The Gobi Desert, a legendary and enigmatic expanse, has long been shrouded in myths and folklore. Covering a third of Mongolia, it's a captivating and intimidating realm where geography, history, and prehistory intertwine with a rich tapestry of plants, animals, and human society. Surprisingly complex, Mongolians identify no less than 33 different 'gobis,' based on soil color and composition. Within the Gobi Desert, there's a diverse range of landscapes, from wildlife sanctuaries and towering mountains to awe-inspiring canyons adorned with dramatic rock formations. Our tour is designed for those seeking to uncover the Gobi Desert's main highlights within a brief timeframe, making it accessible for all adventurers.
