5 jours trek en chameaux dans le desert de Gobi. Circuit en Mongolie.

Jour 1

Ulaanbaatar - To Ikh Nart (-/Déjeuner/Dîner)
At 08h00 pick up from your hotel in Ulaanbaatar and transfer to the railway station. Depart by the slow train at 09h00 and spend 6h20 traveling southeast over the grassland steppe, which gradually becomes the more arid Gobi steppe. Disembark at Shivee Gobi, a train platform seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but actually near the small town of Shivee Gobi, which serves a nearby open pit coal mine. Shivee Gobi is the next small platform after Choir. Drive to Ikh Nart.
Accommodation & meal plan: Red Rock Ger Camp

Jour 2

Camel trek (Petit déjeuner/Déjeuner/Dîner)
For three days we will explore the Ikh Nart area on foot having our luggage loaded on to a camel carts caravan. We will head out through the reserve and its labyrinth of rock formations and try view different kinds of wildlife. There is Argali Sheep, which are most common to be seen, but also Siberian Ibex (Capra sibirica) and bird life. Three parallel mammal research projects are on-going by Mongolian and foreign scientistâs. It is on Argali Sheep and Siberian Ibex, as well as on small carnivores primarily geared towards as Corsac Fox (Vulpes corsac), Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Badger (Meles meles) and Pallasâs Cat (Otocobolus manul) but also collecting any possible data on Lynx (Lynx lynx) and Wolves (Canis lupus) as well as its prey species such as gerbils, jerboas. And hedgehogs. For aviafauna there is on-going research of Cinereous Vulture and Lesser Kestrels (Falco naumanni). Botanistâs are also regular visitors. Herders come and go at the Ikh Nart area. They are essentially reliant on pastures and any precipitation, why they are migrating a lot. Being Gobi herders, they migrate a lot. Very interesting, hospitable and hardy people. We will stay at a tiny Luxury Wilderness Camp of gers.

Practicalities:
Transport: This journey is supported by a private jeep or minibus to and from Ikh Nartiin Chuluu Nature Reserve. We use train to/from Ulaanbaatar and jeep/bus for the return transfer. Camel carts support during the walk.

Staff: A Mongolian leader will accompany the group at all times. The service will be in English. Other language interpreters are available upon request. There will also be a cook. In addition, the services of the local herdsmen will be hired along with their animals.

Meals: Our cook will prepare the meals. We pride ourselves in having cooks adept at both western and Mongolian cooking on our trips. There are always vegetables available and we have no problem accommodating vegetarians on our trips.

Overnights: The gers have 2 beds in each, and they are furnished with beds, stools and a table. Triples are possible as an additional bed may be added.

Additional treks: You have the choice to stay another day or two in Ulaanbaatar or transfer out to your next destination via Beijing. We, however, recommend that you join our Yak Trek for one more week of exciting adventure in a contrasting environment of rivers, steppe valleys, meadows and deep forests. Check our dates!

Riding horses: There will be an opportunity for experienced riders at the time of booking to order a riding horse. This cost is payable in Mongolia only. Mongolian horses are peculiar and horsemanship is somewhat different among the Mongols as compared to home. We suggest you bring your own riding hat with you.
