Road trip across the Gobi Desert

The Gobi Desert is spread across two countries, Mongolia and China. Despite the growing popularity of this destination and the ballooning numbers of visitors, it is still too early to speak of a developed tourism infrastructure. Hotels and camping sites can be found along the main roads and near the most popular attractions. Ulaanbaatar and its suburbs as well as Mongolia’s ancient capital Kharkorin have places to stay, but the deeper you move into the desert, the fewer accommodation options you’ll encounter.
