Description
The Diversity of the Gobi DesertGobi – the name evokes images of vast expanses of sand dunes, red colored sediments rich in dinosaur fossils, camel riders and heat reflections above the desert landscape. While all these sights can be seen on the Gobi Desert Tour, there is much more to this landscape that is so rich in natural and human history. The Mongolian Gobi is a diverse landscape where rugged mountain ranges rise above the expansive plains of the desert.The largest National Park of Mongolia is situated here – “Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park”, which translates into “The Three Beauties of the Gobi”. These three mountain ranges are habitat for Argali, Ibex and snowleopard. The rock formations of the Gobi here have yielded some spectacular paleontology findings such as the first dinosaur eggs, and the first found specimens of Velociraptor and Protoceratops. This area is now protected as “Baynzag Park”.
