## 5 Must-Do Activities When Visiting the Gobi Desert Mongolia is an ideal escape offering peace and unique nomadic experiences. Here are five essential activities for Gobi Desert visitors. ### 1. Stay in a Ger (Yurt)  The traditional felt-tent accommodation provides an authentic nomadic experience. There is certainly no practical experience quite like sleeping and living in the original felt-tent nomadic folks of Mongolia use during seasonal migrations. ### 2. Climb Khongor Sand Dunes  These represent the largest and one of the most impressive sand dunes in the world, offering panoramic desert vistas from the peak. ### 3. Visit Bayanzag Excavated in 1922, this paleontological site ranks among one of the main places of discoveries of dinosaur bones, fossils and eggs which are millions of years old. ### 4. Ride a Camel  Almost a rite of passage while visiting the Gobi — camel riding provides adventure across the dunes. ### 5. Eat Lamb Local cuisine features lamb in all kinds of dishes you might imagine, from dumplings to soups, stews, and many more.
