Gobi (Southern Mongolia)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The clay from the former shores, hills, and soil of the Cretaceous period look like they are on fire during the sunrise and sunset. You may feel like you are on a different planet. But it\u2019s actually the southern region of Mongolia or Gobi Desert. Dinosaur fossils from millions of years ago still can be found here. Most are small and often hidden by Saxaul forests, which are ubiquitous with the Gobi, so you may pass them by without noticing. Desert plants look dry and withered but capable to store the rainwater for a long period of time due to their tenacity to survive in arid lands.\u00a0 Even though the footprint you made in a sand dunes can be erased by a wind, but the footprint of the Gobi desert will stay in your heart forever.<\/p>\n","tour_start_date":"","tour_end_date":"","image":"https:\/\/admin.bluewolftravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_5957Main.jpg","intro_text":"

        • Long bumpy rides: Be prepared for some epic long car rides in some old school furgons (Russian UAZ vans).
