the trip
On this exceptional journey, exclusive to the Australian Museum Members, we fly to Beijing
where we marvel at the cities most renowned landmarks of Tianamen Square and the
Forbidden City before exploring one of the great wonders of the world, The Great Wall. From
Beijing we head to Mongolia where we are greeted by a welcoming concert of Mongolian
traditional musicand have a full day set aside to explore the capital Ulaanbaatar, including its
Natural History Museum. Our journey commences in Mongolia with a visit to Khustain Nuruu
National Park, where we hope to glimpse the famous wild ‘ takhi’ horses. Next we continue to
Mongolia’s finest monastery at Erdenezuu and Mongolia’s ancient capital of Karakorum.
Returning to Ulaanbaatar we fly south to the magnificent Gobi Desert, one of the last few
wildernesses on earth. It is a treasure chest full of astonishing surprises that draw in the most
avid travellers, explorers and adventurers. This itinerary takes us to the very best of the Gobi
where we will also have the opportunity to experience the full colour of Nadaam.The Naadam
Festival (or eriyn gurvan Naadam) ties in the spirit of Genghis Khan (or Chinggis Khaan, who
in this isolated country is synonymous with strength, unity, law and order), with competition
involving the three manly sports of horse racing, archery and wrestling. The festival, which is
held throughout the country on the anniversary of the 1921 Mongolian revolution, is a time of
celebration and colour.
We explore unique and untouched places amid this vast wilderness - we see the largest
sand dunes in Mongolia at Khongoriin Els, ancient dinosaur relics at the “Flaming Cliffs” of
Bayanzag, the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park containing the Valley of Yolyn Am with
solid ice formations, even in the heat of the Gobi summer. We ride camels and have time
to simply marvel at these astonishing surroundings. In true nomadic style we ride through
the desert in jeeps visiting a local nomadic family and enjoy the famous hospitality of these
hardy people. Every trip to Mongolia is an adventure in the truest sense of the word and this
trip is sure not to disappoint. We hope you can join the Australian Museum Members on this
exclusive tour.

Local cash payments are becoming increasingly popular with many operators in the
adventure travel industry. The policy seems to benefit the tour operators, more than the
local economies or travellers, as it avoids local taxes and transfers the cost and risk of
cash handling to travellers. In accordance with our Responsible Travel practices we have
chosen a policy not to ask for such payments.
detailed itinerary
Day 129 June 2012 Depart Sydney/Arrive Beijing
You will depart Sydney on SQ212 at 0810am and fly, via Singapore to Beijing arriving into Beijing on
SQ810 at 2330pm. On arrival you will be met and transferred to your hotel to rest for the evening

Day 230 June 2012 Sightseeing Beijing
After breakfast we visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Tiananmen Square is the world’s
largest public square and is located only a short distance from our hotel. People flying kites, a
popular pastime all over China, stand next to guards under the ever-watchful eye of Chairman Mao’s
portrait. Which ever way you turn there is another photo opportunity to be found in this huge open
space.
From here we enter The Forbidden City through the Gate of Heavenly Peace. The Forbidden City is
a masterpiece of 5000 years of Chinese civilization and still vividly displays the power and prestige
of the former dynasties. Sprawling over acres, the City is a magnificent group of palaces, pavilions,
courtyards and deep terracotta walls. Ornately furnished palace rooms, priceless artworks and
treasures are all now open to the public after 500 years of seclusion.
After lunch we visit the Temple of Heaven (time permitting). The Temple itself is an architectural
highlight however it’s the crowds of people that makes this spot so interesting and memorable.
Thousands of people gather here to practice ballroom dancing, Tai chi and calligraphy.
After relaxing in the late afternoon we will make our way to the famous Chinese Acrobat show. Set
in an old theatre, the Acrobat show is something to see as very talented young men and women
enthrall the crowd with daring feats involving bicycles, dragons, swords and double-jointed body
parts!

Day 31 July 2012 Great Wall Visit
Today is the real treat as we travel to a beautiful section of the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu
Guan section is approximately a 2 hour drive outside of Beijing, slightly further than the popular and
very busy Badaling Gate section. The Chinese say you must do your hair before visiting the Badaling
section of the wall as you will no doubt meet someone you know. The Mutianyu section is renown
for its Ming Dynasty Guard Towers and stirring views. The Great Wall of China is one of the Seven
Wonders of the World and is one of the worlds most unusual and awesome sites. Commenced 2000
years ago, around 221B.C, it was built as a line of defence to keep out invaders, along the course
of several thousand kilometres. The Emperor Qin Shihuang unified the various northern walls into
the Great Wall we see today. We have the opportunity to walk along this section, quite often with no
one else in sight, and appreciate the many watchtowers as well as the surrounding rolling hills. This
evening we are treated to delicious Beijing Duck dinner.

