Drive to White Stupa
We begin our adventure early in the morning, leaving behind the bustling city of Ulaanbaatar as we head south towards the vast and rugged landscapes of the Gobi Desert. Our first destination is the breathtaking White Stupa, known locally as Tsagaan Suvarga.

Its dramatic white and ochre hues shift beautifully under the changing light, making it a spectacular sight to behold. After exploring the White Stupa and taking in the panoramic views, we continue our journey deeper into the Gobi.

Here, we soak in the serenity of the desert, enjoying the stillness of the vast open landscapes under a star-filled sky.

Visit Yoliin Am
Today, we venture into Yoliin Am, a stunning canyon nestled within the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains.

Khongor Sand Dune
