Tsagaan Suvarga: Mongolia’s Hidden Gem & A Lesson in Sustainable Travel
Venturing into Mongolia’s vast landscapes, I found myself at Tsagaan Suvarga, a breathtaking natural wonder often called the "White Stupa." These towering cliffs, sculpted by time and wind, shift colors with the sunlight, creating a mesmerizing spectacle in the heart of the Gobi Desert.
Traveling here is a humbling reminder of nature’s power and fragility. The silence of the desert, the untouched beauty, and the sheer scale of the landscape urge visitors to tread lightly. Sustainable travel isn’t just about leaving no trace—it’s about respecting local traditions and ecosystems. Staying in a ger camp, I embraced a slower, more mindful way of travel, supporting nomadic communities that have coexisted with this land for centuries.
Mongolia’s pristine environment depends on responsible tourism. Opting for eco-conscious accommodations, using reusable bottles, and following designated trails help preserve this sacred land. Tsagaan Suvarga is a destination that teaches patience, appreciation, and the importance of sustainable exploration.
If you ever find yourself in Mongolia, let the White Stupa’s beauty inspire you—to travel responsibly, to respect nature, and to leave behind only footprints, not impact.

Mongolian Gobi Desert: Chagang Sobraga at the foot of the cliff🇲🇳
[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️]
Let's go to Tsagaan Suvarga on this trip!!✈️
🛄ㅣTsagaan Suvarga (Цагаан суварга)🐫
Mongolia is a country where vast grasslands and vast deserts coexist. On this trip, I visited Tsagaan Suvarga (Цагаан суварга, Tsagaan Suvarga), one of Mongolia's hidden gems. Tsagaan Suvarga means 'white stupa', and is a place with a spectacular view of huge cliffs in red and white. It is located in the Gobi Desert region of southeastern Mongolia and boasts a magnificent landscape like a work of art created by nature!!🏜
As soon as I arrived at Tsagaan Suvarga, I was breathtakingly impressed by the huge cliffs that unfolded before my eyes. The cliffs, which are about 30m high and 400m long, were a masterpiece of nature formed over time. The colors of the cliff were red, orange, and white, layered in layers, creating a mysterious atmosphere like Mars~😙
The most impressive moment was the view from the top of the cliff. The endless Mongolian land came into view, and it felt like I was standing on another planet, not Earth. The wind was blowing hard, but even that wind made the vast beauty of Tsagaan Sobraga even more real!!👍
If you are planning a trip to Mongolia, I highly recommend visiting Tsagaan Sobraga. It is not just a tourist attraction, but a magnificent work of art created by Mother Nature over tens of millions of years. In particular, the view from the top of the cliff was so impressive that it was deeply engraved in my eyes and heart. If you want to experience a new thrill in the great nature of Mongolia, go to Tsagaan Sobraga!~🫠

Mongolian Gobi Desert: The breathtaking Tsagaan Sor-Laga🇲🇳
[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️]
Let's go to Chagang Sobraga in the Gobi Desert for this trip!!✈️
🛄ㅣChagang Sobraga (Цагаан суварга)🏜
Chagang Sobraga arrived after about 6 hours of driving from Ulaanbaatar. After passing through the endless grasslands, magnificent cliffs and canyons with red and white colors unfolded before my eyes. I couldn't help but be amazed when the scenery I had only seen in pictures appeared before my eyes.
Chagang Sobraga resembles a white stupa as its name suggests, and it was such a mystical landscape that it was hard to believe that it was a work of nature. Standing under the huge cliff, I realized how small humans are!!🙂
I walked along the cliff of Chagang Sobraga in the afternoon. It wasn't difficult to walk because the dirt road was soft underfoot, but I had to be careful because the edge of the cliff was steep. The wind blew strongly, keeping my balance, but with each step I took, a new landscape unfolded.
When I looked down from the cliff, an endless yellow-colored valley was spread out. I thought that the power of nature was truly amazing, as traces of the time when this place was the sea remained. The rugged appearance of the cliff contrasting with the vast grassland in the distance was impressive~!!
There is almost no sound in Chagang Sobraga. There are no cars and not many people, so all you can hear is the sound of the wind. It was a moment when I could fully feel the Mongolian air in the quiet nature.
After walking for a while, the wind blew strongly and I felt the dust brushing my face. I thought that Mongolian nature is rough but beautiful. Just stopping here for a moment and looking at the surrounding scenery without saying anything made my heart feel peaceful.😙
If you are thinking of traveling to Mongolia, Chagang Sobraga is a must-visit place~🫠

