Escape the city and explore the beautiful Semi-Gobi desert on this full-day adventure to Elsen Tasarkhai, one of Mongolia’s most unique natural landscapes.

Located about 280 km west of Ulaanbaatar, Elsen Tasarkhai is often called the “Mini Gobi” because it combines sand dunes, green steppe, forests, and rocky mountains all in one place. This rare landscape gives visitors a chance to experience the atmosphere of the Gobi Desert without traveling far from the capital.

During this day tour, you will explore the beautiful sand dunes, enjoy a traditional Bactrian camel ride, and experience authentic Mongolian nomadic culture. You will also have the opportunity to visit a local nomadic family, learn about their daily life, and taste traditional dairy products such as airag (fermented mare’s milk) and Mongolian milk tea.
