Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national de Gobi Gurvansaikhan
The park protects rocky chains, valleys, dunes and wildlife adapted to aridity. The sites are very far away from each other and require several days with reliable vehicle. The weather, altitude and condition of the tracks must be checked before departure.
Museum
Musée du Gobi méridional
The provincial museum presents fossils, geology, wildlife and desert cultures. This stop provides landmarks before the park's long tracks. A slow tour allows you to go beyond the only points of view that are best known.
Place indismissible
Yolyn Am
A narrow gorge sometimes keeps late ice between the walls of the Gurvan Saikhan massif. The path is accessible, but altitude and sudden temperature variations surprise. A slow visit allows to go beyond the only points of view best known.
