The Gobi Desert is an impressive region that boasts a remarkable landscape. A moment of inspiration, where a rich palette of colours paint the surrounds.
The Gobi desert extends from northern Inner Mongolia – an autonomous region of China – to southern Mongolia, and covers an area of approximately 1,300,000 km² (not quite what you would describe as small!).

The Gobi is one of the world's largest deserts. Extending across northern China and southern Mongolia, it accounts for almost a third of the latter country's land area.
My suggestion
The Gobi Desert is extremely vast, so head for just two or three main sites and arrange your sightseeing trips from there. Bear in mind that most parts of the Gobi are rarely visited and the availability of organised transport is dependent on demand.

My suggestion
Carefully plan any trip to Mongolia in advance, because if you're solo travelling without a vehicle it's not the easiest country to navigate. As I unfortunately found out for myself.
