📍 Destination Overview
Dalanzadgad, capital of Mongolia's South Gobi Province, is the gateway to Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park, the largest in Mongolia. Its icebound Yolyn Am gorge hosts snow leopards, ibex and eagles, while the red Three Beauties blaze at sunset. Bayanzag is famed for dinosaur-egg fossils; nomadic culture and fossils offer unique experiences. The warm summer trekking season is best.
