Trip to South Gobi province
Gobi is the largest desert region in Asia and the 5th largest in the world. A number of settlements along the Silk Road are located in the Gobi. It is believed that Gobi was formed due to low rainfall because the majestic Himalayan mountain range blocks the rain clouds coming to this region. Gobi is extremely diverse in terms of nature, climate and topography, as well as in terms of flora and fauna. For instance, the Umnogov (South Gobi) province is famous for archeological findings of rare fossils of ancient dinosaurs. Duration: 8 days
