Wildlife in Great Gobi A and B
Govi-Altai and Khovd
The two Great Gobi protected areas cover immense deserts along Mongolia's southwestern frontier. Their landscapes include arid mountains, stony plains, dunes, dry channels and isolated springs. They are internationally important refuges for large desert mammals, yet these animals occur at low density and are rarely casual roadside sightings. Travel requires permits, experienced local support and careful water planning. The scale and fragility of the habitat make low-impact field practice especially important.
