Why take this tour?

Gun Galuut is well worth a visit.  Gun Galuut Nature Reserve is a local protected area in Tuv province, 130km east of UB, for conservation of global threatened species. It comprises of 3 zones: tourism, limited, and core zones, which are the ecosystem of steppe, rocky mountain, small lakes, river, streams and wetland, and it is about 20000 hectare. With the help of the local ranger, there is a good chance that you will spot argali sheep.  Apparently the very best time to see them is during the rutting season when they only have one thing on their minds!  There is other good wildlife around too and we saw plenty of marmot as well as several foxes and White-Naped Crane. The area is the state combined from diversity of ecosystem although it owns comparatively small area. The harmonized complex of high mountains, steppes, rivers, lakes and wetlands as well are kept enough as its original condition.

About operator:

If you don't have time for a multi-day tour to the Gobi desert, try this one day "Semi-Gobi" experience instead. Instead of flying to the desert, take a short drive to Elsen Tasarkhai, a semi-desert region with mountains in the distance. After lunch, take a hike or take a horse or camel ride to the sand dunes. You'll also make a short visit to a local nomadic family to learn about their culture and traditions before heading back to Ulaanbaatar.
