Resumo da viagem
Steppe Heritage is an activity-packed tour into central Mongolia. Visit the Orkhon Valley- a World Cultural Heritage site- the Khogno Khan Reserve, and the dunes at Elsen Tasarkhai before venturing to the Hustai National Park to see the wild Takhi horses and plenty of other wildlife. This condensed trip lets you experience as much of Mongolia as possible in just four days. Overnight, stay in authentic guest gers next to local nomadic families and in a comfortable ger camp for one night. Learn about your hosts’ culture and traditions, socialise with them, ride horses and Bactrian camels, hike, and visit hilltop temples. This all-encompassing trip contains most of what Mongolia offers, including must-dos and must-sees, and is perfect for those with limited time in the country.
Itinerário dia a dia
After meeting your guide at 08:30 am at your chosen location, board the vehicle and head west to the Orkhon Valley. The drive is mostly on a paved road and should take 4 hours. We will have lunch at the local eatery on our way. Upon arrival, first visit Erdene Zuu Monastery to hear the monks chant, which takes place from 2 pm. Take a walk around the main temples and stroll around the grounds. Afterwards, take a guided tour of the interesting local museum, and visit the local felt workshop or the Art Gallery. In the late afternoon, the monument of the 3 Kings overlooks the Orkhon River, and the fertility stone is on the edge of town.