Day 42 July 2012 Fly Beijing to Ulaanbataar
This morning you will be transferred to the airport for your CA901 flight to Ulaanbaatar, arriving at

afternoon to relax before a welcoming concert of Mongolian traditional music followed by dinner.
meals: b,l,d
Day 53 July 2012 In Ulaanbaatar sightseeing
Today we will have the opportunity to explore the nation’s capital city. First stop is Sukhbaatar
Square, the central square named after the revolutionary hero of 1921 Damdiny Sukhbaatar who
declared independence from China. We visit Gandan Monastery the largest and most famous
functioning monastery in Mongolia, here we may experience monks in worship and see the
impressive Golden Buddha Statue of Migjid Janraisig. Next we will visit the Natural History Museum
to see real life-sized reconstructed dinosaur skeletons collected from the Gobi. An important
landmark on any orientation tour is the State Department Store or “Great Shop” as it is known in
Mongolian.
meals: b,l,d
Day 64 July 2012 Travel to Khustain Nuruu (approx 2 hours drive) and see Takhi Horses
Today we will drive to the Khustain National Park. This park has had an ongoing conservation project
to save the wild Takhi horse (or Przewalski’s Horse) and successfully reintroduce them back into
the Mongolian wilderness. In the evening, we will see the wild horses grazing in the mountains.
Overnight ger camp.
meals: b,l,d
Day 75 July 2012 Travel to Karakorum. Visit Erdenezuu Monastery
Today we will travel to the ancient capital of Mongolia, Karakorum. From here we will visit the
Erdenezuu monastery. Very little remains of Karakorum, from where Genghis Khan launched his
mighty cavalry. What does stand resplendent near the town are the massive walls of the Erdenezuu
Monastery. This monastery had to face the onslaught of Soviet desecration during the 19th century,
but is now being slowly and lovingly restored. There will also be time to do some art and antique
shopping in Karakorum (Approximately 280km/5 hours drive).
meals: b,l,d

adventure travel
By its very nature adventure travel involves
an element of the unexpected. In remote
and developing countries do not expect
standards you are used to at home. Remote
areas are sometimes unpredictable and
itineraries may be altered. To get the
most out of your adventure it is important
that you are flexible, positive and eager
to take on all the challenges that arise. If
you are uncertain about your suitability for
this trip we recommend that you speak
with your consultant or travel agent.

Day 97 July 2012 Drive to Elsen Tasarhai
This morning we will drive to Elsen Tasarhai located in Burd soum in Ovorkhangai Aimag (Province).
The area is surrounded by sand dunes, hills covered with rare bushes and a small forest near a
river. Together this presents a unique combination of Mongolian mountains, forests and Gobi-type
landscape in one location. This area is located approximately 80 km east of Karakorum and is
populated by the Maral stag (elk), wolves, deer and fox. The Elsen Tasarhai literally means “an
isolated torn-off piece of sand” and it is a small sequence of real desert in the midst of green
steppes and can feel in parts like the Gobi desert - a precursor to your visit there in coming days
(approx 180km/5-6 hours drive)

the centre of the South Gobi province. The flight takes approximately one and a half hours, and on
arrival we will be met by our local driver and transferred to a ger camp for lunch.
In the afternoon we drive to the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park. The park lies on the northern
edge of the Gobi desert, and at nearly 27,000 square kilometres is the largest national park in
Mongolia. Our destination is the Flaming red cliffs at Bayanzag. This area is famous as the American
explorer and naturalist, Roy Chapman Andrews, led a series of dinosaur expeditions here in the
1920s. The dinosaur skeletons discovered during his expeditions are now kept in the Natural History
Museum of America.
In the late afternoon we head back to camp for dinner and our first night in the Gobi. Overnight ger
camp.

Day 1210 July 2012 Nadaam Festival
The Naadam Festival is the highlight of the Mongolian Summer, and is known as the eriin gurvan
naadam, after the three “manly” sports of wrestling, archery and horse racing. Children race horses
from as young as 4 years of age and races can be as long as 30kms. The real pride of Mongolia is
the wrestler. Much skill and training goes into this sport and the winner is revered as a hero by all
Mongolians and hence awarded the most prestigious title of the “Lion”. Overnight Ger Camp
meals: b,l,d
Day 1311 July 2012 Morning at Nadaam. To Khongoryn Els sand dunes
Following breakfast, and a chance to enjoy some more of the Nadaam Festival, we drive deep into
the Gobi desert to the Khongoryn Els sand dunes. The ride may be bumpy but you will be rewarded
with incredible desert scenery of flat stony plains, outcrops of vegetation, rugged rock formations,
and herds of wild antelope racing across the plains.
The Khongoryn Els sand dunes - know as the ‘Singing Sands’, cover 965km², and are considered
some of the most spectacular in Mongolia. We spend the afternoon exploring this surreal landscapes
by 4WD.

