TOUR OVERVIEW

This tour let you discover the majestic Golden Gobi, the mysterious Kharkhorum, and central Mongolia. The Mongolian Gobi Desert is the sixth-largest desert in the world and 2nd largest in Asia. The Gobi is known for its dunes, mountains, and rare animals such as snow leopards, black-tailed deer, marten, lynx, wild cats, antelopes, and two-humped Bactrian camels. Therefore, the Mongolian Gobi Desert is the largest dinosaur fossil reservoir in the world.
​Through this tour, we will explore the most exciting and mysterious places, such as Vulture Canyon, also known as Eagle Valley, Khongor dunes, and Bayanzag Flaming Cliffs, which are especially important as regards dinosaur fossils from the late Cretaceous period, that is the last of the main three periods of the dinosaur age, representing the final phase of dinosaur evolution.
There are also many extraordinary places to discover Mongolian mysterious and majestic Gobi.