When I turned 20, the overseas travel destination I really wanted to go to
was Mongolia!
My travel goals were to ride a Purgong and ride on the wide grasslands, and to see the great outdoors,
and Mongolia is truly a place that is one with
nature!
Chagang Sobraga is about 450km from Ulaanbaatar, also known as the Grand Canyon,
and it is said that it was formed when the sea rose and cliffs surrounded it.
Chagang Sobraga, whose grandeur I couldn't express in words,
felt like I was in a game!
When you think of Mongolia, it's traditional to sleep in a ger,
but it was more cozy, warm, and a good memory than I thought.

[Mongolia] Mongolian version of the Grand Canyon "Tsagaan Sawarga"
Tsagaan Suvarga is a hidden gem in the Gobi Desert in southern Mongolia. It's a desert area with a marbled pattern, and it's like a Mongolian mini Grand Canyon! The sculptures in the earth look like palaces in the earth. If you look closely at the first picture, you can see a person standing on the cliff. I didn't go down, but a group of foreigners went down and were trekking. It was impressive to see so many Korean tourists in such a remote area. There is a base camp nearby, and you can stay in a Mongolian tent ger. Surprisingly, there was electricity, gas, and water, so it was comfortable! (At night, insects come in)
At night, the sky is full of stars

Tsagaan Suvarga is a less-known marble canyon in the southern Dundgovi province, Mongolia, near the Gobi Desert. I thought it's similar as a small Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA. You can see there are a couple of tourists on the cliff in 1st and 2nd photos. Actually you can walk around the ground probably.
There is the campsite for visitors staying Mongolian traditional Gel tents with basia lifeline like the electrical power, gus, water, showers and a restaurant.

Through the Gobi’s Vastness: Discovering the White Stupa
Tsagaan Suvarga (White Stupa) is a very beautiful cliff that has rainbow colours in Gobi Desert Mongolia
Getting There - I went there with a local tour guide and driver who is highly skilled at driving. You can visit this as part of a tour to Gobi desert.
Attractions - White stupa is a stunning natural limestone formation. First see the the beautiful rainbow cliffs from the top to get a full panoramic view. Then you can drive downwards into the cliffs and experience them upclose. You can see a stark contrast against the surrounding desert landscape.
Accomodations - You can stay at a tourist camp in the area. They usually come with good toilet and showering facilities. I stayed at Gobi Erdene whitch is really nice.
Food - You can enjoy traditional Mongolian food in the tourist camps such as meats, dumplings.

Natural theater between the Gobi Desert
Tsagaan Suvarga, a large mineralized altered rock, is a vast Danxia landform of wind-eroded sandstone cliffs rich in rare earth elements. Climbing to the top of the cliff, you can see the undulating yellow and red sandstone all around. You can also find many purple minerals.
When we went there, we happened to catch a local video recording program, with traditional music performances. In the midst of the Gobi Desert, it was quite a unique experience.

A mysterious land that seems to stand on a planet🥹 Mongolia's Chagang Sobraga
#TravelSupportEvent #OverseasTravel #MongoliaTravel #ChagangSobraga
If you ask me to recommend a place to travel to right away when you are young, I can say Mongolia without hesitation.
A place where you can feel like there is only nature and me, me and nature, and experience running on an endlessly endless land, that is Mongolia!
Among them, ChagangSobraga in the Khovsgul region is a mysterious nature reserve that makes you feel like you are standing on Mars (be careful, I have never been there),
and is nicknamed the Grand Canyon of Mongolia, and is a magnificent nature itself that becomes a painting no matter where you take a picture.
It is a pity that I can only capture this vast nature in a photo like this!

🏜️How to get there: You can take a car through a local Mongolian tour!