Day 1412 July 2012 Camel ride and family visit
Today will be an enjoyable rest day at the sand dunes. We will walk up to the sand hills, visit a local
family and ride two humped camels along the sand dunes. Riding camels is relatively easy with their
gentle gait and slow steady pace. Mongolians use bright, colourful, hand-made saddles for riding
which sit between the two humps of the camels. It is important not to frighten or upset the camels, so
no wild or sudden movements!
Tonight you can relax in camp and look at the stars in the clear Mongolian sky.

Day 1513 July 2012 Drive to Gurvan Saikhan Mountain, Eagle Valley (Yol Am)
Today we will set off again by 4WD and drive to Gobi Gurvan Saikhan Mountain, Eagle Valley (Yol Am).
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful regions in Mongolia, Yol Am is nestled deep within the hills and
is a haven from the desert heat. Some areas of the valley are continually sheltered from the hot sun
and house a large ice field that gradually melts away during the summer months. We embark on a
walk in the valley with plenty of time to stop, rest, and enjoy a packed lunch. If we are lucky we will
also see wild mountain goats jump high on the cliff walls and large birds of prey circling overhead in
the sky.
Tonight we celebrate our final night in the Gobi in a nearby Ger camp.

country information
CHINA
China never fails to conjure up a myriad of feelings, images and a sense of mystery. Its history
cannot be summed up here in a few paragraphs and to fully appreciate the currents that have
shaped the country and its people, you must take the time to read at least one of the many
excellent books available.
Within the almost four million square miles of China’s vast territory live more than 1.2 billion
people, which makes it the most populated nation on earth. For centuries, outsiders have
yearned to visit China and it’s only since 1976 that tourism really started. Initially, foreign
visitors were only allowed to see a fraction of what the country had to offer, however, today it is
possible to visit as many as 60 different areas. An increasing number of historical sites are also
being restored and opened up to viewing for foreign tourists.

modern mongolia - land
of ancient hoards
Discover the highlights of Beijing before gaining a thorough insight
into the people, culture and places of Mongolia, including Mongolia’s
largest and most important cultural festival, Nadaam.
As much as China is keen to display its stunning scenery, historical sites and impressive cities,
it is also dedicated to conveying something about how its society works. Although its political
system has set it apart from the west, China is now moving forward in leaps and bounds,
especially in the areas of trade and commerce. The major cities are indicative of the burgeoning
economy of modern China.
As in the days of Marco Polo, travellers are still regarded as honoured guests and the locals
delight in watching you watching them.
MONGOLIA
Mongolia is a vast country, dominated by the steppes to the north and the Gobi Desert to the
south. It is landlocked and with an average altitude of 1,580m (5,180 ft), it is one of the world’s
highest countries. Between the deserts are lakes, both salt and freshwater. Lake Hovsgol holds
2% of the world’s fresh water – so fresh you can drink it. The nomadic lifestyle in Mongolia
prevails even in the growing urban landscape around Ulaanbaatar, where gers (yurt is a Russian
word for ger) are found between the crumbling Soviet style buildings. The ger is the centre piece
of Mongolian traditions. The mobility of the tent suits the nomadic lifestyle, and the layout of
the interior is culturally significant. The door always faces the south and the rear is reserved as
a place of honour for guests, where a family altar is found decorated with family photos and
Buddhist images. The predominant religion of Mongolia is Buddhism, which has been revived
following the lifting of the ban on religion in 1990. Historically, Mongolia has had close ties with
Tibet through the Buddhist religion, and many similarities exist in the culture and lifestyle of
these two countries.
Mongolian religion and their nomadic lifestyle is depicted in their music, literature and artwork.
Throat (or Khoomi) singing is a particular style of male singing which requires special training,
and involves several notes being released at once from the base of the throat. Contortionism
is also a Mongolian tradition, and dance performances will often include a sequence. The
language is Mongolian - part of the Ural-Altaic family which also includes Finnish, Turkish,
Uzbek and Korean. The language is written using the Russian Cyrillic alphabet.
climate
In Beijing in summer the days may be hot, up to 30C (86 F) but it is more likely to be quite
pleasant. Rain can occur at any time but is more likely in spring, March-May.
Mongolia suffers from a severe climate, characterised by long sub-arctic winters where the
average temperature hovers around minus 15ºC. During the summer months of June to August,
daytime temperatures average a pleasant 25ºC with very low humidity in central parts of the
country. The rainy season is from mid-July to September and strong dust storms occur between
May and June.
At the peak of summer in mid-July when the Naadam Festival is held in Ulaanbaatar, daytime
temperatures of 35 ºC are possible however winds can still be cold out on the steppe and a
good warm jacket is still recommended.
what you carry
In your daypack you will need to carry anything you may need while you are out sightseeing
during the day for example, water bottle, camera, spare jacket etc
equipment required
Specialist gear required include comfortable walking shoes and day pack (a comprehensive
gear list is provided in the pre-departure information provided on booking).
