Zorgol Mountain (1660m) Adventure Tour!
Duration
1 night and 2 days
From Ulaanbaatar, the journey leads to the stunning rocky mountains of the Gobi region. Among these is Zorgol Mountain, home to several caves, with the largest being "Dance Ran." This tour will explore the Tommt Cave, located to the northwest of Zorgol Mountain. While typically frequented only by birds, this cave can be explored under the guidance of a professional climber.
The name Zorgol means "fawn," and legend has it that a doe with her fawn once lived here. Facing constant threats from wolves, the doe would turn her fawn into stone to hide it safely and then restore it with her milk upon returning. However, one day a crow's shadow fell over the fawn, and it could no longer be restored. This tale is part of the local lore.
Experience the adventure of exploring Zorgol Mountain's caves and hiking the majestic rocky steppe over two enriching days. Immerse yourself in nature's beauty while ensuring your safety throughout this unforgettable journey.

Tour Plan
Depart from Ulaanbaatar at 7:30 AM to head towards the South Gobi region, with a travel time of approximately 4.5 hours. After setting up camp and having lunch, hike Zorgol Mountain in the afternoon, aiming for the summit. From this rocky peak, enjoy panoramic views in all directions, offering a sensation similar to flying over the vast steppe. Wildlife encounters may include deer, Mongolian ibex, wild goats, and occasionally wolves. After descending, enjoy free time and a traditional Mongolian barbecue, Khorhog (stone-baked lamb), around the campfire. Hiking takes approximately 2-3 hours, with a travel distance of 110 km on paved roads and 60 km on dirt roads.
Breakfast at the camp is followed by a challenge: exploring a cave inside a 100-meter-high rock formation. Enter the cave using either a rope descent from the top or an ascent from below. Mongolian professionals will ensure safety and provide full support. Conquer your fears and embrace this new adventure. In the afternoon, visit a nomadic Ger for a horseback riding experience before returning to your hotel in Ulaanbaatar. The return journey includes 110 km on paved roads and 60 km on dirt roads. Enjoy your adventure and create lasting memories.
Visiting Mongolia was an absolute dream come true! The ancient ruins are truly mesmerizing, and the views are breathtaking.
Thank you very much for your support towards climbing Otgontenger this time.
Being able to communicate in Japanese for everything from email exchanges during the preparation stage to on-site follow-up was really helpful for me, as I don't have any language skills.
During the climb, the two young guides supported me as I was about to give up due to the blizzard and snow walls, and successfully guided me to the summit. I was surprised to hear that the company has only been established for a few years. I pray that it will continue to prosper.
Please take me somewhere else.
I am very grateful to the four of you for giving me your support.
The starry sky was beautiful, and the mountains, rivers, and flowers were beautiful.
I had a cold and was having a hard time, but with the help of the staff, I was able to climb Khuiten.
thank you.
I felt like I was able to climb a mountain for the first time in a while.
Also, I am very satisfied with the "hospitality" of the staff, including Mr. Uruka.
However, as we get older, we often forget things, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your continued support.
Thank you very much.
