Mongolia: Gobi Desert – Hiking into Khongoryn Els Dunes
Khongoryn Els Sand dunes are perhaps the most prominent feature of the Govbi Desert. The dunes are located in the most southern part of the Gobi and run a strip 180km long and 6km wide. The constant westerly winds shift the dunes nonstop producing the singing sound of the loving sand, hence the dunes are known as “singing dunes”. Hiking in the dunes is hard as you slide and slip in sand but the panorama is soooo worth the effort!
