12 Days Mongolia & the Gobi Desert Tour Package

Duration: 12 Days / 11 Nights
Priced From: $6,495  pp dbl. occ.
Dates: Jul

Wild horses galloping across the steppes, Genghis Khan, caravans of camels trekking the Gobi Desert—the name “Mongolia” has always stirred visions of the untamed. Even today, you feel like you have stepped into another century rather than another country. You’ll stay in a ger (felt tent), watch horse racing at a local festival, and search for dinosaur bones in the Gobi Desert. It is invigorating and exhilarating place to visit, and remains one of the last unspoiled travel destinations in Asia.

Arrive in Beijing and explore the wondrous historical sites of China’s capital. Travel outside the city to visit the extraordinary Ming Tombs, housing 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and the magnificent Great Wall, the only man-made structure visible from space.

Days 4 & 5 - Ulaan Baatar & Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, Mongolia

Travel north to explore the varied terrain of Gorkhi-Terelj National Park. Search for brown bears along the Tuul River, and learn the art of building a traditional ger—a comfortable circular felt tent.

Days 6 & 7 - Ulaan Baatar

Visit the Winter Palace of Bogd Khaan and the Natural History Museum where you’ll discover two complete dinosaur skeletons. Experience Naadam—the largest festival of the year—with its magnificent displays of athletics and pageantry.

Days 8 & 9 - Gobi Desert & Flaming Cliffs

Absorb the beauty of the Gobi Desert, covering almost 30 percent of Mongolia. Explore the “cemetery of dinosaurs” and discover a splendid oasis in the hidden Yol Valley.

Days 10 - 12 - Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia & Beijing, China

Return to Ulaan Baatar to see the Zaisan Memorial, a tall landmark offering wonderful views of Ulaan Baatar and the surrounding landscape. Spend your last night at the luxurious Beijing St. Regis Hotel.
