Exploring Baga Gazriin Chuluu Nature Reserve in Mongolia's Gobi Desert

I’ll never forget driving through the Gobi Desert and approaching Baga Gazriin Chuluu Nature Reserve. Suddenly, vast open space turned to giant rock formations and granite outcroppings begging to be climbed and photographed. Interestingly, only 5% of the Gobi Desert is covered in sand, and this reserve in particular showcases a landscape so different from what you might typically picture when thinking of a desert. It’s recommended to camp overnight so that you can be perfectly situated for evening stargazing and a morning sunrise hike. Also be on the lookout for snow leopards, argali sheep, ibex, and various bird species. Grab my full Mongolia travel guide here: https://jessieonajourney.com/mongolia-travel-guide/
