TOUR OVERVIEW

The Mongolian Gobi Desert is the sixth-largest desert in the world and 2nd largest in Asia. Although many people think of a desert as much sand, the Mongolian Gobi Desert has much vegetation and vast steppes and is home to many camel herders. Its colossal size and sparse inhabitation offer much tranquility and evoke mysteries in the people who visit it.

During our travel, we will explore the most exciting and extraordinary places, such as Vulture Canyon, also known as Eagle Valley, Khongor sand dunes, and Bayanzag flaming cliffs, which are especially important as regards dinosaur fossils from the late Cretaceous period, which is the last of the main three periods of the dinosaur age, representing the final phase of dinosaur evolution, etc. There are many exciting things to discover in Mongolian, mysterious and majestic Gobi.

We will show you the best components of this immense legendary desert and explore the beautiful Terelj National Park and Chinggis Khan Equestrian Statue complex; many endless adventures await you. Enjoy every moment with us!
