Gobi Bear Tour Itinerary

day 1 Ulan Bator

Your safety and health is our highest priority and therefore we are applying the newest COVID-19 hygiene standards at all times. After landing you’ll be picked up by one of our Followthetracks/SIXT staff members - simply look out for the sign in the arrival hall. You’ll be brought to a 3* hotel in Ulaanbaatar and handed out a local SIM card with call and internet package. Before the road adventure starts, we will not only explore Ulan Bator, the vibrant capital of Mongolia, but also dive into your own camera gear and prepare you for the upcoming photography days.

day 2 WHITE STUPA

Get in the car for your second day and head south to the incredible Tsagaan Suvarga or better known as White Stupa. Shaped strangely as a result of thousands of years of wind and water erosion this white limestone rock formation stands at around thirty metres. You will adapt to Mongolia in the blink of an eye, discovering its wilderness. Get ready for what’s to come because the Gobi Bear Route is full of surprises and unforgettable moments!

day 3 YOLYN AM

After exploring White Stupa go back off the beaten path to Yolyn Am Canyon. And what better than our FollowTheTracks app to guide you throughout your trip so that you don’t miss anything of Mongolia! Known for a deep ice field the Canyon has been shaped by water erosion over the course of million years. At nightfall, sit around a campfire, and let your soul wander off under a crystal clear sky. Have a good rest but don’t miss the sunrise, you’ll regret it!

day 4 KHONGORYN ELS

Get ready to explore a desert that is expanding every day! Head further west to the great sand dunes of Khongoryn Els.Accompanied by Zorigoo, a camel herder, you are crossing the desert on camelback and photograph them. Climb on some of the biggest dunes up to 80m high and as a little bonus you might even sled one down. End your day on top of a dune while enjoying the sunset and the blue hour. Finally, you will be comfortably sleeping in your iKamper rooftop tent or in one of Zorigoo’s guest gers.

day 5 FLAMING CLIFFS

It’s time to head to the heart of the Gobi Desert and more precisely towards the Flaming Cliffs. A stunning cliff structure that looks like it’s on fire during sunset! The Flaming Cliffs were once an ancient sea bed which existed 60-70 millions years ago. While it is also home to fossils of ancient creatures it has been preserved for the benefit of humanity’s global scientific heritage as well as the posterity of the Mongolian people.

day 6 MANZUSHIR MONASTERY

Are you ready for the last stage of the Gobi Bear Route? Founded in 1733 the Manzushir Monastery is located in the strictly protected area of the Bogd Khan mountain. The best way to enjoy Mongolia on last time and end a trip in peace! Enjoy your last night under the Mongolian stars by the campfire before leaving this incredible country

day 7-8 UB & Departure

Spend your two last night in a 3* hotel in the vibrant capital and edit your images together with Max. Later on you will end your Mentorship experience with Max during a tasty goodbye dinner. However, even the most amazing trip will eventually come to an end but - feel free to ask us to extend your trip: we have plenty of more things for your to do and places to visit! A SIXT / Follow The Tracks staff member will pick you up at your hotel on the day of departure and will bring you safely to the airport.
