Mongolia South Gobi Sightseeing, Khongor Sand Dunes, Bayanzag and Terelj National Park, 6-Day Tour 

6 days / 5 nights tour MO-06

People who do not know the Gobi Desert tend to imagine a barren desert without a blade of grass, like the Sahara, but the real Mongolian Gobi has various types. "Gobi" in Mongolian means land with sparse short grass, and although the image is of a barren desert without a single plant, the desert actually makes up only 25% of the country's area. In this land camel herding is most common. Many dinosaur fossils have also been excavated here, stirring romance for the ancient past. The Moltsog dunes, about 50 km north of the South Gobi airfield, offer scenery exactly like the image Japanese people have of the Gobi Desert.

Highlights and Information

South Gobi Desert

Bayanzag, where dinosaur bones lie about
 A place known worldwide because dinosaur eggs and fossils were found here. This area became known to the world around the 1920s through the American explorer Roy Chapman Andrews. Andrews excavated several dinosaur fossils and eggs here, which are now said to be on display in America's largest museum. The area is also famous for many rare objects found that prove people have lived here for millions of years. If you look carefully, you might find a fragment of a dinosaur fossil.

Yolyn Am Valley
 In the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan Mountains there is a beautiful place called Yolyn Am. Yolyn Am means "Valley of the Eagles" in Mongolian. Indeed eagles fly above the valley, and you can understand the name. The valley is at a high altitude of 2,200 m, and snow remains here even in early summer. In midsummer the snow melts, but the valley without snow is cool and pleasant. On a hot summer day it is fun to walk on the ice in the valley. Wild sheep and goats, wolves, Gobi bears, vultures and wild asses also live here.

Khongor Sand Dunes
The Gobi Desert spreads across southern Mongolia. Much of it is desert with pebbles and low shrubs, but about 200 km from South Gobi, large sand dunes suddenly appear. The dunes, which continue like mountains as far as you can see, are more than about 50 m high. At the foot of the dunes there is a rare landscape with grassland, grass and short trees growing, and small rivers flowing. You often see camels trekking with tourists. This course lets you enjoy the moving scenery of these dunes, said to be No. 1 in Mongolia. Of course you also stay in a ger from which you can see the dunes. Staying in great nature with no man-made objects as far as you can see makes you completely forget daily life. In slow-flowing time, stroll across the dunes on a camel, and at night look up at the starry sky, and you will truly feel embraced by Mongolian nature.
