Morning drive to Dream Gobi Ger camp. Lunch at Ger camp. Afternoon drive to Tugrugiin Shiree, known for the famous fossils of the “Fighting Dinosaurs,” discovered by Dr. Barsbold, the Mongolian-Polish joint expedition leader. The fossils contain the skeletal remains of a Protoceratops and Velociraptor locked in deadly combat. You can find dinosaur bones from the area (Please note, we cannot promise to find any fossils). Several fossilized young dinosaurs in their eggs were found here.

Today is for the exploration of the famous Flaming Cliffs. The place was named as ‘Flaming Cliffs’ by Roy Chapman Andrews, an American explorer who explored the Mongolian Gobi Desert and found Asia’s first dinosaur skeleton and eggs. The red cliff gleams with sunlight and is visible from far away.

Take a short walk on the ridge of the cliff and look for the pieces of Dinosaur bones, then drive a little further to see why they call this place Bayanzag, which means “rich in saxaul shrubs.” Out here in this remote wilderness, you’ll see the spectacular blue sky’s which Mongolia is famous for.

Today drive to Khavtsgait mountain, where we can find many interesting ancient rock painting art-petroglyphs.
Hiking up to the mountain and exploring incredible drawings dating back to Bronze and Iron ages about 3000-5000BC
