THE GOBI DESERT

The Gobi Desert is a east zone of desert and desert steppe covering almost 30 percent of the Mongolian territory. The area is often imagined as a lifeless desert like in many other parts of the world. In reality, most part of the Gobi Desert is a land of steppes and it is the home for camel breeders rich with wildlife and vegetation. Wild asses, camels, snow leopards, mountain sheep and gazelles flourish here, as do different types of flora.Dinosaur skeletons and their petrified eggs have been preserved here to the present day. Mongolians consider that there are 33 different Gobi, where sandy desert occupies only 3 percent of the total territory. Climate is extreme with 40 degrees Celcius in summer and severe winter. The Great Gobi Reservation established in 1975 was designated by the United Nations as the fourth largest Biosphere Reserve in the world in 1991. One and a half hour’s travel by plane.

Why Book With Us?

  • I first contacted him back in December, desperately searching for a way to buy Naadam Festival tickets. Not only did he promise to help—he did it all in fluent German, my native language! Over the months, we stayed in touch, and when tickets finally went live, Otschir went above and beyond. He invested so much time and effort, tirelessly helping me navigate every hurdle. Thanks to him, the impossible became possible. Without Otschir I’d have been lost. Mongolia’s a challenging place for foreigners without the language, but he made it feel like home. Hero Nomads has a true hero in him!
  • Great experience overall. Afred, an english speaking guide and driver brought us to stunnig places in the fann mountains including a 6h hike and homestays for a real authentic local experience. The service and communication provided by Oriz was very professional and everything worked out perfectly fine. I would definitely book it again and recommend to others. Afred, the guide, is just a super nice and trustworthy person.
