Overview

The Gobi Desert by 4x4, with an Italian-speaking guide and nights in gers, the nomads' tents. From Ulaanbaatar you head south among the granite formations of Baga Gazryn Chuluu, down to the Valley of the Eagles, a narrow gorge where ice lingers into summer.

The Khongor dunes, up to 300 metres high, "sing" when the wind moves the sand. At Bayanzag, the Flaming Cliffs, the first nests of dinosaur eggs were found. Then Ongi monastery and Karakorum, Genghis Khan's ancient capital, with Erdene Zuu monastery and its 108 stupas.

On the way back, a visit to a nomadic family and, in Ulaanbaatar, an evening of traditional music and dance.
