    Thank you to Terka, our wonderful guide, and our fabulous drivers Munho, Shijie, and Mendee. They went above and beyond to share their beautiful country, and did everything with joy. The tour itself was amazing - Nadaam Festival was so much more than I expected, and travelling through the Gobi surprised me with how different the landscape was each day. Rolling green steppes, to icy valleys, to desert. This tour is the perfect way to experience the country. Each day in the Gobi involves a lot of time in the van to get to the next destination as it's so vast, but it's worth it to see so much in a short time. Thank you View Mongolia!
