THE GOBI DESERT

Many travelers are fascinated by the Gobi Desert. It is at the top of the list for things to do in Mongolia. But over time, we realized that many came back disappointed. The long distances, the solitude, the fear of mechanical breakdown, the high cost of tourist camps, the landscapes not always up to expectations, have sometimes made travel difficult. There is also overtourism in places like the Khongor els which is still a shame for a country 3 times the size of France and populated by only 3 million inhabitants and where tourists should not be jostling.
