Upon arrival in Ulaanbaatar, a local guide will accompany you to the hotel, where you can recharge before an afternoon dedicated to Mongolian history: you will visit the National History Museum and Genghis Khan Square, a symbol of national pride. The evening ends with a dinner in the hotel.

The next morning, you will leave for the Gobi desert: a journey that will take you to the heart of the most authentic Mongolia, between steppes and nomadic camps. Lunch in a gher camp, followed by exploration of Baga Gazryn Chuluu, a sacred mountain surrounded by unique granite rocks. You will then reach Sum Khukh Burd, a reserve with a lake and an ancient castle that seem suspended in time.

You will continue towards the spectacular Valle dei Rapaci (Yolyn Am), famous for its frozen gorges even in summer, and you will have a picnic immersed in nature. The next day, it will be the turn of the famous "singing" dunes of Khongryn Els, up to 300 meters high, where the wind creates a magical sound; you can explore them on foot up to the oasis that stands at their end.

The next stop, Bayanzag, will take you to the “Flaming Cliffs,” an iconic place where dinosaur fossils have been found, including perfectly preserved eggs. In the nearby Saxaul forest you will have a unique experience in the desert landscape.

The journey continues with a visit to the Ongi temple, formerly one of the most important in Mongolia, now partially restored and immersed in a suggestive atmosphere. You will then visit Kharakorum, the ancient Mongolian capital, and the magnificent Erdene Zuu Monastery, with its 108 stupas.

Finally, you will meet a nomadic family, to experience a moment of authentic cultural exchange, and you will return to Ulaanbaatar for an evening of Mongolian folklore, including typical music and dances.
