Southern Mongolia
Khongoryn Els (Singing Dunes)
Overview
The largest sand dunes in Mongolia stretch for over 100 kilometers through the Gobi. Rising up to 300 meters, the dunes produce an eerie singing sound when wind sweeps across their crests. Climbing the dunes at sunset and sliding down is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
