After early breakfast at 6am we take a drive to the Khongor sand dunes – Mongolia’s largest and most beautiful sand dunes that stretch over 200km in the arid Gobi Desert. The drive to the dunes at Khongor takes some 3hours, passing through vast desert badlands that span out into the furthest distances, where remote mountains line the horizon. Lone Gers and nomads on camelback hang suspended in the mirages, whilst the desert floor is strewn with a range of colourful rocks and unusual minerals. This is the Gobi at its stark best - there are many opportunities to stop and take photographs of the landscapes and people. Arrive and visit the sand dunes, climbing and photo opportunities and enjoy 1hr short camel ride at the sand dunes. Then return to the Lodge in the evening.
