Desert ger glamping

 

A kaleidoscope of lunar-like ochre dunes and rock formations, the Gobi Desert mesmerizes with its desert landscapes, endless space, and battle-tested wildlife. This rugged, sparsely populated, far-flung outpost should be on everyone’s Mongolia must-see list with the red sandstone Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag: the immense “Singing Sands” of the Hongoryn Els dunes; and the canyons of Yol Valley. Not to be missed.

Other highlights include a trip to the Tugrugin Shiree (where the “Fighting Dinosaurs” fossil was discovered) and camel treks through the Ayaldai Valley. Nomadic Expeditions leads the pack in sustainability-minded tours, offering jam-packed itineraries, including delightfully immersive family stays, camel rides, and camping under the stars. Oh, and dare we forget, overnights in Mongolia’s highly regarded, conscious luxury hotel, the Three Camel Lodge.
