Highlights

General description
Let us show you the wonders of Gobi. Gobi is a Mongolian word that stands for desert. When people talk about desert, most of us imagine sand covered Sahara desert. Central Asian Expedition led by American researcher and explorer Roy Chapman Andrews brought home the first ever recorded dinosaur eggs found from Desert of Mongolia. Imagine yourself eye witnessing the great Flaming Cliffs where all the fossils and eggs were discovered while enjoying the dusk. Khermen Tsav a picturesque canyon almost as the mini version of Great Grand Canyon has a lot to offer you like its Egyptian Sphinx cliff. Wonders of Gobi will continue with long stretches of Khongor sand dunes which lie within Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park. At Khongor or Singing dunes you will relish fine grains of sand, mountains, two-humped Bactrian camels, lifestyle of Gobi nomads, narrow streams which would look unlike any desert.
