The Gobi, famous for its rich flora and fauna, has always attracted the greatest explorers including Marco Polo and, more recently, Roy Chapmen Andrews who discovered the first known dinosaurs’ eggs at Flaming Cliffs in 1927.
The brilliant blue sky and thousands of stars are a once in lifetime experience. Imagine yourself riding a two-humped camel across the tallest sand dunes of the Gobi Desert alongside the gurgling spring of an oasis! The Gobi is the place where strangers can expect great hospitality from any family they meet. You can encounter, amongst other wild species, the glamorous Ibex, Wild Horned Sheep, Wild Ass, Steppe Gazelle and the soaring Lammergear in Yoliin Am.
