SIGHTSEEINGS
YOL CANYON is a deep and narrow gorge in the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains located in distance of 35- 40 km from Dalanzadgad, the center of Umnugobi province. You will enjoy a beautiful walk through the gorge that is about 3km long. Inside the gorge never sees sunlight so you may find some ice on the little river inside the gorge while you are walking. You can also go through the gorge on a horse but when it narrows horses won’t be able to fit so you can ride horses as long as it allows you to reach or you can just simply walk all the way. You may see rare animals like ibexes, martens, snow leopards, vultures, eagles, and hawks around the mountain.
KHONGOR SAND DUNE is located in destination of 190 km away from Dalanzadgad. The sand dune covers 180km area and it glistens along contrasting with rocky mountain Sevree behind. You will walk on the endless sand dunes with your shoes off and enjoy the breathtaking view from the top of the sandy mountain. When the sun sets on the sandy mountains the surrounding color turns orange and it will be the most picturesque moment of the trip. The kids can slide or jump from the top of the dunes or play with sand.
