gobi desert to golden eagle festival tour・13.0 days

Mongolian two highlights are in one tour package. You may wonder why the Gobi Desert and Eagle Festival are Mongolian highlights. We will explain the reason. Among the earth's many deserts, the Gobi Desert is unique. This semi-desert varies in landscapes, is home to many wild and endangered species, is the second most important paleontological site, is nomads' pastureland, is the coldest desert on our earth, and is picturesque with various color plants. The vast and empty plain meeting with the blue sky horizon pleases you with relaxation, peace, calmness, and the steppe smell. Regarding the Eagle Festival, Mongolian Kazakhs are well known as they have kept their culture and tradition at their origin among the Kazakhs of other countries. On this trip, you first travel to the Gobi Desert when it is warmer and vibrant in color. You will see and photograph Mongolian Instagram spot Tsagaan Suvarga, hike in Eagle Valley in craggy Gurvan Saikhan National Park, see the Gobi Desert sunset and hear sand singing at Khongor dunes, trek among photogenic Flaming Cliffs, visit ancient monastery ruins, and travel to the Orkhon Valley.
