This trip allows you to discover a great variety of cultural diversity and natural attractions across the country from South to North. We’ll start your tour of the legendary Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert covers 1.3 million square kilometres and has hot summers and cold winters. Gobi is well known worldwide for its dinosaur fossilised eggs and skeletons. In the Great Gobi, we’ll visit the place where these eggs and skeletons were found in the 1920s, the Tsagaan Suvarga limestone formation, 300-meter-high dunes, camel riding along the dunes, and ruins of the old Gobi temple.
