Explore the most beautiful landscapes of central Mongolia and learn the authentic nomadic culture of the Mongols with True Nomadic Adventure Tour Mongolia. Spend your time with local nomads, ride through wild nature, and discover the historical Orkhon valley. Some areas as far as the eye can see, herders “of five muzzles”: goat, sheep, cattle, horse, and camel; nomads riding horses and meadows dotted with white gers.
We smoothly begin that trip in the steppe by the Ugii Lake, we walk by the lake and we can also learn horse-riding. Then, we go to the Orkhon Valley and visit Kharkhorin (Karakorum), the ancient capital city of the Great Mongol Empire Period. After, for four days, we go to the Huisiin Naiman Lake by a real traveling trekking with horses of packsaddle. Naiman Nuur with its exceptional configuration is surrounded by the beautiful nature of the middle part of the Khangai Mountain. These lakes with fresh water and interconnected by groundwater channels such as Shireet, Khaliut, Bugat, Khaya, Khuis, Onon, Doroo, Bayan-Uul are called Huisiin Naiman Nuur. Finally, we reach the dunes of the small Gobi Desert… deserted atmosphere to discover with the family.

Visit Amarbayasgalant Monastery
This morning drive to the famous Amarbayasgalant Monastery. Excursion through the monastery, located at the foot of Burenkhaan mountain, Amarbayasgalant or "Monastery of Tranquil Felicity”, is one of the largest and most important monasteries in Mongolia. Built between 1727 and 1736 with more than 40 temples in honor of Zanabazar, the first Bogd Gegeen (Spiritual leader of Mongolian Buddhism), it is one of the very few monasteries to have partly escaped the destruction of 1937, after which only the buildings of the central section remained. The entire contents: the Tankas, statues, and manuscripts were looted by the Communists or hidden until more fortunate times. Restoration work began in 1988 and now the Amarbayasgalant monastery shows great stylistic unity. (B/L/D)
