Dinosaur Native Land tour

 

The American Museum of Natural History and the Mongolian Academy of Science Team stumbled into this valley in 1993. At Ukhaa Tolgod, we have an incredible richness of fossils. Roughly 200 mammal skulls come from this site alone. That is an extraordinary number, and it exceeds the number of specimens found from all localities in the Gobi, over 70 years. 

The Khongoriin Els sand dunes extend along the northern side of Sevrei and Zoolon mountains. These dunes are 180 km long, 15-20 km wide and up to 200m high. There is a small oasis near Khongoriin gol stream, which flows along the northern edge of the dunes. The scenery here is simply spectacular.

Yoliin Am (Vulture Gorge) is a narrow valley located in the Zuun Saikhan Mountain of Gobi Gurvan Saikhan mountain range, with thick pieces of ice almost all year around hidden at its bottoms. This area is home to rare animals such as the Argali (wild sheep) and Ibex as well as Vultures and other large prey birds. There are impressive herds of gazelles and occasional sightings of the rare Khulan (Asiatic wild ass) grazing on the endless steppe.

Nomadic Camel Herders - You will visit local nomadic families, the friendliest and most hospitable people that you would ever meet, to have a bowl of camel yoghurt and taste camel milk. Then meet camel breeders and ride two-humped Bactrian camel and take photos of your camel experience along the way.
It is a unique chance to experience the life of the Gobi nomads, how they tend their livestock, keep their camels, bring up their children and make living in the coldest desert on earth.
