Dinner will be at a local restaurant. (D)
Day 2 - At leisure
This morning after breakfast you will visit Gandan Monastery - the centre of Buddhist Religion in Mongolia. Then you drive to the west of Ulaanbaatar and across the landscape for which Mongolia is most famous-the endless green steppe, with grazing herds of sheep accompanied by lone horsemen, and white, nomadic gers dotted over the countryside. Our destination is about 2 hours to the west to a place known as Khustai National Park. This is where they have the on-going project “Reintroducing wild horses back to their homeland”. In the evening you will see the wild horses grazing in the mountain. Meals and overnight at the ger camp. (B,L,D)
Day 3 - Kuantan
This morning you will drive to the ancient capital of Mongolia, Karakorum. Very little remains of the place from where Genghis Khan launched his mighty cavalry. What does remain near the town is the massive walls of the resplendent Erdenezuu Monastery. This monastery had to face the onslaught of Soviet desecration during the 19th century but is now being slowly and lovingly restored. You will visit the monastery and head onto the ger camp at the riverbank of Orkhon. Later you can do some art and antique shopping in Karakorum. Meals and overnight at the ger camp. (B,L,D)
Day 4 - Elephant Conservation Centre - Kuala Lumpur
Today you drive to Tovkhon Monastery, rested on the armchair-shaped peak of Shireet Ulaan Mountain at a height of 2,312 meters. The monastery was built by the initiative of Zanabazar and is the place where many of his most famous artworks were created. To the right of the temple a path leads upward to the summit of the peak. One branch of the path leads to the so-called Mother’s Womb, a narrow passageway which pilgrims crawl through to be symbolically reborn, cleansed of their sins. In the afternoon you continue to the ger camp at Hujirt. Meals and overnight accommodations at ger camp. (B,L,D)
