Speleological expeditions |
|
On the territory of Mongolia there are about 500 caves of carst origin. There is a great possibility of successful research of new caves, because speleology begins to develop in Mongolia. The present caves are not investigated, and new ones are not researched either. Most of caves were inhabited, a lot of mountaineering pictures, ritual objects are found there. Also there are ancient fossils (trees and animal bones). There is a number of caves used for ritual purposes by pagans and Buddhists. There is an opportunity to find valuable artifacts in these caves. The itinerary of speleological tours is planed according to the cave’s position, intended to visit. Duration of the speleological expedition is 10 days minimum.
