Sand Dune: A sand dune stretching 80 km along the foot of the Khang Khan Mountain, a unique natural formation combined with the Khangai Gobi.

Erdenezuu, Mongolia’s first Buddhist monastery, was established on the site of the ancient city of Khar Khorum, and a museum displaying artifacts related to the city of Khar Khorum.
Built atop the old capital city of Kharakhorum, Erdene Zuu Monastery is made from the stones and rubble from this important Silk Road stop. The oldest and most elaborate monastery left in Mongolia, Erdene Zuu dates back to 1586. At its peak, Erdene Zuu Monastery was home to almost 100 temples and 1,000 monks. Only three temples remain standing today, but the monastery still holds an impressive number of statues, tsam masks, and thangkas from throughout the monastery’s history.
Day 2: Tsenkhriin Hot Spring
After breakfast, we will head to the Blue Hot Spring. We will relax in the hot spring that day.
Mongolia’s hot springs are one of its best kept secrets. A place that’s great for weary travelers, families, or just a weekend of rest and relaxation, Duut Resort is our favorite place to stay at the Tsenkher hot springs. Mongolia’s hot springs are rich in minerals and an enjoyable 86-degrees. Slipping into one of the resort’s hot spring baths is known to relieve fatigue, treat joint, and skin disease.

Day 4: Terkh White Lake

The Khorgo Mountain volcano crater is one of the most unique natural wonders you’ll find anywhere in Mongolia. That also makes it one of the best places to visit on a trip to Mongolia. A popular spot for hiking and picnicking, the mountain is close to Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake, so you’ll be able to experience both places together. The hike up the side of the mountain so you can peer down into the crater takes about 30 minutes and is clearly marked with signs and stairs.
One of the most beautiful lakes to visit in Mongolia, Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake is 16 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide. Because of the lake’s size, it’s easy to find great camping spots around the lake’s shores. The lake is part of Khorgo Terkhiin Tsagaan National Park and driving to the lake is like being transported to Iceland thanks to the volcanic rock and lava fields that make up this unique area. This is one of the most interesting roads to drive in Mongolia.
Day 5: Khuvsgul Province
From Terkhian Tsagaan Nuur, we will depart early in the morning towards Khuvsgul Sea.
We will pass through Muron town and arrive at Khuvsgul Sea Tourist Camp. We will have dinner and rest.
A city with many different pronunciations, Mörön is the capital of Khusgul Province. Most travelers arrive here by plane from Ulaanbaatar. The 1.5 hour flight eliminates an otherwise 12 hour drive from the capital. Lovers of Soviet architecture will love the Mörön Stadium Wrestling Palace and visiting the market is a great way to meet and mingle with locals and pick up any gear you might have forgotten before adventuring this far north.
Day 6: Khuvsgul Lake
Walking along the beach
Boat and Sukhbaatar cruise. (at the expense of the tourists) Shop for local handicrafts. After Dinner Free time (Leisure)
Khuvsgul Lake is the world’s second largest freshwater lake and is considered a ‘sister lake’ to Lake Baikal in the north. The lake freezes over completely in wintertime and the annual Ice Festival is one of the best festivals in Mongolia. In summertime, the lake is a popular place for locals who come for kayaking, fishing (with a fishing permit), horseback riding, and hiking. Fishing permits can be purchased from park rangers or at local guesthouses.
One of the last places in the world where you’d expect to find sunken military ships is Mongolia. But in Khuvsgul Lake, a few remain. Rent a glass-bottomed kayak and go out in search of the few that remain close to shore – seeing them from above is a surreal experience.
Day 7: Back To Ulan-Bator
After breakfast, depart for UB city. The trip ends upon arrival in UB. (Lunch Dinner included)
