When you think of Gobi Desert, you may be filled with a thought of endless sea of sand covering large swaths of land as far as the eye can see. But, in truth, the lands of Gobi Desert are full of life where both the domesticated livestock and exotic wildlife, not only survive, but thrive.
The tour is designed to provide a full experience of Gobi in short span of time. We visit all the main destinations that embody the spirit of Gobi.
In the morning, meet with the guide and take a flight to Dalanzadgad. Upon arrival, visit the newly opened Dinosaur Museum which depicts the history of both the local peoples and numerous Dinosaur related findings in the South Gobi region.

Also known as the Singing Sands, these dunes are located approximately 250km from the town of Dalanzadgad and show the majestic nature of the Gobi. Once we arrive at the local ger camp, we will check-in at the camp and enjoy lunch.
After the day’s heat passes, we visit a local nomadic family to witness their lifestyle and ride their camels towards the Sand Dune. The dunes stretch for a length of 120 kilometers and cover a width of 4-5 kilometers. Climbing the dune rewards you with an astonishing view of the surrounding landscape.

In the morning, depart towards Bayan zag, also known as the Flaming cliffs. The local cliffs earned their name due to the red-scorching colors they gain during sunset. Upon arrival in the area, check-in at the camp and have lunch.
Afterwards, visit the Flaming cliffs which gained prominence due to discoveries made by Roy Chapman Andrews who visited Mongolia in 1922 with his expedition. The expedition made important paleontological discoveries, which included several new species of Dinosaurs and the World’s first fossilized Dinosaur eggs. Visit the local information center and enjoy a trek along the cliffs.
