Journey notes

About this Journey

This morning we will have an exciting adventure in the capital of Mongolia - Ulaanbaatar. After arriving in UB, our route runs in the direction of the “Little Gobi” - an amazing and picturesque corner of nature that amazes with its diversity and beauty.

The Elsentasarhay sand dunes are a true natural wonder, located at the junction of four regions. Stretching for more than 80 km, they create an impressive and majestic landscape, attracting travelers with their beauty and uniqueness.

One of the amazing features of Elsentasarhay is the presence of fertile soil thanks to the groundwater that enriches the region. This creates a unique contrast between sand dunes and green oases where willows, elms and dogwoods thrive. This amazing landscape allows travelers to enjoy the diversity of nature, walking along hiking trails and enjoying the unique views of this region.
