Your journey begins as your guide and driver pick you up from your hotel in Ulaanbaatar.

In the late afternoon, check in to your tourist camp, enjoy dinner, and relax in a peaceful natural setting.
After breakfast, visit a local nomadic family to learn about their traditional lifestyle, customs, and daily routines.

Explore the park with short walks and wildlife viewing opportunities. Check in to your tourist camp and enjoy a quiet evening surrounded by open steppe and rolling hills.
