Dinosaur fossils, Bearded Vultures, and singing sand dunes are just a few of the many treasures to be discovered in the Gobi Desert. From the green valleys in the foothills of the Gobi Altai Mountains to the dramatic red sandstone of the Flaming Cliffs, this adventure provides an in-depth exploration of the Gobi's secrets. Journey into this unforgettable landscape and share the Gobi with the two-humped camels and Argali mountain sheep, snow leopards and Gobi bears that live among the canyons, valleys, and dunes of this diverse region.

The multicolored granite rocks of the Gyalaan Valley and the immense "Singing Sands" of the Hongoryn Els dunes are among this expedition's unforgettable destinations. Other highlights include a visit to Tugrugin Shiree, where the "Fighting Dinosaurs" fossil was discovered, and a chance to go camel trekking in the Ayaldai Valley.
