus dem 17. Jahrhundert werden hier noch heute Messen abgehalten. Dieser idyllische Ort lädt zu ausgedehnten Erkundungen ein. Übernachtet wird es ein letztes Mal noch in der Jurte.
Am nächsten Tag Stadtbesichtigung und je nach Wunsch Einkaufen, Museum oder Besichtigung einer Kaschmirfabrik. Abends großes Abschiedsessen. Übernachtung im Hotel.
