Grasslands & the Gobi: Inner Mongolia

Inner Mongolia

Discover a side of China few visitors reach on this nine-day journey through Inner Mongolia’s grasslands, desert and volcanic terrain. Travel from Ordos through Yulin’s canyon landscapes, Genghis Khan’s ceremonial mausoleum, the Yellow River bend at Old Ox Bay and the ancient lava fields of Ulan Hada. Spend a night in a yurt on the Xilamuren Grassland, share Mongolian food and culture, then visit Hohhot’s Great Mosque before crossing the singing dunes of Resonant Sand Bay. Return Batik Air flights, accommodation, meals, private coach transport, guide service and tipping are included. Built-in halal meals and mosque visits make this an unusual, thoughtfully arranged route through China beyond the familiar city circuit.

Batik Air flight OD626 departs KLIA at 1500 and arrives in Ordos Ejin Horo Airport at 2050. The flight time is approximately 5.5 hours. Ordos is a relatively new city built on plateau above the Mu Us Desert — clean, wide boulevards and a skyline that surprised most first-time visitors. Check in on arrival and rest.

KLIA Departure — Arrive at KLIA with sufficient time before the 1500 departure. Batik Air includes 20kg checked baggage. Keep a warm layer accessible; Inner Mongolia's evenings can be cool even in summer.
