Gobi-the Southern Mongolia, Khongor Sand Dunes
One of the most famous and exotic areas in the world, the Gobi Desert region has a history of adventures and explorers.
Known to be one of the harshest anvironments on the planet, with extreme temperature and seasonal changes, the Gobi is surprisingly full of wildlife, such as gazelle, wild ass or hulan, wild camel or havtgai, antelopes and the endangered Gobi bear or mazaalai. The Gobi Desert was the site of some of the most famous dinosaur fossil discoveries, including the world’s first dinosaur egg nests, some of which can be seen in Ulaanbaatar’s Natural History Museum. The majority of Mongolia’s population of Bactrain camels lives in this region and visitors can take a camel trek and see the Flaming Cliffs, the huge sand dunes of the Hongor Sand or the remarkable gorge at Yolyn Am (Lammergier Valley).
