The Northern Edge of the World Sand Dunes
If you’re planning to travel from Uvs Lake to the spectacular dune area east of the lake, you can follow a route that takes you from Ulaangom towards Zuungobi. Along the way, you can take a pit stop in Zuungobi to refuel your vehicle. Once you leave the village, you’ll need to drive in a northeasterly direction for about 10 kilometers before reaching Bayan Lake. This stunning lake is located at an altitude of 1113 meters and is surrounded by awe-inspiring dunes, making it a great spot for taking some memorable photos.
Unknown Destination
The Buurug Del sand dune is an exceptional destination in Mongolia that is not yet fully developed for tourism and is sparsely populated. This chain of sand dunes stretches for about 180 kilometers, making it larger than the famous sand dune Khongoryn Els in the Gobi Desert. The region offers a diverse mix of salt lakes, sand dune areas, gravel deserts, and mountains. However, due to the sandy slopes, it is hardly passable, and it’s important to take necessary precautions when planning a trip to this region. Although the area is not well-developed for tourism, it’s a great location for camping. However, you must carry enough water and food with you, as there are no shops or restaurants nearby. The remoteness of the area makes it a wonderful place to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the serenity of nature.
