In the morning we start the trip to ''TSAGAAN SUVARGA/ WHITE STUPA. That stunning attraction is one of the most important tourism    point of Mongolian gobi desert, It is situated in 430 km from Ulaanbaatar. 

This white and colourfull rock formation stands around 30 metres in height and has been shaped strangely as a result of thousands of years of wind and water erosion.

It seems like a floor of sea, so it is a clear evidence that there was sea millions years ago.

During the sunset and sunrise it is a great moment of photographing.

In the morning we drive to the flaming cliffs. The destination has 2 names "Baynzag" and flaming cliffs. Normally it is called bayanzag by locals, but it is famous for flaming cliffs in the world. Today we have to drive around 280km to reach the destination flamming cliffs.

In the early years of the last century /1920s/ American anthropologist Roy Chapman Andrews was travelling through Mongolian gobi desert from China to Europe. During his journey he discovered the flaming cliffs and found many dinosaur bones and eggs. The natural formation and views are also incredible and red coloured walls are attractive.

It seemed to be a bottom of sea millions years ago.

We drive around more than 3 hours on the earth road and then reach the sand slope which is named "Khongoriin els".

The sandslope is also called as a singing dune, when it is windy day sand makes something noise like airplane. The sand slope lays around 180km from west to east direction, the wide is 3-4km, but the widest part is 20km… the highest peak is around 200metres, but climbing the highest peak up is not so easy and it is a lot of fun for travellers. This brilliant, incredible place gives us amazing activities such as camel riding, sand sledding, climbing up and other exotic feelings.

Definitely we could create unforgettable memories and lots of fun.

In the morning after breakfast we go to ''Yoliin am''. It takes around  3 hours to reach the destination from ''Khongor sanddune''.

"Yoliin am" means golden eagle's valley. There is huge stone canyons and big eagles built their nests on the rock, day time we can see flying eagles over high peaks of the rocky canyons.

The Eagles have white colour on their chest. So they are named golden eagle. It is the coldest area of Mongolian gobi desert, because high rocky walls hide enormous space from sunshine. So there pretty big layers of ice lay until middle of July.

It is really good to do hiking through canyons. There also we visit an interesting museum.

In the morning after breakfast we drive back to Ulaanbaatar. This day should be pretty long driving on the paved road from the destination to Ulaanbaatar for 574km.
