Day 1: Located in Ulan Bator

Steps: Oulan-Bator

Take this first day for a full tour of the Mongolian capital. National Museum and Museum of Fine Arts, then Bogdo Khan Palace and finally Zaisan Hill. In the evening, a stroll in Genghis Khan Square.

Day 2: Excursion to Gorky Terelj National Park

Steps: Parc National De Gorkhi Terelj

Located just 40 kilometres from the capital, this park will offer you an attractive first contact with Mongolian nature. Multiform rocks where locals believe they can distinguish silhouettes, infinite steppe, dense vegetation... The best solution is to discover it on horseback or on foot and bivouac there for a first night under the stars.

Day 3: Hiking in Gorky Terelj Park

A full day of hiking along the river and along the steppes of the reserve. On the program: contemplation, observation of birds and other animals, search for evocative shapes in the rocks, etc. A new night under the yurt and you will be totally immersed in the nomads' homes!

Day 4: Khustain Nuruu National Park

Steps: Oulan-Bator

The road turnswestward to cross the Khustain Nuruu reserve, about 100 km fromUlan Bator, where you can observe Prjzewalski's horses. These small horses that we are used to see drawn on the walls of prehistoric caves, not exceeding 1,20 m and with a coarse hair have been saved from extinction and reintroduced in their natural environment. New camp under the yurt.

Day 5: Lake Ogiy Nuur

A long day on the trail to reach this lake where, for a change, you will sleep under the yurt in an enchanting setting. Program according to your desires: boat trip if you feel like a freshwater sailor, or a stroll along the shores. With a little luck, you'll pass by when the pelicans migrate, which are very numerous every year on the banks

Day 6: Meeting the nomads

Another long day on the trail to the Orkhon Valley where you will meet the nomadic populations, especially in summer. The whole valley has been classified by UNESCO. Land at the end of the day to recover from the journey.

Day 7: The Orkhon Valley

Hiking day along the valley. No major difficulty in this trek mainly dedicated to meeting and observing the beautiful landscapes. The path leads to the Cascade waterfall and the water where you can try a little swim. New night in the valley under the yurt.

Day 8: To the Gobi Desert

The landscapes change as the circuit sinks southward, and you will soon make your first turns in the desert. Push up to the ochre-coloured cliffs of Bayanzag and follow the trail of dinosaurs, many of whose fossils have been discovered in this area.

Day 9: In the heart of Gobi

Steps: Khongoryn Els

Discovery of Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park, one of the country's largest parks. It offers landscapes of a wide variety. The Yolyn Am gorge offers beautiful walks along the river or on the surrounding mountain ridges. More to the west are the large sand dunes of the country, the Els Sand, behind which a large mountain chain is cut.

Day 10: On the Silk Road

Long hiking along the river through the canyons of Dungenee and Yol. Here again no major sporting difficulties, but natural wealth worthy of the most beautiful postcards!

Day 11: Back to the north

Steps: Mandalgov

It is impossible to go further south, so it is time to start the return journey. Stop at Baga Gazriin Chuluuu, for its incredible rock formations where you can walk for a few hours.
