Day-by-Day Highlights of Our Gobi Desert and Terelj National Park / Mongolia Adventure
Day 1-2: Exploring the Gobi Desert’s Hidden Gems of Mongolia Adventure

Our journey kicked off in the Gobi Desert, where we visited Baga Gazriin Chuluu, a surreal landscape of rock formations shaped by centuries of erosion. Next, we ventured into Yoliin Am Valley, a narrow canyon in Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park with ice patches even in summer—a refreshing contrast to the desert heat. The compact itinerary ensured we had time to soak in these natural wonders without feeling rushed.
Day 3-4: Sand Dunes and Flaming Cliffs

The Khongryn Sand Dunes (also known as Khongor Sand Dunes) were a highlight, with their “singing” sands creating an eerie yet mesmerizing sound. We loved hiking up the dunes with our guide, Ogie, who tailored activities to our interests. Then came the Flaming Cliffs (Bayanzag), famous for their red hues and dinosaur fossils. Walking through this prehistoric site felt like stepping back in time.
Day 5: White Stupa and Nomadic Life

The White Stupa (Tsagaan Suvarga) offered stunning panoramic views of the desert, perfect for photos. But the real magic happened at the ger camps. Staying with six hospitable nomadic families gave us a deep dive into Mongolian culture. From hearty local meals—think warm stews and fresh dairy—to cozy nights in clean, comfortable gers, it was an authentic experience we’ll never forget.
Day 6: Terelj National Park Adventure

In Terelj National Park, we explored granite formations like Turtle Rock and enjoyed more hiking, guided by Ogie. The lush greenery and rugged mountains were a beautiful contrast to the desert, rounding out our trip with a mix of landscapes.
Day 7: Farewell to Mongolia
After returning to Ulaanbaatar, we reflected on our adventure, filled with gratitude for the memories made. The trip’s pacing allowed us to see major sites while leaving room for cultural connections.
Cultural Immersion: Living the Nomadic Lifestyle
One of the standout aspects of this tour was staying with nomadic families. “The 6 families/small camps we’d stayed with were absolutely hospitable, especially when it comes to filling our bellies with hearty local meals haha!” we wrote in our review. Dishes like khuushuur (fried meat pastries) and airag (fermented mare’s milk) were delicious highlights. The gers were clean and cozy, though we learned a practical lesson: “Pack extra layers if traveling during cooler periods—coal doesn’t burn through the night!”
Meet Ogie: The Heart of Our Tour
Our driver-guide, Ogie, made this trip truly special. “One of the best parts for us was the fun we had traveling with our driver+guide ‘Ogie,’” we shared. He expertly navigated off-road trails for hours, letting us nap peacefully in the backseat. Beyond his driving skills, Ogie was a wealth of knowledge about Mongolian culture, acting as our translator with local families. Noticing our love for hiking, he guided us up sand dunes, down White Stupa, and around Turtle Rock, making every moment personalized and fun.
