Although the country’s tourism infrastructure still has a long way to go (including language barriers, lack of paved roads, and limited options for accommodation — to name a few), the challenges are worth overcoming to find the treasures that lie in the Monglian Gobi Desert. You’ll be one of only a few tourists who get to behold these epic desert viewpoints, who get to sleep under the Milky Way every night, and who get to explore the vast and boundless wilderness of Mongolia.  The Gobi Desert is one of the most fascinating places to see in the world, filled with prehistoric natural sites, stunning scenic views and sunsets, rich ancient Mongolian culture, and adventure that you shouldn’t miss. Be sure to See the painted mountains at the White Stupa, ride horses and hike through Yol Valley, climb the sand dunes, watch sunset at the Flaming Cliffs, and stay the night in a traditional yurt. #awesomepic
