Various activities in the vast desert

When you think of the 'desert', what activities come to mind?

If you visit the desert, you can't miss out on camels! Enjoy a Bactrian Camel Trekking while viewing the highest sand dune in the Hongo-Rin Els Desert, Dot Manghang. Unlike the single-humped camel, ride a Bactrian Camel that has two humps and see the sand dunes for an hour. Also, since it is the highest sand dune, don't forget to try sandboarding to enjoy the feeling of speed. While experiencing the activity, take a desert life photo with the fine sand and high sand dunes as the background.

Also, the biggest attraction of the Gorwangsaehang National Park located in the south of the Gobi Desert, Yolingam, also known as the Eagle Valley, is a horseback riding experience that will take you through the valley. Experience a different side of Mongolia by riding a horse in Yolingam, where many wild animals, including wild eagles, live!

Terelj National Park, the mecca of Mongolia's great nature

Mongolian Terelj National Park is one of the largest national parks in Mongolia, established in 1992 to preserve and protect Mongolia's natural and cultural heritage.

Terelj National Park has beautiful scenery with wide plains, cliffs, and windswept sand dunes. The area also has a lot of preserved traditional Mongolian gers, portable tents, providing an opportunity to experience traditional Mongolian life and culture.

Here you can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as trekking, camping, and safaris, and experience beautiful scenery and interesting biodiversity.

A night in a ger with the Milky Way

A 'ger' is a traditional Mongolian dwelling made of a wooden frame covered with thick cloth or leather woven from animal hair. The ger experience is one of the must-do activities when traveling to Mongolia.

A night in a ger will be a special time to experience Mongolia's unique culture firsthand! At night, use the astronomical telescope to observe the beautiful and wonderful Milky Way and stars up close. Seeing the countless stars and the Milky Way decorating the night sky will be an unforgettable memory.

Taste the Mongolian traditional lamb dish, Khorkhog

When talking about representative traditional Mongolian food, you can't leave out khorkhog.

Khorkhokh is a Mongolian dish originally made and served to honored guests or for family events. It is made by adding preheated Mongolian steppe pebbles called 'choto', lamb, vegetables, etc. and cooking them together for about 2 hours. If you travel to Mongolia, you can try Khorkhokh, a traditional dish that you must try at least once. Don't worry if you can't eat lamb! Outdoor samgyeopsal is also prepared as a special dish.
