ONLY 4 BRAVES (#2) 7 days / 6 nights A short tour discovering the steppe
DAY 1 ULAAN BAATAR -HUSTAII NATIONAL PARK Arrival at Ulaan Baatar Airport. Meet the guide and the drivers. Transfer to the centre of the Capital and lodge at 5***** hotel (use until midday). In Mongolia there aren’t all those facilities that are present in the Western Countries. On the other hand, as we have written in the introduction, these are not tours, these are CHALLENGES!!!! The Hotel has lifts, there are only few “barriers” and the bathrooms are large (even if there aren’t specialised fittings & handle bars). This hotel can be considered, without doubts, the best solution in UlaanBaatar. Rest time. Then, briefing with the guide to deepen the understanding of each other or to solve some need. Lunch free. In the afternoon departure toward Hustaii National Park (2 hours drive): even if the distance is short, we’ll stop many times in the order to familiarise with the steppe. Arrival at the ger camp. Dinner & overnight stay. (HB) DAY 2 HUSTAII NATIONAL PARK - KHARKHORIN After breakfast, we leave the camp and we visit, escorted by the rangers, the inner park. Here, we can see many wild animals like eagles, marmots, gazelles, foxes and the famous Takhi wild horses. Even if the steppe is totally lacking in suitable facilities, it will be easier to handle than the Capital. After, we’ll drive to Kharkhorin, the ancient capital of Chinghis Khaan. Lunch at a local restaurant on the road. In the late afternoon arrival at the ger camp. Dinner and overnight stay. (FB) DAY 3 KHARKHORIN - TSENKHER HOT SPA Breakfast.
