Far from the madding crowd in the Gobi Desert

A place as fascinating as inhospitable. Home of the nomadic tribes who have managed to integrate with the surrounding evanescent environment. Here the landscapes change, going from the sandy desert, with dunes more than 100/200 meters high, to rocky areas, with mountain ranges shaped by the wind.

Desolate, silent. Animated by the sound of the “singing sands” of Khongoryn Els, the highest set of dunes in the country. Actually, the grains of sand shaped by wind or human activity can generate vibrations. Getting lost in this golden sea is possible with a jeep tour, plowing through the sand to discover camels, tribes and traditions.
