Chinggis Khaan International airport is located on the route from Ulaanbaatar to Gobi Desert. Therefore, sometimes it is better to go directly to Gobi without wasting time on the congested road to Ulaanbaatar. Our company can pick you up from your international flight and drive you directly to Gobi Desert by private car to start your journey. Also, Khongor Sand Dune is too far for a 3-day trip, so it is not included in this program.
