This ceremony is all about praying and worshiping the sun, surrounding mountains and the nature. Mongolians believe that every mountain has it’s own lord. The shamans want to show their respect and love for the nature by worshiping them. So we are about to go there together as a group in the midnight because it will start along with the sunrise. As you can watch all the shamanic performances how their rituals are combined with the nature. There will be also many mongolian viewers who believes in shaman.

In the evening we will visit together the fire ceremony. It’s one kind of way that shaman connects with their holy spirits and the surrounding nature. Shamanic performances with the fire will be showen there.

After lunch we will head to little sand dunes to the west. There we stay in sweet gobi eco camp.

Sweet gobi: This 80-km sand dune is situated in a terrain of 3 Soums, Erdenesant of Tuv Aimag, Burd of Uvurkhangai, Gurvanbulag of Bulgan Aimag, starting from west of Mount Batkhaan and stretches along west of Mount Khugnu Khan . The main road separates this sand dune into two parts, Mongol Els on the south and Khugnu Tarnyn Els on the north. The sand is sodden under its surface, so shrubberies such as willow, elm and dogwood, grow in the area. There are many tourist camps around the sight. Elsen
