Highlights and Information
Yolyn Am (Yol Valley)
A canyon inside Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park. It cuts narrow and deep between the Zuun Saikhan mountains, with rock walls about 200 m high in the central part. It has been protected since 1965, and the cool valley feels far from the dry Gobi landscape.
Visit a camel-herding nomad family
On the way to Ukhaa Tolgod, you visit a local nomadic family that keeps camels. Hear from the family about traditional customs and the practical knowledge of life in the Gobi among their animals.
Nemegt Uul
A mountain in Gurvantes sum, Umnugobi province, known worldwide as a dinosaur fossil locality. Reddish cliffs run on and on, and the area is also called the "Dragon's Tomb." Many dinosaurs, including Nemegtosaurus, have been found here.
Naran Daats
A rare Gobi oasis with clean spring water. Several springs come up near the top of a hill, and the rock layers around it hold Late Cretaceous dinosaur fossils.
Zulganai River
One of the larger of the 33 oases of the Mongolian Gobi. The river slips under the sand and then comes up again, and locals call the green area "Zuun Mod-Zulganai," or "Zulganai of a hundred trees."
Khermen Tsav
A canyon of red clay pillars, also called the "Grand Canyon of Mongolia." It is a famous fossil site as well, where Therizinosaurus and other fossils were found in the 1969 expedition.
Travel by private vehicle
On the unpaved and rough Gobi tracks, you travel in a private vehicle such as a 4WD. A guide and a driver stay with you, so you can relax even on the long drives.
*Sightseeing and meals may change depending on local conditions such as weather and road conditions.
