*Itinerary and times may change depending on weather and road conditions.
For Mongolians, Naadam, held in the height of summer in July, is the event they are most attached to. July 11 and 12 are the Naadam days, and in each region of Mongolia the songs praising wrestlers, the voices of children on racehorses urging their horses on, the sound of bows and arrows, and the tones of long songs echo. At 11 a.m. on July 11, the Naadam opening ceremony is held at the Central Stadium in the south of Ulaanbaatar. From the stadium entrance, volunteer soldiers in full dress enter on horseback. At the head, volunteer soldiers on nine white horses carry white banners. These banners have been used in state ceremonies since the time of Chinggis Khaan and are made from the hair of 99 white horses. After the soldiers stand the nine banners on a round platform in the center of the stadium, the President delivers an address and the national anthem begins.
Next, performances by the Mongolian National Song and Dance Ensemble and gymnastics by children are shown. Then the athletes who will take part in events such as archery and wrestling at Naadam gather and bow toward the nine white banners. When the opening ceremony ends, wrestling begins in the stadium, and at the neighboring venue archery and shagai (ankle-bone) shooting are held. Also, horse racing is held at "Khui Doloon Khudag", 50 km from Ulaanbaatar.

Baga Gazriin Chuluu (small land stones) is located about 37 km northwest of Delgertsogt District in the province. This granite area, surrounded by flat plains, lies at 1,768 m above sea level and covers 300 square kilometers. Around the mountain paths and valleys, besides many springs, a considerable number of ancient tombs, kirigsuurs, rock paintings and monuments can be seen. There are many sightseeing spots, such as Ger Chuluu, Suduntiin Am, Jargalant cave, the Eye Spring, and the poplar rocky gorge called Takhiriin Khavtsal. Ger Chuluu has many cave drawings, including a petroglyph depicting a man tying two ibex with a rope. These cave paintings belong to the late Bronze Age and attract attention from researchers.

In the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan Mountains there is a beautiful place called Yolyn Am. Yolyn Am means "Valley of the Eagles" in Mongolian. Indeed eagles fly above the valley, and you can understand the name. The valley is at a high altitude of 2,200 m, and snow remains here even in early summer. In midsummer the snow melts, but the valley without snow is cool and pleasant. On a hot summer day it is fun to walk on the ice in the valley. Wild sheep and goats, wolves, Gobi bears, vultures and wild asses also live here.

The Gobi Desert spreads across southern Mongolia. Much of it is desert with pebbles and low shrubs, but about 200 km from South Gobi, large sand dunes suddenly appear. The dunes, which continue like mountains as far as you can see, are more than about 50 m high. At the foot of the dunes there is a rare landscape with grassland, grass and short trees growing, and small rivers flowing. You often see camels trekking with tourists. This course lets you enjoy the moving scenery of these dunes, said to be No. 1 in Mongolia. Of course you also stay in a ger from which you can see the dunes. Staying in great nature with no man-made objects as far as you can see makes you completely forget daily life. In slow-flowing time, stroll across the dunes on a camel, and at night look up at the starry sky, and you will truly feel embraced by Mongolian nature.
