Today we will drive to Orkhon waterfall, which is located in Orkhon river valley. The waterfall was formed by volcanic eruptions about 20.000 years ago. The waterfall cascades from a height of 20m. It is a scenic, tranquil spot and the surrounding nature is undisturbed. Here you will have the opportunity to go for a good walk. After visiting the waterfall, we will meet a hospitable nomad family and you will stay overnight in their guest Ger. We will discover their way of life by helping them with the daily activities, including milking a cow, cooking traditional dishes, herding livestock and making dairy products.
