The Gobi Desert is a vast and iconic desert region spanning parts of northern China and southern Mongolia. Known for its striking landscapes of sand dunes, rocky outcrops, and barren plains, the Gobi is one of the world’s largest deserts. It’s a land of extremes, with scorching hot summers and bitterly cold winters, yet it supports a surprising diversity of flora and fauna, including Bactrian camels, wild ass, and elusive snow leopards. The Gobi is also rich in archaeological treasures, with ancient petroglyphs, dinosaur fossils, and the remnants of Silk Road settlements dotting its arid expanse. Adventurers and researchers alike are drawn to the Gobi’s stark beauty and fascinating history.
Embark on a journey to Yoliin Am, also known as the Vulture's Mouth, within the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park. This oasis in the desert surprises with its lush greenery and year-round ice fields, a stark contrast to the surrounding Gobi landscape. Trek through this deep canyon, where sunlight barely reaches, preserving the ice even in summer's heat. Note: The ice may melt by summer's end due to climate change. Options for exploration include hiking or horseback riding. Spend another night in a ger, enjoying stories and hot milk tea with a local herder family under the mesmerizing Mongolian night sky.
Rise early for a drive to the spectacular Khongoryn Sand Dunes. The journey offers incredible views of the desert's vast expanse. Climbing the dunes presents a challenge but rewards with breathtaking vistas of the desert landscape, especially at sunset. Although not included, a camel ride is highly recommended for the full Gobi experience. Tonight, relax at a tourist ger camp, where a hot shower awaits.
Today, head to the Flaming Cliffs, a sight to behold, especially at sunset when the light casts dramatic shadows. Known for significant dinosaur discoveries, including the first find of fossilized dinosaur eggs, the cliffs offer a glimpse into the past in the heart of the Gobi Desert. The afternoon is yours to explore this remarkable location. Spend the evening at a ger camp, enjoying the comfort of a hot shower.
Greet the sunrise and set off on a road trip to Baga Gazariin Chuluu, a majestic granite rock formation stretching over the Dundgobi landscape. Discover its turbulent history and the remains of Buddhist monasteries. For those seeking adventure, climbing the granite towers offers a fitting conclusion to your journey. Tonight, enjoy one last stay in a ger with a farewell dinner among new friends.
Conclude your Gobi expedition with a journey back to Ulaanbaatar, filled with memories of stunning landscapes and cultural immersion. Though leaving may be bittersweet, the experiences and connections made will last a lifetime.
